My comfortable choices were smothering me. Too many pillows and a bad dream.

I had a dream last night. I don’t dream often but when I do, they’re pretty vivid. People say that you can interpret dreams a lot of ways and that they may be a sign of too much Mexican food, your subconscious speaking to you or even God or the Universe sending a message. 

Well I didn’t have tacos last night so that leaves the last two options. 

Backstory on what’s been going on in my life... I’ve been working to create a new message and .. your not telling a story... your selling and not being authentic.. .. open up.  Share, .. I tried 4 different versions and my coach.. nope. Try again... I was trying to understand... 

I was driving in my car and I could see the road clearly ahead, but I was uncomfortable so I grabbed a large down pillow and put it in front of the steering wheel. 

As I continued to drive down the road I grabbed another large pillow, then a down comforter and placed those in front of my face. I was peering out out from behind the pillows so I could continue to drive, but my vision became more blocked. 

I continued to add pillows and comforters until the entire car became was filled and I had become surrounded by them. There were so many that they covered my face and head and I started to not be able to breath. 

All this time, I’m still driving down a busy street with on coming traffic. As the last pillow covered my faced, smothering me and completely blocking my vision, the last thing I saw was a truck coming straight for me.

I stopped the car in the middle of the traffic and began tearing away at the pillows and comforters from my face, but as soon as one was removed another appeared.

Panicked, I tried to tear them from my face, throwing them in the back seat but there was nowhere for them to go because the car was so full. I kept furiously ripping them away from my face until FINALLY,  I could breath and I see the road ahead of me again… clearly, sunny and safe.

That’s the dream… I bolted awake up from my sleep. 

This was no ordinary dream. I immediately knew what it meant. It scared me… and told me exactly what I need to do. 

This comfortable mask was suffocating me. .
