A Dream of Eucatastrophe

I want to tell you about a dream I had in the wee hours last night, pertaining to how this "movie" (this Age) ends... or rather, doesn't, as you will see.

So the setting is a great ship sailing on the stormiest of brineys. The cast is that of Babylon 5 (it isn't important to understand the dream if you haven't seen this great series), plus one very special guest right at the end, for the much needed musical and comical relief.

Our vessel is doom-bound for a fateful encounter with an enemy, though non are named, and on reflection, perhaps it relays instead the message that the war is with ourselves and that of the conditioning we have received in this passing Age of Pisces (hence the setting of the movie).

Captain Sheridan and crew have tried numerous iterations of an ending, but all have failed to bring a eucatastrophe - the unlooked for & divine turning of the wheel/ wind/ tide, which brings victory.

The action sequences and excellent script-writing the Dreamweaver sent to me I will spare you the trouble of reading, but the key to how we change the outcome - disastrous in all previous attempts - came when I realised that our Captain Sheridan had chosen to sacrifice himself in each case. Usually occurring with a fall of some kind.

"That's it!", I decried, & told (only a few trusted members of our crew, withholding the crucial plot device I had in mind from those in whom I couldn't be 100% certain).

Pisces is about Victim & Abuser, Tyrant & Martyr; a polarity that has played out so many times in our recorded history. And indeed, Sheridan in Babylon 5 even chooses certain death with a great fall into an abyss & is born again after a brief spell in an Underworld, with a very Plutonian, yet kindly & ultimately benevolent entity.

But Aquarius doesn't want to die for others, it wants to LIVE free in FREE communities. So this time, Sheridan must not sacrifice himself & instead choose to continue, with his beloved crew.* If we also consider that Aquarius is Air & therefore he needs to rise/ fly, rather than fall, if we are to find safe passage through this storm.

This notion was immediately kenned (grokked/ understood) by the command crew and all of the tension of this movie broke, in the best possible way:

Cue the arrival of David Bowie (😂), dressed as The Goblin King, who wanted nothing more than to be read this tale in full, whilst I decided to include an ad-libbed version (all contributing - very Aquarius) of Magic Dance. I think he also mentioned he was there to help with the costume department, which, if you've seen him in Labyrinth*, is probably better if you don't come and watch my particular version of this movie (😂).

P.S. I often include dream interpretation in my Tarot readings, if any have been particularly meaningful for you. Feel free to book a reading or message to enquire! 💚
