Circle of Family Life -or- The Johari Window of the Family
Jennie, 47
I am in the kitchen of the house I grew up in and out side the window is a pond. Im talking to my Dad on the telephone and telling him about the great big fish my sons have caught.

The window is often seen as poetic shorthand for our eyes, and as such dreams can be viewed as a "Johari window". Your dream juxtaposes your visual memories, thoughts and feelings as a daughter growing up with those of your children. The dream can then be seen and read as talking about the generational montage of the whole circle of life drama. From a popular music perspective Elton John's "Circle of Life" and the Hollywood dream factory film "On Golden Pond" seem to fit the sentiment.
