I lay down on the ground in a small Tippi like tent. There is a man with me. I do not know him but his presence is somewhat comforting or assuring. He is grounding up what I regard in the dream as "sacred herbs" in a mortar and pestle. He grabs me by the back of my head and pours the ground herbs all over my face.... they feel like dirt. My face is covered now and the herbs enter into my nostrils but I can breathe fine and I am not afraid. Its the sensation of breathing better than I ever have in my life.... then I wake up. Into the real world
