Herb,

I love this! It reminds me so much of an experience I had long ago during my sleep. I was flowing along the current of a river on a mat of some sort. I sensed there was also someone flowing along next to me. I heard a voice say that sometimes an animal will come to help, and instantly a playful otter appeared, swimming along with me.

A house appeared beside the river, and I went up on land and in it. There were others in spirit with me. "Madonna" lived on the ground level, and we went up the stairs to the next level. There was a "mean man" who wouldn't let us go out a certain door to get back to the river. So, I looked down to the river to assess the situation, seeing our only option was to dive from quite high. There was some unpleasant swill spread out for quite a ways. It was gross! lol I wondered if we could dive over the swill and not land in it. The next thing I know I was in spirit flying along, looking down at one small island after another, with the most exotic and beautiful animals, but not like animals in this physical world as we know it. It was amazing and highly symbolic.

Thanks for sharing this!

Love to All,
Debbie
