flying through snow

two powerful dream images last night. in one i was teaching eric how to fly. he had cut off his long hair.  i opened the window and it was snowing heavily.  i leaned out to take off, but it was very high, i had a moment of doubt, and eric pulled me back inside. in the room i flew around, and showed him that diamond and trogdor could fly too. then we were going to bed, in separate beds in the room. (reminds me a bit of a recent dream about the cabin in california and trying to find a bed that was unoccupied. in that dream i was given a charge to take care of colin.)
   in this other dream, i was in the woods, (beltain?) and i was blessed and given gifts by three goddesses. artemis, aphrodite, and ( eris? ) the gifts were beautiful lengths of fabric, like saris, hand dyed in rich hues. i was trying them on and choosing my favorite. also there was some kind of sale, with many bicycles, i wanted a red one. after the sale a man let me have one. another man had sent flowers and i received love letters as well. as i was sitting reading over the letters, trying to discern who had sent the gifts, i was explaining how happy and blessed i was, but that i was unsure who to thank because my memory was so bad with names that i was not sure who these kind men were. the man i was talking to just got up and walked away, so i think it was him that gave me the bicycle and one of the letters, and i felt very bad that i had offended him when i wanted to thank him. ( i think this dream says a lot about being grateful for all my blessings, which i have been working on, and i have also been reading and meditating on goddess energies. it also says something about my relationship choices with men.  i have had many wonderful relationships with men, but many challenging problems in that department as well. i am always thinking i could find a better relationship when i have struggles with the one i am with. ie., the one that got away. i know that i need to own my share of the problem, and look at what i can do to improve the way i interact with a partner in order to learn how to co-create a healthy relationship. perhaps being more present, having gratitude for gifts, and remembering past lessons is a key this dream was offering me. perhaps this will help me fly.)
