The Cocoon

The individual saw their body encased in threads that had two layers of colors woven around it. Their body was suspended within this encasing. At the top and the bottom, above their head and below their feet, all the threads came together in a twirl with a pearl shape sphere. The entire form was shaped something like a candy wrapper that was twisted where the threads all came together. The color of the threads were golden and iridescent. As they looked upon their body, there was another layer between the threads and their body. This layer was green and swirled around them in a wave pattern.

Interpretation

The dreamer is protected at this time inside a cocoon of healing energy. The green represents growth and the swirling motion means it is vibrant and moving. The cocoon means being protected, as there is a need to continue to preserve and persevere. It is not a time for going out and doing great deeds or interaction. It is a time of stasis. In western culture, there is not much value on the concept of inactivity, as it is perceived as not being valuable. However, when we are less visible, all the work is occuring behind the scenes. It is the time of process, insight development, and gathering our resources as they coalesce to reform our beings. The threads are re-weaving at a deep level.

Action

The individual will do well to develop relationships that deepen their connection on an inner level at this time. Individual and a group meditation practice can strengthen this process. Drawing upon the beauty of nature and plants and wildlife, as well as watching a fire in the fireplace, feeling the wind, and sensing the ocean, are important ways to connect to the elements while standing upon the earth. This will help to ground and internalize the energy that is being re-woven. Music of flutes, certain drumming patterns, and singing can also be helpful. Gratitude for loving relationships and the opportunities that are present. The time of chrysalis is a time of development and significant to the developing of wings to fly.
