Dear Journal:
      In   our   group    meditations,    we   frequently   have
impressions  of   a   Maypole,   and  I  think  this  may  be
related  to  the  "Sundance"  theme.  It seems to be such a
natural  occurrence  for  us. At  times,  more than one of
us   will   have   the   same   experience;   sometimes  the
symbolism varies somewhat  according to our individual
frames of reference.  The Maypole,  Tree of Life, Living
Waters,  or  whatever  we  choose  to  call  it  has  been a
common  form  of  symbolism in our group meditations.
We have  seen  the  Maypole with streamers (ribbons) in
different  colors  leading  to  each  member of the group.
The colors seem  to  indicate what is occurring within an
individual. Or we may  see  the Maypole with streams of
light touching each member.  At times, the Maypole will
not  be  there,  but  instead  light  will  be seen encircling
each   member,   joining  us  in  a  larger  circle  of  light.
At   other   times   there   may   be   a  fountain  of  water,
overflowing  and  shimmering like hundreds of sparkling
diamonds.  These  droplets  then  touch  each of us in the
group.  These experiences seem to indicate a unification
of consciousness,  all  members seeking  and sharing the
same Ideal.

Dear Journal:
     One day,  three  years ago, we received a prank phone
call.  The boy who called us  said that we had just missed
the chance to  win $100  because  we didn't say, "Ask me
about WNOR,"  when we answered the phone. Of course,
we  were  disappointed;  but  we learned that it was just a
prank  call.  That  night,  however,  I  dreamed  that  there
was such  a contest and that we did win.  The next day we
listened   to   WNOR.   It  was  true;  there  really  was  a
contest to win $100. All we had to do was to send in our
name  and phone number.  That  night  I  dreamed that we
won not $100, but $1000.  Well,  that couldn't be right, I
thought. They weren't even offering $1000.  A couple of
nights later,  Jill  (my sister)  also  had  a  dream  that we
won, and so did Liz (my other sister).  Every so often we
would  dream  that  we  won.   After  three  weeks  or  so,
