The Exotic Power Dinner [Calea, Mugwort and Vervain: WBTB, Dried leaves smoked, then all three combined into a potent tea]  Approimately 2 talbe spoons of leaf to 6oz of water

I am outside a very casual elegant island resort restaurant. It is warm with island air all around. The jungle is very close to the open building that the restaurant is in. I am waiting for someone. A very arrange conveyance arrives and parks in a slot that seems to be made for it. He is very dark and is  native royalty. I cannot remember how to properly pronounce his name, so I call him from a distance slightly mumbling and introduce myself.

As we enter the restaurant we hold hands briefly. When we get to our seats my wife (not Cindy) is sitting with a powerful businessman we are here to impress, but it is a table for two. The restaurant is tiny and small tables are stuffed very close to each other. We sit just next to them.

I am looking at my salad in great detail. I can see amazing colors and variety of ingredients. It is like looking into an exotic terrarium. Then I see tiny bugs that blend perfectly into the salad scenery and am slightly horrified. I make my way back of the dinning room to the front to speak with the staff. I start talking with a woman who is dark and beautiful dressed is a colorful wraparound dress. I look at the salad plate and realize that there are shadows in the room. I move to a brightly lighted spot and show her the salad. I say, just watch, and indeed the movement starts all over the plate. I very politely mention she may want to do something about this, but that we will skip the salad.

I am outside with my royal guest. We are looking into tall angular glass columns that are glass supported by green metal work. Inside are are beautiful creatures, mostly reptiles, from the environment. I tell my guest that the tubes are open from the top so the animals can come and go. They are fed in the containers for the guests viewing.

As I am saying this I think, that is a lie. I am telling him this as a slimy sales tactic. The cages are closed. I have a brief view of one of the green creatures from the enclosure on the ground. It is flat and dead.

Notes: The tea, as usual was close to unpalatable. I take a big mouthful, swallow quickly and then chase with orange juice. It still make we wince. I had many vivid dreams but only remembered the last one. I woke at 5:30am to an alarm. Back to sleep by 7 and did not awake until noon.

What is the dream telling me? Relations with men may threaten my marriage. I can be a slimy salesman?

What am I going to do about it? Focus on what is important not what feels good for the moment.
