towers

towers, I have been dreaming of towers lately:

1) a tower with a crowded narrow, winding wooden staircase. Summer (my son) and I struggled through crowds of people so that we could get to the top of the tower and look out. We never made it to the view. We were sitting just below the area where you could see. I think we wanted to see a football game. I was frustrated that each time a seat opened it would disappear before we could get there and see.
2) a radio tower. I just remember waking up and that thinking that I had been trying to stop the transition from a radio tower and that the dream had to do with my stopping speaking untruths.
3) a tower like at a castle where a crazy person is kept. I have to go up the tower to take care of this person. getting up there is a lot of work, lots of obstacles. when i make it up there is nothing for me to do. yes, there is a crazy person in the tower, but she can take care of herself.
4) my brother lives in a high tower of a building in NYC. It is very complicated finding his apartment, complicated stairs and doors and directions. i finally make it up to his loft only to find out that he has to move and we have to take his stuff away.

there have been others, i don't remember them all. then i pulled the tower card at tarot reading. although it was once a common card for me, i haven't pulled it in years.

something must be growing out of ashes
