I had a dream last night and it went like this.. I was in a vintage/flea-market type clothing store, huge, full of racks. There were three salesgirls. There were these earrings that they suddenly could not find and thought a male customer took them. They continued to ask me if I would find out if he stole them or not and if I could find the earrings. I agreed even though inside I did not want to. The girls huddled into a fitting room, chatting and suddenly everything started to shake and people were screaming. They yelled to me to go to the front and “pull the handle.” The room was now an airplane and it was going down. Everything was falling down and I saw through the windows that the plane was nose-diving toward the ground. I saw a Los Angeles freeway getting closer and closer as I was trying to reach for the emergency handle. We were edging closer and even clipped a few cars causing them to explode — I could feel the heat from the explosion. I was fighting gravity so hard to get the handle and when I finally did, I pulled it back with all my might. The plane slowed down slightly but we were so close to the ground, we skidded and the freeway turned into one big ocean. The plane, cars, people were all floating and drowning down. Everybody was upset because it was my fault that the plane fell and I didn’t save them in time. They grabbed on to my legs and pulled me down as I was trying to fight them off. In the end, I lost and drowned with them.
My Jungian interpretation: I feel as though things are always “my fault.” I shoulder a lot of other people’s burdens because I feel if I refuse to, I am being unhelpful. The thing is, from doing that, I cause myself to drown.
What do you think?

Goodness!!
Truth is,the earth is a better place because of people like you,because you want to help. The bad…people will fail,only because of themselves,whether you have tried to help,or not. People will also have great fame and prosperity in the same fashion. It is what people put into their lives,not what we put in. This is not saying that we should not attempt to lift them up,as you know me,I am a lift you up kind of guy…but I can neither gaurantee success for them,nor failure.
If you had reached the handle in time,you would not have claimed to save this entire populace,which is your generous grace and is one of the very best things that shines from your soul!!
Keep doing what you do,but don’t accept the blame for failure of others,only of yourself…which I am positive,will never happen!
Love you~b
Ahh, as usual many words of wisdom
thank you. This dream was so very vivid and interesting that it really did hit me to the core. I think it has shined a light on a lot of things and you are so right – i cannot accept the blame for other people’s shortcomings, etc. I’m grateful for your kind spirit!!
Wanna know something crazy about me?
I’m a dreamer, not by choice but I dream every single night and if I wake up earlier than usual around 5-6am I will clearly remember my dreams….and they are always nightmares about people trying to hurt me, kill me, chase me, use me, hit me. Its so weird because I have never been physically abused nor do I have a trama related to that. When I watch scary movies my dreams get bad or if im going through a hard time. I’m over all a healthy/happy person so my attitude is that my nightmares have nothing to with me as a person. Unless they are good dreams and not scary nightmares lol
