Wow, another treasure trove for deep contemplation! I keep a dream diary although nowadays I confine it to dreams that feature my late husband or my late parents, otherwise I'd spend too much time trying to stay awake enough to write them all down. Shape-shifting of people and locations are a regular feature. We shape shift in waking life as well but we need to do it more consciously. I know what you're saying about transforming energy. It requires a lot of focus and presence. I one read that being able to change the quality of our day was the highest of achievements. In colour therapy olive green represents female leadership, and the fact that it's pale suggests there's a lot of light in it, and therefore it's more powerful. Combined with paddles it suggests to me that in order to navigate the world we live in today we need female leadership!
I also agree that small acts of kindness can make such a big difference. I remember the days when it was normal to say 'Hello" to anyone we passed in the street. Also, yes to merging with and protecting the land. We need to shift from our heads to our bodies, listen to our instincts and lead with our hearts. The notion of AI and robots as substitutes to human or animal contact is very worrying to me. I dread to think of robot carers! They might grab too hard where they shouldn't! As a medium I'm in constant contact with departed loved ones. We all have these abilities once we shed the conditioning we've received. I feel for the generations that have grown up and are growing up with all the technology and social media. Their brains are wired differently to ours. They need help from previous generations to develop problem solving skills that don't involve YouTube.
Ah! You decoded my dream and cracked the mystery: female leadership!
And yes, I have been entertaining similar reflections about previous generations and old-fashioned (as in "non") technology. Engaging with the world without screens...
In the last couple of months I’ve started working intentionally with my dreams - by setting an intention before I go to sleep, as if it’s like a shamanic journey. It’s been really insightful to then interpret random snippets in light of the intention. Its an experiment in harnessing our dream power rather than leaving it open - a bit like we’re always dreaming the world into being whether we make it conscious or it happens subconsciously is up to us.
That is an excellent practice! I often (but not always) set intentions for dreams as well. I really value both types of dreams: spontaneous and in response to a conscious intention or request!
I don't feel able to do anything much about AI, chatbots, or robot babies, but I can show a different way in the world, a path through the forest, and a swim in the lake of dreaming. That's where I'll be putting my energy, for sure.

And so will I!
And we Elders of our Communities can enjoy keeping those pathways open, on land, under water and in the air! : - )
