As my dreams are full of murderous mayhem at the moment, I can't comment on symbols of renewal, but I wanted to say I appreciated your post. What resonated with me was how we can resist change and how dreams can reveal powerful defences that we would not otherwise be conscious of. I suppose if there was a small symbol of renewal in latest dream, it was that some blue and white patterned creatures appeared from the bushes, wanted to be rescued, but they couldn't be saved and we were all slaughtered. On waking, they reminded me of the blue creatures from the Avatar films, peaceful, vulnerable - and yes, perhaps a symbol of the life that wants to come through.

*What typical symbols of renewal have you experienced in dreams or fantasies?* Question: can I use active imagination [as I dont dream - I can only think of asking a tarot card to come forth?

*Were these accompanied by difficult or intense images as well?* Question: What might this look like if I utilise tarot - not sure how fantasies work.

*Which resources do you draw upon to facilitate the processes of renewal?* Question: I am not sure might you share some ideas.

Thank YOU

I love how you honor where you are and see resistance as a companion on the journey. I am in a pattern of resistance now and knowing it but still resisting change is a. Internal struggle of epic proportions. Your take on it gave me a lot of peace to give myself grace. Thanks for a wonderful piece!
