Short Nightmare: Driving Backwards, Away From An Attack

(Tuesday, July 18, 2023) new moon Leo / tarot Judgement

I am the passenger in a car being driven by a man up a huge, steep black hill that is the entrance to a very long bridge. The elevation is so abrupt I cannot yet see the overpass section of the bridge. The dream includes no vision of the side of the road. I see the lane of the road and the interior of the car. No land, no clouds. The open sky is a strong presence.

As we near the top of the precipice, another vehicle appears directly in front of us, driving in the wrong lane. I can see two people through their front windshield, passenger and driver. They are androgynous, completely unconcerned about hitting us. Malicious, smiling. They keep heading toward us, front bumper to front bumper. My skilled motorist immediately begins to drive in reverse, down the slope at full speed. He is able to stay straight, does not swerve or crash, which I find unbelievable. I am terrified and I wake up. My heart is pounding with fear.

Day notes:

This weekend my mother (88 years old) fainted outdoors and had very low blood pressure. She did not go to the doctor. Yesterday and today she has had very high blood pressure. My Dad and all of my siblings want her to go to the ER, but she refuses. It was such a stressful family discussion last night that I could not sleep. My sister Jo and I have to settle with the fact that our suggestions about what our parents may need are not considered. Jo describes our sister Jamie and brother Kurt as codependents and I agree. They are in charge, but often make choices that Jo and I find extremely frustrating.

My bank account is dwindling pretty seriously (anxiety!) but my unemployment payment should arrive by Friday. Hopefully I get a payment each week until the end of January. Unemployment is more income than social security would be right now. Thank god.

After this dream I fell back to sleep and woke up with Gordon Lightfoot’s song “Carefree Highway” in my head:

Carefree highway
Let me slip away on you
Carefree highway
You’ve seen the better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you
Let me slip away on you

Another Dream About Work

(Monday, July 10, 2023) tarot eight of pentacles (work!)

I am inside of a large structure that needs cleaning and painting. The other workers are busy so I am caring for, sprucing, the interior environment. It’s a lot of work. The space is very old and has been neglected. I feel sad, overwhelmed, but the rooms I have already finished are lovely and the workers appreciate them.

I have two rooms left to go. They are large. One might be a kitchen. When I inspect a room next to the kitchen I see that the outside doors have deep scratches near the base. A dog trying to get in?

A former coworker (Tonya) comes to see me to thank me for an office chair. She asks how much she owes me for it and I tell her our employer supplied the funds. Then I notice a thin drape covering a door and look inside. It’s a narrow closet space attached to one of the rooms I need to work on. I see my former coworker John joking with one of his friends.
