Yes, I know what cattails are, and think they are lovely flowers.
As for your dream, it seems to me, (and sometimes I do wonder if this is exactly it with me), that the things I feel with this couple are all in my own mind, I guess. I was not 100% sure how to interpret every part of your dream--so I checked in the dream dictionary.
To walk down a road that is smooth and bordered by flowers shows steady progress and steady climb up the social ladder. So perhaps even being friends with this couple would help me 'climb' the social ladder. They are both nice, and I do like them, wouldn't mind having a friendly relationship with them--but as I mentioned--they really confuse me from one moment to the next.
I would think that flowers indicate peace and happiness and with the colors, I concentrated more on that.
The blue is a calming color and one of understanding. The purple is a color of creativity, mystery and magic. Both colors are also colors of wisdom--and both are often thought to be of a psychic's color. So, perhaps I need to be more understood by them and understanding of them? Maybe they are unsure of how to take me? I only speak of my abilities when asked. I never bring it up--especially in mixed company, as you don't know how people will react with the knowledge. Sometimes when we talk - they never mention it and so I don't either. Then sometimes they will ask me a question or two and I always answer it to the best of my ability. However, maybe these flowers are indicating that they are as perplexed with me as I am with them?
What a thought!
The cattail is another symbol I had to look up and it indicates that you give this to create peace between friends as well to wish someone prosperity. So perhaps I need to get them some cattails.
Actually, I think it is saying to just carry on as I am--and be friendly with them when we do see each other and wish them well. To not worry about anything else.
I just don't understand this couple at times, because they are one day very friendly and interested in me and my abilities, then the next time I talk with them they are very distant and seemingly not wanting to associate with the likes of me at all. The air between us can be very heavy, you know? I'm not sure if it has much to do with my gifts--but they run hot and cold with me definitely on that and even with being around me. They really perplex me. I never know whether I should try to be friendly with them or just avoid them altogether. I have avoided contact with them at times, and then when I run into them they will ask me, "Have you been avoiding me?"
So, I really do not know what to do around them. I am naturally open and friendly with everyone--but these two really confuse me.
Regarding the deep pit and the mirrors that turned to fire would definitely indicate how I sometimes feel. The pit is feeling hopeless about a situation. Well that sums it up beautifully for me. I am feeling hopeless about them. As for the mirrors and fire, I can only guess that the mirrors would be how I see myself, and with them turning to fire, I think it is telling me that I need to change/transform myself. ??? I'm not going to change who I am to make this couple 'like' me. Its not really important to me if they accept me or not into their circle. I just wish I could be more comfortable around them and at ease when we are together.
If you have anything else to add to my thoughts on this and what it means for me, I'm open to hear it. Thank you for your dream, katieb.
