> I'm dreaming lately. I think it was a sad dream.
It feels sad with a traumatic back drop. To me.
> I am sympathetic to Obama.
> Though, using him for my own
purposes here, in the dream he's someone who has tried to do the right
thing, but it's put him in danger.Hmmm. What kind of danger? Vulnerable. A vulnerable president. That's a painful thought in itself.
> The gurney reminds me of a hospital visit.
Are those two related in any way? (I'm just thinking. I don't expect an answer.)
> Being vulnerable, but wanting protection, feeling helpless like an infant,
wrapping myself up, feeling desperate, but passed off.
> I suppose it's a loaded dream.
> I either need therapy or to just wall it all off to attend to the perfunctory
responsibilities of life.Imho, just about anyone needs therapy. It's awful work, though, imo, w/o guarantee. Then again, it was a dream and that makes it infinitely plastic. There is also no shame in walling things off.
People do it all the time. I feel it's very positive that you were not alone, and in fact w/very good company (besides your husband). I mean, if a super, non-drepressed, Nobel prize winning president who also happens to be the very first of African American heritage is
feeling a bit licked, well....
