It was a morning dream as all the good ones seem to be. And it seemed so simple but it keeps unfolding as the day goes on. It was long with maybe five or six vignettes to navigate through. I had to navigate, the dream people seemed to know what they were doing.
There was a scene where I was in a hostel and there was a big family there with all this mountain of gear. The gear was always impinging on me and his other neighbors. And I was trying to make friendly suggestions.
Then a scene where I was outside in a residential area and there was a man and women walking by. The next time I looked the woman was on the ground and the guy had his arm raised like was going to strike her. I tried to move but I was paralyzed and all I could do was watch. But people rushed out from the next house and a party ensued right there with the fighting folks, alperfect.
There were more scenes but let me just give you the last one, it’s a good one. I am walking down a sidewalk and the next thing I know I am laying on the lawn and two matronly ladies are with me. I have my head in one’s lap and the other was holding one of my hands. And they were cooing over me. And supposedly we were having a conversation but they didn’t pay attention to a thing that I said. Someone passes and says, “Oh Vera, I see you found a bachelor!”. Yea.
So, upon a little time and thinking I came up with one main idea and it mirrors my life and where it is going lately. As time goes on I have to start damping down one of my own tendencies, it’s kind of a guy thing, to try and fix everything. In the dream I had to be happy with observing instead of fixing because my help or influence was not wanted. Not only not wanted but really not needed. Life for my dream characters was complete. They really didn’t need help.
Really out of time and focus for now. Have a walk soon.
no fixing loves, Felipé.
Hummmm boss…. you seem to have a tendency to fall over the laps of women who are in the right age for a bachelor… and it happens soooo often that you were caught with a filming crew in one of those occasions!!!!! (I wonder what your Rebecca has to say about this!!!!!!)
Now, no kidding, isn’t it something we all need to learn? Stepping out of the way, abandon this obsession that we are only worthy if we do something… I remember one of the professors at university, when we were about to graduate, saying to us that we should remember that “The most difficult case we would face in our practice was that one when we would have to do nothing”…
“The good news is that there is a Savior, the better news is that it is not us” Loves,

Cris ~ yes, you are on the right track. We have this tendency to act without thinking. To think that we are always the great hope. But as in the dream things seem to work out without us and maybe better without us. I love the one about the guy apparently ready to beat up on the woman and people rushing out of the house with wine and glasses to turn it into some sort of celebration. They all knew exactly what they were doing in their world. I needed to learn to operate in a different way. And I was looking for that quote that there was only one Savior. Well, yes, there is the whole lap thing. And I don’t see any reason at this time to discourage that. It definitely needs further study. Thanks, Felipé.x
Felipe,
I love this dream and your analysis of it. Guys are not the only ones who want to fix things. Sigh. Thanks for sharing this. Gives me a lot to think about . . .
Love and hugs,

Debra ~ sorry to leave you out there. Hehe. Have you ever read Dr Robert Barnes’ book “The Good Doctor is Naked”? He was a very prominent doc here in Seattle a while back and when he retired he took training to become a chaplain. Very insightful. I have a copy or two so don’t buy it, I love writing about my dreams. The material is so fresh and new, you can’t make it up. Hope to see you soon, Felipé.x
