Does 'Joni' show you different things when you have the dream, or are you shown the same things each time? My most recent dream about Joni was also at her house, which was beautifully decorated with fabulous objects throughout, which I was telling her I really admired, but I felt very strange when I noticed that the floor was covered in straw. Joni was completely unperturbed by this,although in the dream it certainly bothered me. When I later looked more closely at my dream, I became aware of a person who had been overly flattering me about something I had done and about whom I felt very uncomfortable. The things this person said were over the top and did not sound real. I thought Joni probably has to contend with phony people in her life, whose flattery was insincere. The words Joni quoted in 'If' (about walking with Kings yet not losing the common touch) also seemed important. I combined this with my admiration for Joni's ordinariness when I have met her. My Joni dream worked for me on so many levels, but I came to think that it's okay to have simple flooring even if your walls are covered with artefacts, (which folk may well flatter and be drawn to) and not to let it bother you!
