3 Things Live and 3 Things Not
November 23rd, 2022 by G.
I had a dream where I saw an adobe wall. It was a little scene. The dream called my attention to the fact that there were three live things and three things not live. The inanimate things were a rough pine ladder against the wall, a niche in the wall, and a stone on the ground. The three live things were a santo in the niche (it talked), a bird on the ladder, and a flower by the stone. The dream was pretty insistent on there being the three inanimate things and the three live things. And that was it. That was the whole dream. It was very peculiar.
Wanted: Daniel. Joseph would also do.

My wife wanted to know what kind of flower it was, and if there were any dominent colors.
She interprets, you are ascending towards a goal, but stay on the path. Be steadfast on your goal, but receive guidance.

A winged creature on a ladder suggests Jacob’s famous dream when he used a stone (meteorite) as a pillow. Was the santo by any chance an image of the Blessed Virgin, among whose Spanish epithets is “Luz”?

Three living things: the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob — the God of the living, not the dead.

It’s a trick question. All 6 are beings with some degree of life and consciousness. Checkmate, dream!
Both the ladder and the bird go up and down. Both the niche and the flower give variety and beauty to their surroundings.

(Oops)
Both the stone and the santo are known to cry out, particularly in praise of the Holy One, the Chief Cornerstone.
I’m curious what may happen should you call the living things “hot” and the inanimate things “cold” and treat them like virtue sets.

You guys are super smart.
The flower was yellow or white.
I don’t think the santo was the blessed virgin, though it was a woman. For some reason I feel like it might have been Santa Teresa.
@ben Pratt, I thought it was ironic that I had this dream a day or two before I read BC on nothing being dead. I hadn’t made those kinds of connections though

Saint Teresa Littleflower?

This is unlikely to have any relevance, but a santo of Teresa makes me think of Santorini and Therasia, formerly a single island before they were blown apart by a volcanic eruption around 1600 BC.
