Hi everyone.
I just woke up from a nightmare and got immediately to share this because, well first the dream was quite shocking and gruesome. But second, because i feel it had a special significance for me and for all here specially in these times. Because this is one of those dreams that make you realize that you've been having these types of dreams recently and very often. I realized that i've had about three of these attacker-defense dreams lately.
Quick summary of the dream:
i was walking out of some establishment into a covered parking lot. As i was walking towards my car with my three brothers (2 guys and one girl plus me). We see two guys trying to steal the car. We wait it out and using the keys inside my pocket i set off the alarm of the car, at this they get scared and run away. We wait, knowing they know it's us who own of the car seems like a bad idea... so we wait some more for them to be far away enough to turn the alarm off and try to get in the car to drive away. But, we do it too soon.
They hear the alarm stop, turn around and run at us, they come and start attacking us, but this time it's three of them. i tackle one and we're pretty evenly matched. I push and punch, he pushes and punches. One of my brother takes on another one. And they're pretty evenly matched. My sister decides to get in the car and stay in there.
But the third one decide to get inside and attempt to abuse her. She screams and yells (this was the shocking part, the screams were so real) and i have to give instructions to my second brother to go in and protect her. He grabs some tools and stabs the guy. Fight goes on until i wake up.
The message i got from it (i could be wrong):
The message to me came from two places, the first one seems to be about being strategic in what one considers defensive. Sometimes knowing yourself and your enemy means that your weakness are better not matched against their strength. Even though i thought me and my brothers were all ready to take on the enemy because i personally felt ready, did not meant that at all and we were in a pretty bad situation at the end.
the second place could be all this nonsense in the air about Trump and his inauguration. The PTB seem to truly hate it that he's there and perhaps at some level i perceive the violence and the threat in the air. At a personal level i think that the message was related to understanding my weakness and my strengths and in a turbulent situation at a societal level sometimes it's better to avoid confrontation.
Another message that occurred to me was about the overwhelming enemy. In the dream i felt completely prepared to take on the enemy at hand, when they were approaching i felt confident I (big I) could take on the challenge. But quickly i realized that nope, i can't fight three guys who're hell bent on attacking me. Even if i was in the moral right ground within the context.
Which made me wake up with a realization that goes as follows:
"in the face of an obviously overwhelming enemy, if you're unable to avoid combat, ask for help. Work together as network and the load will be less on each thus easier to overcome".
For now i will try to go back to sleep. Thanks for reading, and if you're feeling just as overwhelmed with the current situation in the air i'd invite you to read hereand share.
Thanks everyone.
