Once I get it the misconceptions seem so obvious. Until then I'll have been clueless for weeks, months, sometimes years.

When I studied creative writing, we often discussed what house and home symbolized, especially in a short story, where this imagery frequently appears. Just as you point out in dream symbology, it is often a metaphor for Self, or the inner life. Rich material!Launa Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732938187019993335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612471600936839321.post-73457819805111385562010-04-28T20:21:26.190-07:002010-04-28T20:21:26.190-07:00I think a lot about home, and it is one of the thr...I think a lot about home, and it is one of the threads I use in my personal art. In dream symbology, a house is your head or self. Thanks for such a lovely post. It provokes memories and a deep sensitivity.Marla McLean, Atelieristahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12788200495569027489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612471600936839321.post-75947130613139972752010-04-26T17:42:57.800-07:002010-04-26T17:42:57.800-07:00Oh, yes, I too remember the Sears catalog.

There would be an enormous delay--months!--between ordering and receiving. Long enough that I was surprised by what came out of that box...Launa Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03732938187019993335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612471600936839321.post-14245757401510254622010-04-24T07:51:50.231-07:002010-04-24T07:51:50.231-07:00What a wonderful post, Launa.

My mom tended to try to get us all focused on and excited about the next place, but there was still a lot anxiety.<br /><br />We used to order clothing from the Sears catalog (I know, I'm old) and I had a hard time understanding that I wouldn't actually look like the kid modeling the clothing in the picture. In fact, I would refuse anything that was on one of the models for years. I don't think my mom ever got that and it never occurred to me to articulate it. It's important to make sure we understand how our children see things.Teacher Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14606781724784785338noreply@blogger.com
