Hi everyone! I've written in the past that every once in a while, maybe twice a year for the past 20 years or so, I've had a variation of a dream in which I'm driving and lose control of the car. Sometimes I feel like I've been drinking, sometimes I don't have my glasses on and can't see, sometimes I'm in the back seat of the car and can't reach the brakes or the wheel. It is always terrifying I've always taken these dreams as a sign that something in my life is making me feel out of control and I remedy it. The dream isn't repeated until I'm edging out of control again.
For the past month I have almost nightly some variation of the out of control dream but I am not afraid and don't even try to turn the wheel but know that the vehicle will stop and I just hope it doesn't hit anything in the meantime. It never does. One night I was not in the vehicle itself, but saw a huge tour bus almost hit another as the bus spun out of control on a city street. When the bus stopped, all of us on the street applauded the driver's skill in avoiding what could have been a nasty accident.
Now, I did take on some new work which I can understand makes me feel that life is a little more complicated and stressed than usual, but the opportunity couldn't be missed. I can see in the dream that I am balancing anxiety about how this could get out of control with a belief that all will be well even though this time has the potential to be a little scary. I would have thought that acknowledging that would stop the dreams, but it hasn't. What am I missing? I am getting tired of this! <img src="/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />
I am eager to hear what you think! Thanks friends!
