Last night I dreamt I was in my driveway at the home I grew up in. There was a little white dog tied to a very long leash – I am thinking Suzette my poodle that was a runner so she was left out only supervised and on a long leash. I looked back and saw a very large brown gorilla. I felt a sadness come over me – he seemed alone in the world. I watched him and wondered where he would go. He had his back to me. He started walking away and then to the right and I started walking straight so as not to be in his eye sight. He came to water – there is no water in my yard I grew up in that area. It was like a brook that opened to a lake. He went under the water – the water was clear and I could see the green algae and brown mud under it. I suddenly was frightened and started slowly walking toward the door to my house. He looked up and saw me. He started walking toward me. I carefully kept my eyes averted and continued to walk. I walked slow so as not to let him “feel my fear”. He walked a bit faster and I felt my heart beating. I woke up.
I am thinking this means that there is something in my life I view as large and frightening though it probably isn’t something to be that afraid of. I am avoiding whatever the situation is because I am frightened of it. It comes to me because it is really nothing to fear and I must face this and must look it right in the eye. Now only to figure out what it is. Hmmm…
