Well, I dreamt this on Sunday night after reading your focus misser pigget. It was the first time in ages that I'd actually been able to recall a vivd dream so easily in the morning! Tried to do it again last night but back to the same pattern, can't remember anything at all. So, I'm going to post this one and see if it resonates with you.
I was watching a man sculpt a beautiful figurine. Can't remember what it was but it was an animal of some sort. Maybe a bird? I was so impressed that I decided to do one myself. I remember thinking that this would be a good way of earning money, of making a living for myself. I worked very quickly with my hands, sculpting away, and with little effort and almost as if by magic, a horse appeared, perfect, dark. A few people were watching (family?) and were amazed but as I watched the horse began to sink out of shape and I realised I'd left out the wire armarture thingy and all the stuff that goes inside that allows models to keep their shape. I realised I didn't know what the craftsman had used. I was trying to remember what I'd seen in his studio and got a flash of a large bird he was making using a foam base and realised that there was actually very little clay involved, just a thin shell, everything else inside was a just a cheap base to work on. I was trying to fathom out where he had got his materials from and I was worried because I was suddenly unsure if I could do as good a job as he had. Then I saw where he was getting his images to work from, a huge television, with a picture of birds on the screen, beautiful little birds, and I realised that you could get all the subjects you wanted just by searching for them on that screen.
Then I was in a house watching a woman talk on the phone. She was talking to the sculptor. He was phoning to tell her that the item would be there by Fed Ex at a precise time, she was so happy, joyful really, at the news and I was watching this right next to her in her room, a modern small house and all the time I was thinking crikey, that 's a lot of people skills you need for this, you have to do so much talking. I heard him tell her that if she wanted to discuss her figurine she could just ring him. There were other things I can't remember. There was someone, a child, (could have been my own son) tryng to help me find things so I could sculpt animal figurines myself.
There was a range of emotions in the dream. From admiration at the beauty of the skilled work, of the animals, through hope, happiness, disappointment, feeling of panic at not being able to do the same thing to such a high standard, of not being able to find the right equipment or of knowing the full secrets of the trade although during the dream I felt I'd been shown almost everything in order to be able to sculpt except where to find the materials that went inside the figurine.
hope you can find something in this that might help you misser piggit.
