dream 11/18/05:

I'm taking a shower and washing a head. The head is like that of a big plastic doll's, but it is also my other head. I'm putting an herbal mixture around its/my hairline and being careful not to get soap in her/my eyes.

Then I set the head down and proceed to wash the hair on my other head--the one on my shoulders. As I do this, I wonder if one of our heads will disappear because people can't have two heads. end

sounds funny while reading this I know, but I was relieved when I woke up and realized I only have one head to worry about.

Well, literally, you only have one head, but there are so many different "you's".

I did think of that. I'm kind of stuck as to what that other head could represent. I know there seemed to be a focus on the eyes. They were staring like a doll's but I worried about injuring them while washing the head.

One thing that resonates is that I need more focus and clarity in my life and seek inspiration.

Now I'll have to ponder more about the head. Why a dolls?

Maybe it has to do with feeling out of control, since a doll's movements are controlled by someone else.

That's as good as an explaination as I can come up with. It's interesting that the "I" head, and not the "other" head, was the one that did the thinking and wondering about the responsibility the I would have over the other me head.

There's an old saying that "two heads are better than one," but in the dream I didn't think so. I didn't want to be part of the other head. So maybe that was a part of me I would like to "wash away."
