Dream Goal

Remember my dream (had no recollection from May 4)

Meditation and Sleep

Meditation at 11:45pm. Went to bed at 12:00am. Woke at 6:30am and recalled this dream:

  • Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation, holding a “science baby”.
  • Building a fence that needs to be built around at the side of my house on Bartley Bull Pky, between mine and Terri & Penny’s yard.
  • Intentionally placing photos of Toby around the new house in Papineau in bad placements, to always remember him and force ourselves to talk about him.

Contemplation & Connections

I have no idea what a “science baby” is, but this was the impression I recall from my dream of Geordi La Forge. I don’t have any particular connection to this dream. I suppose there is a small connection to Toby in this way: Toby beat the odds to even be conceived and had an eventful birth. Emily had an IUD at the time of his conception. He was born at home, which is increasingly rare. He also had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice when he was born.

I’m distinctly aware of the fence I will soon need to build as supplies become available during this pandemic. It will also need to be done while the weather is favourable for it. I don’t know what the house in Papineau will look like, but I had a non-descript image of a “new” house which felt to be in Papineau. I don’t know that the placement of Toby’s photos were objectively “bad”, but I remember their placements feeling awkward in the dream. The intent however was very clear, and I completely relate as it’s something I’m very concerned about. I don’t want to forget Toby. I want to hold on to any memory I can of him.
