Stress Dreams

Here's another blog i wrote while i was away last week...

 

My subconcious’ way of tell me what’s going on

The price I pay for barreling ahead

The grace amidst barreling ahead

The caution.

      Stop

     Slow down

     There is work to be done.

      Some things cannot be ignored.

     No. should not be ignored.

A mentor of mine says that stress dreams aren’t a bad thing. I was so thankful the first time she told me that…cause I’ve always seen them as bad. They are a sign that I am out of control, or that I’m not coping well. And while those things may be true, stress dreams aren’t bad. It’s my subconscious trying to work something out that I haven’t been able to, or haven’t taken time to work out during the day. They are an invitation to stop. To observe. To dig a bit. To notice.

Sidebar:  I’m not convinced they’re a good thing when I wake up in the morning after having a stress dream. I’ve had some crazy ones recently…all somewhat linked to reality, so I can tell what my sub-conscious is working on… 

Regardless of the content – I am thankful for the warning sign…stress dreams are a clear warning that I need to pay attention.   

Here’s to no more stress dreams for a while (I hope).
