I and a bunch of people are going to a party. We have to cross a big field and we’re running and laughing as we make towards the trees on the other side. There are probably about 15 of us, boys and girls. The full moon above us is extremely bright and i can see all of our shadows so it seems like there’s a lot more people. I look at the moon and see the optical illusion of many moons. Like when you stare at a bare light bulb and then look away, the imprint of the light bulb is still there. So everywhere i look i see big round silver moons all over the sky and on the ground. Something happens that makes us all turn around and head back to the house where we came from and as we’re running home we all stop in wonder at a moon illusion in the sky. It’s a castle and an entire walled city. It looks like it’s made out of fog and sparkles with the reflection of moon light. I want to see if i can get inside the moonlight city but everybody else keeps running back to the house and i follow.
At the house there’s some kind of party happening. I’m in the kitchen where there’s a man drying dishes and a woman washing dishes. The sink is completely full of water. I can hear the raucous noise coming from the other room but i really want to go back and see the moon castle. To avoid going through the crowd of people i push out the kitchen window over the sink and go out of the house that way. Right outside the window is a BIG sink. A water trough or industrial sized sink, i guess. It’s completely full too and i dump it over so all the water spills on the ground. It’s where the water from the inside sink drains out so i’m thinking it’s a good thing that i’ve emptied it.
I begin walking up a garden path. I come to a turn and there’s a very large turtle – a couple of feet across – zipping back and forth across my path. It’s really fast, like a hazard in a Super Mario game. I’m thinking that since it’s only a turtle it can’t hurt me so maybe i could just jump over it. Just as i’m thinking that though, i see that right at the turn in the path is a rhododendron type bush low to the ground. Hiding underneath, barely visible, it’s a crocodile. If i jump over the turtle it will put me right in front of the crocodile and i’m perplexed. Saved by Strawberry Fields.

The emptying of the water trough immediately brings to mind Lao Tzu. "Clay is molded to make a vessel, but the utility of the vessel lies in the space where there is nothing. Thus, taking advantage of what is, we recognize the utility of what is not." The very fast tortoise is a symbol i don't understand. Maybe it represents the unbelievable. Like the moon castle. Just because something seemingly defies reality doesn't mean it can't be real? Crocodile in the bushes = doubts? Thinking about this dream, it's like the tarot card brought to life. Very good feeling dream.
