Folks...any thoughts on what a tightrope might symbolise...sounds an obvious one I know...but sometimes someone comes up with an angle I don't consider which is helpful...also, does anyone know how you actually come down off a tightrope if you don't get to the end?
Thanks

Hello charlie Haven't been here in a while, and here is hoping you are well. Not sure what your dream was, sounds interesting as tightrope walkers must be!
Tightropes are meant to be traversed by the capable!
When I think of someone walking a tightrope I think of someone skilled brave and full of grace.
It is a rare person who steps out on such dangerous heights, not to look down or test God, but get to the other side with everything they have learned and know with a aplomb (confidence and assurance).

Hi Charlie,
I remember reading your dream, but something I also thought about was that tightrope walkers don't look down, but forward to their goal.
Try this experiment.
Fill a cup nearly to the top with water. Walk from point A to B while looking at the cup in order for it not to spill.
Then do the same thing looking forward instead of down.
Peace,
Piano

HI Piano...tried it ((either way it didn't spill)) but I take your point...
I think in the dream the looking down was not a problem in that I didn't lose balance (strangely!) but I was surprised...it was more to do I think with negotiating a transition of perspective...sometimes looking down on something we see things in a different way...we lose sight of the little details which may have beocme overly consuming and see the whole picture...it takes skill and practise to be able to do this IRL (well for me it does anyways) so maybe there's the connection...
