I had an amazing dream the other night. But like most dreams you can only remember bits and pieces...if your lucky.
I dont recall how it started or how it ended but here's what I do remember....
...i was in a small house with a battered front door...you know the old fashioned kind with a dirty screen and made of wood with a long spring to close it back up when you went in or out. Any way my father was standing by the stove in the kitchen. Not facing me but not quite with his back turned to me either. My dad...mind you was killed years ago and I've missed him so much since then. I always recall his greeting to me...first a hand shake then a hug. He always told me first he was my friend then my dad. Thats why a handshake first then the hug.
Anyway...back to the dream...
..there was a small child just outside the screen door lying there helplessly while a big bear was closing in on him. A grizzly bear i think because he was brown and ferocious looking...matted fur on the front from his last kill and bare teeth with drool flowing from them. His claws were out...glimpses of red still visible on them. And as the bear qdvanced in for the kill i could not understand why my father was not moving to help...or for that matter why he was so detached from the dire situation....as fear welled up inside me i realized it was going to be up to me to save this child....it was going to be me who would have to overcome my fear and act....bravely. So without regard for my safety or life i opened the rusty screen door and grabbed the child in the nick of time...just as the grizzle swung his razor sharp claws at him.
...then the dream changed to a car ride with my aunt...whom is also passed away....
Anyway im driving my aunt through a storm...i mean a terrible storm....funnel clouds all around us...dark gray and black skies prominent....telephone poles fallen. Telephone wires spewed on the ground coming to life with sparks and flames. Debris from trees...branches and and all matter of nature torn up and spread across the highway. Homes with roofs blown away leaving only their foundations visible with mangled up pipes from the plumbing. And all the while my aunt is counting on me to keep driving through this to try and get us to safety....then i woke up...confused.
But then i stared analyzing what i could remember and realized there was a truly deep meaning to all of this.
First when my dad didnt act on behalf of the child i think it meant that he was no longer there for me. To protect me. That it was up to me now to take charge of my life and those around me. That if i needed something or wanted something from this life...it would be up to me to get it or get it done.
My aunts situation means....i think...that she would no longer be there to guide me through life...that it was up to me to steer through lifes stormy days and up to me to guide myself and those i love to safery.
I guess life and dreams are funny that way...
...they dont come straight out and tell you what needs to be done...but if you think about it a little while...you can figure it out....thanks for the symbolic advise i got from my long since gone loved ones...
