Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
The dark man in women’s dreams appears when an initiation - a psychic change from one level of knowing and behavior to another more mature or more energetic level of knowledge and action - is imminent. This dream occurs to the as-yet-to-be-initiated, as well as to those who are veterans of several rites of passage, for there is always more initiation. No matter how old a woman becomes, no matter how many years pass, she has yet more ages, stages, and more `first times` awaiting her. That is what initiation is all about: it creates an archway which one prepares to pass through to a new manner of knowing and being.

Unclose your mind. You are not a prisoner. You are a bird in fight, searching the skies for dreams.
