poetry and prose

“When you walk this path, you live above your circumstances..” (Young, 28).

Last night, I had what felt like a never ending dream of going up and down an elevator in a casino.

I was trying to get to floor 6.3 and 6.5.. and also an 8.4, but the elevators could move sideways in addition to up and down, and I could not remember within the dream which direction I needed to go.

On top of that, I was trying to escape my mother and stepfather who were searching for me and trying to kidnap me (which they had done in the night before last).

According to “the google”… elevators represent anxiety and happen predominantly to women in their 30s-40s… ding, ding, ding! (Guess who forgot their anxiety meds yesterday!)

“If you dream that the elevator is moving side to sidethen this indicates that you are trying to move a situation but you are unable to change anything at the moment.” (Auntyflo.com)

Woah!!! I have been really focused on wanting to make a lateral transfer in my workplace, but the opportunity is not available yet, and may not be for several months…! Spot on!

“The other meaning of this dream is that it’s time to give yourself a break.”

I definitely could use a break. My job has been exhausting me, although I don’t like to admit it.

And with that, the alarm has sounded to wake up the kids.
