Dandelion clock

A dandelion clock in a dream is the dream's image of many futures held together briefly by air, waiting for the breath that scatters them. Each seed will land somewhere different; none of them stay with the parent. The dream brings the clock when something in your life — a body of work being released, a child leaving home, a confession about to be made public — is at the moment when one shape is about to become many. A dandelion clock blown out on purpose is the dream affirming that the scattering is being chosen. A dandelion clock knocked apart by accident before it was ready is the dream noting that the dispersal happened before the seeds had finished forming, and most of them will not take.
