[continued]

A frequent occurrence in these dreams is something or someone failing to do quite what is expected or required: and the 'what' usually feels like the right sort of thing, e.g. passing things up behind altars*, or floating gently to Earth**, which I fail to do properly – not failing altogether, but in part.

I do take this as a warning against too great a compromise – or perhaps against compromise with the wrong factors. Clearly body and soul need (at least for the time being) to be kept together; probably they need to be nurtured, or at least developed, in the proper way; I do not need to be indulged with luxuries. The distinction is not always easy to draw; so one should not attempt to draw it, being instead moved by that interrelation of events of which one is part, guided by these messages and by the feel of options. So it is in this context that our decisions not to stay in the re-run of interviews for the […] Trust, and to give up W's 'client' job, while financially a potential worry, seem and feel the right decisions: time is more important than money once the basics are cared*** for, and those are cared*** for as they arise.

My tendency to compromise wrongly – with the wrong factors – is a great trouble, one of the chief skills which I have to unlearn.
