The Pitcairn Man

The Pitcairn Man

I am living in a small sunny home that opens in the back onto ancient fields of grass with rows of stone. I am an adult but living with my mother [not a woman that I recognize when awake]. I make several trips to the fields and am discussing the origins of the rows of mostly flat stones that run in long rows parallel to the back of the house. They form gentle tiers sloping down as they get further away. They were made in ancient times for a specific purpose, that may still be a mystery.

Two men come to the house. We go to the back and again discuss the stone rows. The men are very menacing and directly threaten me and by implication my mother. I am frightened and do not know how to protect myself. I decide to invoke The Pitcairn Man. It is dangerous and there may be extreme violence, but he will take care of the threatening men.

I go in the house, my mother is asleep on the couch. I climb in next to her and pull over the cover. I am anticipating a quick and violent encounter for the strangers. Nothing happens immediately but I still have faith that The Pitcairn Man is coming to take care of business.

I am now walking down the street outside the house. The two men are arranging things in their vehicle. They have been hired to dig a precise hole in the ground. It may be a grave, they may or may not know the purpose of the hole. I tell them their job is going to be shorter than expected and will only last two days. I also instruct them to dig a second hole in the ground.

As I walk away I think the hole is to become their grave. They are complaining between themselves that if they knew the job was so short they may not have come.

I am now walking back to the house, there may be a gate on the left side of the house that I am considering entering and going into the back. I am surprised that nothing has happened yet but am still very confident that The Pitcairn Man will act soon. I wake.




Notes: All the scenes are very clear and bright. I feel fear in the dream but I am neutral when I wake. It strikes odd that the Term "Pitcairn Man" is so specific and I have no idea what it is.

What does the dream want? There is something very threatening to me and my family that will be taken care of by invoking an ancient power. I have been researching vipassana meditation retreats. It is a 10 day meditation retreat that is reported to be very difficult but powerful.  Is this encouragement to do it?


Vipassana Meditation
https://www.dhamma.org/en/vipassana

Vipassana Meditation. Vipassana, which means to see things as they really are, is one of India's most ancient techniques of meditation. It was rediscovered by Gotama Buddha more than 2500 years ago and was taught by him as a universal remedy for universal ills, i.e., an Art Of Living.

Pitcairn Island


Settled in 1790 by mutineers from the storied H.M.S. Bounty, Pitcairn Island is one of the British Empire’s most isolated remnants, a mystical hunk of rock that was largely ignored until 1996. Then Pitcairn’s secret was exposed: generations of rape and child molestation as a way of life. Delving into the South Pacific island’s past, the authors chronicle its 10-year clash with the British legal system, which ripped apart a tiny society.

The Disappointing Revelation

The Disappointing Revelation

I am with someone who is slowly revealing to me a series of special objects that they have collected just for me.  They each have special significance, but the last is the key to my future. A pair of colorful bedazzling treasures precede the final gift. They are turquoise with shinny tiny mirrors. I am amazed at their beauty. The last special token is revealed. It is an over sized artist paint brush. It has a brown unfinished wooden handle and round tip.

My immediate reaction in the dream is huge disappointment and sadness. I have tried being a visual artist. I have no talent. WTF.



Notes: When I wake I realize the dream may not be literal (duh!). If a brush is the most important think right now, may it is the brush work I need to do at the Thompson Apartments. Maybe it is not being an artist, it is completing a commitment, reach a level of financial security and get on with my life.

Or....and....maybe I should revisit my artist expression side. When looking for a picture of the brush in the dream I found a watercolor brush (Silver Brush) site that insipred me to consider painting dream scrapes in water color.

What does the dream want?

1. Finish Thompson apartments. Sell them. Be smart with my money. Cary on.
2. Explore becoming a water color artist painting dreamscapes.
3. Pan-American motorcycle trip expansion.  Combine Lucid Dreaming, Guns and Art as part of the trip. Guns only in the US.

Note: The Pan-American Highway is a network of roads measuring about 30,000 kilometers (19,000 mi)[2] in total length. Except for a rain forest break of approximately 160 km (100 mi), called the Darién Gap, the road links almost all of the Pacific coastal countries of the Americas in a connected highway system. According to Guinness World Records, the Pan-American Highway is the world's longest "motorable road". However, because of the Darién Gap, it is not possible to cross between South America and Central America with conventional highway vehicles. Without an all-terrain vehicle, it is necessary to circumnavigate this terrestrial stretch by sea.
