DREAM: Cleaning Odin's kitchen

The last two weeks, I have taken to doing a prayer as I fall asleep. Not exactly a prayer, but a receptivity. I say the first three steps of the 12 Step program, which basically say, "I realized I couldn't do it alone, came to believe a higher power could help, and decided to turn my life and will over to their care."

That's it. Reciting the litany puts me in a heavy trancey open state as I fall asleep.

DREAM
=======

I was supposed to go on an offsite with the rest of the Odin. I decided to clean the kitchen first. The offsite started at 5:30, in a town three hours away. I started cleaning at 1:30, and was still going at 5:30. It was a huge kitchen which 14 people used daily. (In real life, the Odin has a small kitchen which 30 people use daily.) It hadn't been cleaned in months or years. It had two dishwashers, built way back in, which I discovered only after clearing away the crap in front of them. It could have used four. I steadily worked through the stacks of dishes, props, papers, debris. Washing, piling, throwing away. As soon as I cleaned a counter, people would pile more stuff on it. But near the end, I could see I was rising above the tide. Lisa came in and wedged her suitcases and bags in among the beautiful items on the shelves. She bossed me around a while, then left.

There was a kitchen and a dining room. The kitchen was the messiest, but I cleaned the dining room too while I was at it. This seemed to be where people worked. A guy set up his laptop and spread out his papers, as soon as I had cleared the big table by the window. Kind of a peaceful vibe.

Cleaning the dining room led me to discover a door which led to an amazing huge room, maybe 100 ft x 150 ft. Empty, wood, some windows. I was amazed I hadn't seen this before. Walking through it, I found it led to the Odin's outdoor gift shop on the far end (which in real life they don't have), several stalls of people selling pottery, handkerchiefs, spoons, rocks, shawls.

INTERPRETATION
===============

My 4 goals this Milestone are: Purge (belongings), Body (get in shape), Income (generate some), and Play (write & direct one). I did the play. I'm working on income. Purging (cleaning the kitchen) has begun, and I think Body will lead me to that huge space of potential.
