Issue #13 The start of school was signaled weeks ago by special prices offered for books, loose leaf paper, pens, crayons, backpacks etc. For me this triggered the excitement I always felt at the beginning of a new school year as a student and even the beginning of a new semester as a teacher/professor. I still love the feeling of "newness" in the air. As I write this on Thursday, August 20, a New Moon is blossoming. Have you ever tried a New Moon Wish List? This empowers you to make your wishes known to the universe. Create your intention of what you would like to initiate and write it down somewhere in the optimum time window of eight hours after the New Moon's appearance. The next New Moon is on Friday, September 18. I encourage you to write your wish list in a notebook or on a piece of paper that you will safely tuck away. Your may have one item on your wish list or even several pages. I suggest you usher in the new period on a positive note. Here's a golden oldie song that speaks volumes with its message. "You got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and latch on to the affirmative. Don’t mess with mister in between. You got to spread joy up to the maximum. Bring gloom down to the minimum. And have faith or pandemonium liable to walk upon the scene. Johnny Mercer, Songwriter" I keep inspiring fragments of sayings and songs around my desk to remind me to change the channel or reverse the cycle when I start feeling negative. Living in a negative cycle becomes habitual and is often hard to turn around. Any first attempt, no matter how weak, will suffice. When you sense yourself becoming negative, stop and think about what it would mean to apply that negative energy in the opposite direction. You can take the sadness that you feel and turn it into caring. Rather than being annoyed, let yourself be amused. Or, Instead of feeling envy toward others, transform it into admiration. Even if you feel yourself becoming angry, put that energy into positive, productive determination. Finally, you can accentuate the positive and bounce back from any sudden loss as you smile at someone and feel the energy change or recall a treasured moment with family and friends ”Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with our tears…together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed." Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

You can find out more about my dream consultations on my website www.drmarciaemery.com Since this is electronic, I am not able to respond back and forth as I would in a dream consultation. I give my brief impressions and hope some tidbit will resonate to the dreamer for deeper exploration. Always remember when you are interpreting someone’s dream to say, “If this were my dream, this is what it would mean to me.” DREAM: It starts off with me and a small group of friends. It's my birthday and nobody has acknowledged that, so I am a little upset. My friends invite me to this theatre where they say they have a surprise for me. I get there and notice more of my friends there, but it doesn't occur to me to ask why. I am led to the backstage area where my friend Cindy informs me that they want me to perform a song for them called "Think of Me" from Phantom of the Opera. Out of curiosity I ask where another friend, Danny, is since he was not there originally. All of the sudden I am wearing the dress she wears during that song from the 2004 movie. It's then that I realize there are more people in the audience area. I look out to see all of my other friends sitting there waiting. That's when I start to panic. I keep repeating "I can't do it. There's no way I'm going out there." as I'm looking into the mirror of a vanity. I go to leave, and as I move away from the mirror I hear a soft, male voice in my left ear say "I believe in you. You can do it." Shocked, I turn around to ask who said that and I see my friend Danny sitting on the edge of the table in front of the mirror. He is wearing black pants, a white long sleeved shirt and the Phantom mask. Happy to see him, I rush towards him to hug him and he slowly disappears. All that is left behind is a rose with a black ribbon with a note that says "For you, My Angel of Music." Then I wake up. Dr Marcia’s input. In many ways this is a beautiful dream as you have been labeled an "Angel of Music." Some dreams are wish fulfillment and some are actual reality. If this were my dream, I would ask, "Why am I afraid to perform or give my talents a public airing?" I would also ask, "Where do I not feel supported in life?" Are my friends and dear ones masked in their appreciation of my talents? Perhaps you want them to think of you more --and that is why you sang the song, "Think of me." I would encourage you to tell your friends how they can be more supportive of your personal needs and professional talents. Currently, my professional focus is on teaching my graduate students, serving on their dissertation committees, writing a book and giving consultations. What's missing is public workshops and appearances which will be changing in the near future. So stay tuned through this newsletter.
