Dreaming of Jewelry

I had a dream this morning about a piece of jewelry (only I would have a dream like this--lol). Someone in the dream was giving me my own jewelry, a large piece of jade as the centerpiece on a beaded choker. I had made the jewelry to sell, but for some reason this person insisted on giving it back to me (I don’t know who the person was). I resisted, and then, when I finally took it back, I realized, in the dream (I knew I was dreaming at this point---I think that’s called lucid dreaming) that this was symbolic. (I was also thinking within the dream that it was strange that I would dream about a piece of jewelry) This gesture, of giving me back this necklace I had made, somehow meant that everything I need is inside of me. Everything I am looking for, in other words, all the outer things that I think matter, come from within rather than the outside. I took it in reference to my creative life, since the jewelry is symbolic of that (I do make jewelry, as many of you know). It’s hard to separate the need for community through my writing and art, from the need for the act of creation itself. Sometimes anyway. I guess I want both. But I’ll continue to create, no matter what.
