Hi Hally,
I too read your dream and the others responses yesterday, and like them I feel this is obviously meant to strengthen your connection with your teacher whether she conciously was aware of it or not. I am happy for you because I know how it feels. I had a similar dream several months ago called 5 minute cllmax to orgasm.. I cannot find it now in the archives but in it I met a woman who was actualy unknown to me in waking life yet felt so familiar...even moreso than my own family...She commenced a chant and various intonations that opened my chakras...as she did this I experienced in the dream a letting go of many experiences that I was holding on to in my heart as well as a definite expansion. After I awoke I felt a closeness to this unknown woman and she appeared in my dreams at least once a month until I met her 2 months ago...The whole experience allowed me to open up to her very easily and we started a relationship with a very deep bond already in place. Several scenes of dreams I have had since the first have been played out already in our short relationship and there is a constant feeling of deja vu. So I am well pleased that you had this experience.
