Emma’s on a busy space station when an old friend hands her a letter written to everyone on board. She doesn’t want to read it. Instead, she sits in space and watches someone paint their family on a rock wall in thick, wet, orange paint.

So what’s going on? In this new listener question, we look at old friends as messengers, why you’re allowed to leave an old story untold, and what wet paint says about a family story that isn’t finished yet. I’ll also share two shamanic ways to work with a dream like this, including how to step back into it.

Pull up a chair for big questions, strong tea and definitely some chocolate. And if you hear panting, it’s only my dog Billy, who’s got a few choice words for the possums.

Got a dream or question that won’t leave you alone? Send it in, preferably as audio. Record it on your phone and drop it in here, no Dropbox account needed: https://www.dropbox.com/request/nlnw6hfzaxpvquex4wzl Or send me an audio message on Facebook Messenger. It might be next on the tearoom trolley.
