Dream: Magical Flooding

I dreamed that I lived on a property with 3 dwellings on it. Beaver lived in the house, with my second-youngest child. DD and a friend lived in the longhouse with the 2 oldest children who were around 10 or 12. I lived with Kalypso and the baby in the tiny granny flat. It was so lovely.

The house and the longhouse (but not the grannyflat) were afflicted by a magical flooding. A room or two in each of the houses was flooded, and there was no way to relieve the flood. You could open the door, cut a hole in the floor, but nothing allowed the water to drain away under gravity. KV found a piece of furniture that was damaged by the flood and told me that “apart from the water” it would be a useful piece. But there was no way to repair it, even though the surface looked ok.

I was so happy and content in the grannyflat with K. Even though it was small, it was lovely. People began to visit the other 2 houses and I went to greet them and guide them, wading, through the flooded rooms. I spoke at length with a handy girl who had tried to expel the water about the various methods she had tried.

My 2 oldest kids told me that DD had been bullying them… and the last part of the dream was trying to engage him in a discussion of why. He kept changing and ignoring.

I woke with a great sense of relief from the problems which aren’t mine. The flood of emotion doesn’t reside in my house - even though my interests might. I can move my interests away from those hateful, damaging places and people, and from the problems which really are not mine!
