Made by Neanderthals – but what were they for? Etienne Fabre/SSAC

Dream archeology?

Many children around in this house. I suggest something as a solution for a conflict. Feeling full of love. Blurry recall.
---
Inside a cave part of a mountain. I'm looking out through one of the many openings level with he ground outside. I se a line of cars, and time and again this young guy on a motorbike riding behind them. It seems they are chasing someone/ each other, or just being hyperactive, riding around with no specific goal in mind, going in circles.
Then inside the cave, a high dome, with a group of younger men. We are fighting back some creatures, like small dogs, but sometimes it is hard to discern, if they are rocks or dogs. It is like rocks coming alive.
We are retreating onto a knoll inside the cave, which is surrounded by a circle of standing stones maybe 1 meter high, like a Stonehenge. I think we made a mistake, it isn't easier to defend ourselves here.


Incubation: I thought of Da-Fu Mu, but also wished for a dream going into my challenging emotions around love. Muddling up, or did the dream reply creatively? I think the latter :)

I followed Jean's suggestion to find out “How May I Assist?” (in creating peace). This dream seems to point again to how the personal (inner conflicts) is the political - or part of collective consciousness. So assisting by "being the peace I want to see in the world".

Traces of meditating golden love light in first dream. Sleeping after night shift my renters had a children's birthday, they sounded into my dreams, as it seems :)
Scene may also relate to working on an inner conflict I mention later.

The cave: Feels like a different point of view, where the activity out there is not primary, but what goes on inside the cave appears to be the deeper, inner unconscious conflict, source of what happens out there.

Man has left his traces, building a sacred site from the substance of the earth, while it is creatures of the earth he is also fighting, afraid of, wanting to control (I always say he, because in the dream we are all male. Maybe it is a patriarchal thing).

I'm also reminded of a conflict going on inside of me in the last days (details for my eyes only:) ), which I understand now, from inside the cave, as love vs fear, and the need to control. It is like the dream points me to ways of breaking out of destructive, hyperactive circles of thoughts and emotions. I still have to understand deeper.
What do you think?


edit:
Wow, while searching for a fitting picture. I found this article:
https://www.newscientist.com/article/2090183-neanderthals-built-mystery-underground-circles-175000-years-ago/

I never thought there really were stone circles (stonehenges...) in caves, and now they are THAT old like 175,000 years!

Article gives me a feeling like this dream is about natural flow vs controlling nature/ love. And that this is a very old topic...
