Dream/Relationship Connection

I made this to answer a question regarding a dream about a real relationship. They wanted to see if/how the dream connects to the real life relationship.

Dream/Relationship Connection Spread:

-----1-----------2------
-----------5------------
-----3-----------4------

1 & 2) What’s behind the dream?

3 & 4) What’s behind the relationship?

5) What connects the two(dream and relationship)?

You can do the reading as it stands, or add some additional layers by using the following technique:

Mini-qc's and QC

Mini-qc=quintessential card or sum of a card grouping to come up with a corresponding major.

Sample
1+2=total=major(i.e. 2 Pentacles + 3 Cups=5 or the Hierophant)
3+4=total=major(i.e. 6 of Swords + Ace of Wands=7 or the Chariot)
5=major=(i.e. 10 of Pentacles=10 or the Wheel of Fortune)

The way you would read this is to take each as a segment, or mini reading. In the example: cards 1+2=The Hierophant....this signifies the energy in the blend of these two cards...the overall meaning of them together. Then for cards 3+4=The Chariot...which is the energy in the blend of these two cards. For card 5=Wheel of Fortune....this is our connecting card between the 2 halves...it shows the dominant energy which is connecting the dream and the relationship.

Finally, we come to the qc=quintessential card....this is the sum total of all the cards. We connect this a major and this gives us the overall theme of the entire reading.

To link the totals to a major use the following formula:

0 or 22= The Fool
1-21=Direct link to the corresponding major
23 and above reduce....i.e. 23=5 or the Hierophant, 24=6 or the Lovers, etc..

There is a sample reading for this spread posted in my Pay it Forward reading exchange, if you want to see the spread in action. I didn't type up the mini-qc/qc for that reading.

Cool spread indigo! Glad you posted the pay it forward link, a while ago I was trying to create a "Pay it forward Spread" and that went "unpaid" . So maybe this will spark me up again lol

Thank you, Dolphin Dreamer. A "Pay it Forward Spread" sounds very interesting...here's to your spark returning to complete it.

Hi Indigo Rose (or whoever answers this!
I'm wondering, when you do a QC, what numerical value do you give the court cards? I never got that straight, though I seem to remember a GD attrib of Princesses as 10, Kings as 2, Queens as 3, and Princes as 6 - all from QBLH, which I don't use.

Wonderful spread, Indigo Rose, thank you very much!!!
I've translated it into Russian and posted to Russian tarot community in LJ.
I especially like the way you're using QC and visual images (detail correspondences, how the figures on the cards are interacting etc.) in interpretation.
Thanks again!

Hi Sravana!

When I count the courts I typically count

Pages/Princesses: 11
Knights/Princes: 12
Queens: 13
Kings: 14

But Im sure others have a different method.. of which I too am interested..!

Blessings!

Hi Sravana. Sorry I missed this post.
I actually assign the courts a Zero. Others do it differently, as Roewyn showed in her example. Truly I think it works either way; it's just personal choice. For me though, the zero actually makes for some interesting readings...as zero has story to tell too.

Thanks Indigo Rose and Roewyn... Now we have three different versions to play with!

Nothing like variety, eh?

Sravana, who's going to find what works for her!
