Dream record:
I am gathering somewhere in an enclosed space with other Vital students, some whom I recognize, others I don't. We are celebrating our graduation from the year-long program and we are engaged in a practice of what feels intentional activities. I run into an old friend Heather M, who says she had noticed I was in the class, and we had to quickly establish that social protocol. There is some movement exercise and we each had to demonstrate our "walk." Mine was slow and deliberate. There was some very light but brief physical contact with one, with an arm outstretched to connect with hands brushing against in other.

Commentary:
I was feeling awkward seeing Heather as if I should have known she was in the course. I was also trying to interpret other social interactions and their meaning and consequence. There was a feeling of deliberateness and intention, but some unsure elements to be defined.
Initial interpretation:
Working through an approach for engaging with my fellow Vital program participants. It feels analogous to contact improv, as that's the concept that came up upon waking. Feeling the need to define some of the dynamics/relationship as we move past this learning contest.
Conscious concerns:
One of my intentions earlier in the week was to build eminence in my subject matter (dreamwork). It likely applies to the Vital community as much as it does in my day job, as I now have an offering to share with this group. An opportunity to practice that "slow and deliberate" approach/stance is coming up soon in person. Heather's presence in this class feels like a representation of that kind of contact I cultivated in the past, with whom I've always been on a similar path with.
Key words/symbols:
Space - the place to meet and practice
Vital Graduation - An initiation into the world
Heather M. - A healthcare leader and women's circle leader. Somebody I respect who nurtured my path as an energy healer from about 2002.
The Walk - The approach, the energy and personality one projects
Slow and deliberate - Controlled, calm process conscious co-creation.
Application:
Some key takeaways from the dream are also reflected here, namely "be relaxed and move slow."
