last night I had a dream about the 4 Elements.
It wasn't immediately obvious that this was what it was, but after enough sleuthing and matching up clues, it was how I determined that this was the relevant message for me.
there were 4 phases to the dream.
1) I was trying to cross from one side to another side, but there was like a chess-like grid across the ground. Some zones were hotter than others, and there were also opposing groups, much like on a chess board. (earth).
2) when I made it to the other side, I saw these penguins launching themselves across frozen ice, and sort of skiing on their bellies. They had to watch out for sharp protrusions and rocks though (water).
3) after I had fun watching the penguins, I sat down next to a shaman lady, and we had a conversation about the Earth in the first phase of the dream, and I showed her my feet which had been scorched. She said we all had techniques of being able to navigate those things (earth/experience) without getting harmed. She sort of represented air/communication.
4) I realised I needed to be moving, and I got up and looked around the corner, and thought that I had missed the bus. But there seemed to be a group of people from the first scene also waiting. The bus represents translocation, or movement from one environment to another. In other words, a transformation of the conditions in which the mind finds itself working in. A more tenuous link - but that of fire/transformation.

it wasn't obvious that this dream was pointing to the 4 elements. I had two clues which clicked. One, I had a strong impulse to start watching the cartoon series Avatar: the Last Airbender last night. I didn't get a chance to, but that series is all about the four elements.
The other clue, well, I guess it wasn't a clue as such, but rather when I sat down sincerely and tried analyzing the dream, it was part 2, the part to do with water which stuck most in my mind. Most notably that it was represented as frozen water, rather than liquid water, and that the fact of solidity created the obstacles that the penguins had to face because they could cause themselves harm sliding over rocks or sharp things. That's when it clicked that I could see the 4 phases as representing the 4 elements.
why I should be turning my attention/interest to the 4 elements at this stage, I don't know. But hey, that's the nature of guidance/faith for ya. It's trusting in the benevolence of these prompts, and being open enough to explore a new area of consciousness.
