Mysterious dream

Yesterday I prayed to the god of plagiarism ~ apologizing, and then asking for a few mysteries to be revealed. . . now my sub-conscious is playing with me! [lol~big smile]

Last night I was star-gazing with [One of you], online. We were looking at the Hubble thumb-nails together. You kept pointing out "faces" in the nebulas and novas.
I'd heard some where that the human brain is hard-wired to "see" faces in the natural world and that it effects our modern design sensibilities... Think of a grounded electrical plug or outlet. I mentioned this to you...

Then I got to thinking about those experiences for me.
I saw faces all over the South-west, when I lived there, [rock-gargoyles, looking over canyon walls kinda creeped me out! Hehehee!]... I've deliberately drawn faces into the rock, tree and cloud scenes of my more fanciful art works... and I have greatly enjoyed the works of other artists who've toyed with this notion as well. I remember studying the work of a 'local [Nebraska] artist' (A Photographer) while in the Lincoln Airport. I lined myself up with a photo of a tree, more specifically a tree trunk's bark. I was admiring the rhythm, flow, and rough textures of the tree, as captured by the artistic eye of the photographer, when it became [SURPRISE!] clear to me that I was actually looking at a perfectly camouflaged owl roosting in that tree! Cool Beans! Still makes me smile to this day, remembering how I felt, at that moment of discovery!

And so this mystery dream 'almost' makes sense to me ... it was the last one before waking up this morning. I was looking at an old, ancestral photograph. Sepia toned, glossy, depicting a man and a woman. They were standing outside a low dewelling ~ couldn't tell if it was framed, a sod house, or a dug out. My waking mind doesn't recognize their images as relatives. However, in the dream they were 'grand-parents' from down the pedigree line. I was archiving this photo into a book and as I placed it in the book, the light shifted and another image became clear in the photo. I was intrigued and curious so I picked up the photograph and as I did ~ I shifted it back and forth in the light and the photograph took on a modern hologram quality, with every tilt more images of people came into view within the picture. I got the sense that we were all related and that these individuals and sets of individuals appearing now, were the children and the direct descendants, of the 2 who's image I originally saw on the surface of the film. .... trippy, huh?

Wish I could find THAT photograph! LOL!
Cheerios 2U!
