I am with a young girl about eight years old. I am drinking water from a glass with a small opening. The girl wants some. I take off the top. She sees that the water is mixed with juice that has some pulp. She does not want to drink it.
My friends, family, and cousin, Jill, come to pick me up for my doctor’s appointment. I do not have my phone, but do have my purse. The van they are in is stopped on a busy city street. There is a sailboat on a trailer right in front of it. The sailboat is on the shoulder with no vehicle attached. It was left there. I get in the van in the back seat. The van pulls out into heavy traffic.
I am dropped off at the clinic. I end up working with a Physical Therapist. He is middle aged, mostly bald and pudgy. We are at a pool. I do not have a bathing suit. I take off my top and just have my new (in waking life), black bra on. I leave my pants on and get into the water. The PT has me do an exercise. A young girl of about 10-12 years old walks by and teases me because I do not have a bathing suit. Then the PT is called away. He tells me to swim laps on this section of the pool. It slants up a bit and is fairly shallow. Then the water disappears all together. I get out. I decide to get my top and leave. I see the PT. I tell him the only thing wrong with me is my soft tissue in my knee. I then worry if my friends/family will be there to pick me up. I don’t need a doctor!
I have had three “waiting dreams”. This dream I am to see a doctor and see the PT while I am waiting. I waited for a spa treatment in an earlier dream and that never happened. Then the dream on the same night as this one, I am waiting to have my pap smear and that never happens. I had a colonoscopy not too long ago in waking life. It was close to a two hour wait and I got very frustrated. No one came by to say how long it would take. It triggered my invisibility complex. These three dreams have to do with my body. I think these dreams are a “series”. This dream seems to have a resolution in that I make the decision that I do not need to see a doctor and will no longer wait. I worked this dream a bit with my sister. She thinks it ha to do with me doing so much work on myself: therapy, grief class, reading books, etc. I have done my due diligence and it is time to enjoy the benefits.
I know these dreams have very personal meanings for you, Bonnie, but they also remind me of the stress so many people are feeling now and will be feeling soon about the failing U.S. healthcare systems.
