Every so often I find a useful practice of scrying a Tarot card. The deck I’ve been utilizing the past year is the Sufi Tarot and this morning I drew the Five of Cups.

The card itself depicts a woman slumped over a table, as though sleeping. Two tea cups are on the table and several more smashed on the floor. The backdrop of the card is a dark black.

I studied the card to remember it well, and then closed my eyes. Relaxing I brought the card into my consciousness. Visualizing every aspect of the card, I drew it to my mind’s eye and imagined passing through it.

There in the dreamscape, I saw a dark world. Winds blowing trees in a twilight world of darkness. Tall grass shifting against the wind.

Insight came when my inner guidance told me to contemplate broken dreams. It dawned on me that this is what the card means to me…. broken dreams. The teacups are literally broken and the woman in the card is asleep.

Then I realized that dreams break when we set them on weak targets. When the dream is based on an eternal concept (such as the Divine), then the dream will never die.
