Hey again @schemataobscura ! :) It took a bit longer than I thought, my apologies... Though, I checked our page and it looks like you haven't even been online in around a month so I'm kind of wondering if you quit Hive and you'll even come back to read this? But, I'm going to respond anyways.

Your question was... "how can we build a better future?"

Here are the dreams I had and below that I will type up my interpretation of such.

First dream I was hiking creek David and talked about doing magic mushrooms while hiking.
Later by creek woman warned of bodies then a flood comes and I run to get out.

Next night this was the dream... I Was cliff diving in water somewhere and I think I was with my dad and I think he jumped in too?
Aliens or something came through a crack in window upstairs from the porch.
Then I was in my old room petting Josh (the cat) under a table or cabinet or shelf or something.

I was outside under the porch and was watching and saw a mysterious bird I'm not sure what it was flew down and attacked an animal that looked like a racoon or skunk.
Then shortly later a smaller baby sized skunk I think came out and jumped on the bird and took it down.

Next dream I remember being on a ship and there was a crack in it...
I went in a door by the crack and Cody one of my therapists when I was sick was in there in bed eating.

After that in another dream some people or teenagers/kids were walking through our yard twice with metal detector looking for something of value.
Second time I saw them from up on the porch and they threw rocks at our windows.
David was on phone and I told him and somehow David showed up real quick and my brothers Robin and Jon also showed up and we confronted them.
We got into a physical altercation.

Last dream was eating and then looking to refrigerate and found a fridge in the other room that was weird and didn't work right.

So here's my interpretation.
The first dream about hiking in nature and eating magic mushrooms implies to me that reconnecting with nature and spirituality will be an important part of building a better future, though right afterwards there were bodies and a flash flood which suggests to me that there might be a lot of difficulty and chaos leading up to that better future.

That dream plus the next one involved water and my mother believes that water is associated with "love", so... I think love will also be a critical element of building a new better future.

There were two different dreams that involved a "crack", I feel that is significant when a certain symbol shows up numerous different times in different dreams... The crack to me can symbolize perhaps a doorway into a new direction or an old paradigm shifting and breaking away. In context of your question I think that might mean that in order to create a better future we have to let go of some of the older ideas which are holding us back.

There was also an alien associated with one of the cracks... Perhaps there is some kind of alien element to all this? Maybe we need help from aliens? Though, I've heard it suggested from some that they believe aliens want us to solve these things ourselves so I dunno.

There was the part with the mysterious predator bird and the skunk getting attacked and then the baby skunk fighting back was really intriguing and I'm not really sure what to make of that part... Perhaps it implies that this is going to be a generational thing and that it won't be accomplished in one lifetime and that our children will have to follow up on our efforts.

The final dreams once again had some conflict in them and make me think it's not going to be easy and that there will be fighting involved... Additionally the metal detecting part suggests perhaps that we have to do a bit of searching for value or "treasure" and the last dream with the weird technology made me think that maybe we will use AI or some other kind of new technology help to wake people up or just to help guide us in a better direction in general.

There were some symbols I didn't mention, though I don't want this to be too long! So hopefully that is satisfactory for you if you come back to Hive and read this one day. :)

Thank you for asking a question! The dreams I had were really interesting and your question was a great one! I think I've actually asked very similar questions in the past in regard to my dreams and how we can make a better future so I feel like we're on a similar wavelength there.

Hopefully someday we are able to build a better future and it doesn't keep getting worse like it seems like it is at times! Best wishes to you and I hope you're doing as good as possible! :)
