This is an edited version (for length) of a dream I had last night. I have some ideas about it but am lacking any insight into one big component. I was with my ex, who is an aspiring artist. He was hanging out with a couple other local young artists and I in his home, when he said they needed some nude models "to paint on". He asked everyone but me, and I felt annoyed that he didn't ask me. Even people outside were flocking to audition to be nude models. I rolled my eyes and said that *I* could do it, and my ex kind of looked at me uncomfortably and was like "uh, ok." I knew he hadn't asked because he thought it would be weird, I just had felt even more conspicuous b/c he hadn't. He was writing up instructions/assignments for the artists who were going to paint on us. In a book was a sticky note about the artists' 'assignment' something about earthiness, which i first took to mean mother earth but then realized he was saying 'it should be earthy' (since I am often described as being and liking earthy things). Everyone was going to get undressed. As I walked back, I wondered if I was doing it to prove something to him or to myself about still being able to attract him, but then I realized I was just doing it to have an excuse to be naked in front of everyone. I began to take off my clothes, and the thought that I was mother earth's personification in our little charade was quite pleasing to me. The last image in my dream is of me in front of the mirror, looking at my skin. On it were veins and arteries, visible from underneath my skin. They were radiating out from my chest, blue and red, out from my heart-area. It was incredibly striking. I believe my thought was something like, 'well this is what mother earth looks like.' A lot of this I have interpreted as relating to my coming back from college and seeing my ex after two years, we are different now and I would like to be friends (perhaps close but not lovers.) As for the 'bare exposure', I would kindof automatically interpret that as a desire for intimacy. Painting the body, I would automatically interpret via "skin" and it being the boundary between inner & outer worlds, painting it could be a mask, but could also be said to reveal what is inside (! this makes the veins seem more interesting... instead of someone else painting on like what was going to happen, what was inside was actually revealed). Now, I have pale skin and visible veins around my eyes and on my forearms, so this would be a natural fit. I get lost as to the significance of all this Mother Earth ending though-- (so I don't need help being transparent? Ok, fine, but it also seemed like a more spiritual experience.)

that site was helpful, thanks I don't really know anything about Chakras so it was interesting to see how things did seem to match up.
