The Love Street Dream

mazecraft13I had a dream about Rowan last night. She is in the process of moving in real life right now. But in the dream she sent me a bunch of photos and short videos via instagram messages that played out like a story or reels. In the photos, she was living with a bunch of artists and creatives, working on music, painting old furniture in fun primary colors, having chill parties and generally happy. Synden was there off and on and in an exaggeration of real life was the raven among the tropical birds that Rowan and her friends seemed. There was a blonde girl that was in many of the photos that may have been Rowan's primary roommate, and possibly her partner. But whether just friends or more, everyone looked extremely happy, and it all felt very "Love Street."
I think it is interesting though that instead of dreaming myself into this life that they are living, I was only witness to it from afar. Even the raven had a place among their flock, but was not a part of it. Yet in the dream Rowan shared the images and was excited for me to see everything that was happening. The feeling I got from the dream Rowan was that she was sharing them because she wanted to share her happiness and celebrate it with me, even if only through the vicariousness of social media.
I can't help but wonder if there is something to the compensatory theory in that I was imagining within the dream what I wish for myself, yet still feel unable to reach. After all I live with an artist but it is nothing like the vibe of the dream where the people in and around Rowan all inspired each other to create and actualize their best selves. For now though, that is my takeaway from the dream: that vibe is priceless, worth striving for, and should be cherished and nurtured wherever it is found.
