This dream was probably prompted by the fact that Tuesday night’s group meditation was cancelled. The images were picked up from a conversation I had with a co-worker where I had been talking about taking out the wall-to-wall carpets in my apartment to replace them with area and scatter rugs. I mentioned they would provide me with the kind of colours and hues I would enjoy along with new living room furniture, and that the colour theme would be green.
My mom lying on a futon, relaxed, refers to the first group meditation. I was sitting on a futon in Hell’s place. My mom and I enjoy a very relaxed relationship at present.
The solid forest green colour I associate with healing, the graduated orange with an energy force, and the several hues of pink with universal love.
Cayce interprets carpets in dreams as ‘being stepped on’ or being someone’s doormat but, in whatever way it relates to this carpet dream, I disagree. Because of the colours and the middle area that looked almost like a wheel spinning, I think it may represent a chakra, possibly the heart chakra.
The green ottoman, I think, represents unfinished business. An ottoman is defined in the dictionary as ‘a low, cushioned seat without a back or arms — a kind of couch or divan, with or without a back —
a low, cushioned footstool.’ Furthermore, an ottoman usually accompanies a large comfortable chair, which I did not see in the dream but felt was somewhere in the room. Its square form and solid legs make
me think that the foundation (the carpet) is solid, but there is still much that is required in order to get the full picture.
