It has been quite a while since I last posted on here but thought I'd share a recent twist to the out of control dreams I've been having. Lately I've been the passenger and not the driver. Like the questions you brought up HowToBe about your dream, I also wonder if being the passenger has to do with an over reliance on others, and a surrounding mistrust in the decisions I'm letting them make for me.
In the first dream, which was more than a few weeks ago I believe, I was in the passenger's seat of the car and for some reason the driver let go of the steering wheel. I panicked and grabbed the wheel trying to drive while reaching over from the passenger's seat. I remember it being difficult to maneuver the car at that angle. The dream is a bit blurry now but eventually it was as if we were speeding abruptly down a hill, like on a roller coaster. In the other, which was more recent, my boyfriend was driving the car. It was as if we both knew the breaks were not working correctly and so he had to maneuver the car in a way that we wouldn't crash, as from what I remember, we were going down a hill and taking a turn and the car was going to naturally pick up speed. I also remember, and this is not fun to write but will include anyway, slightly hitting my boyfriend on the head. It wasn't hard and he had this goofy stunned look after I did it. It seems like I felt guilty after it happened.
From what I read in my journal a few years ago, I had out of control driving dreams even then. I wonder if a reason for recurring dreams is that its message hasn't yet been worked out and integrated and until it has, will keep playing out in dreams?
Also, and this is months overdue but thanks Puzzle for your encouragement and info about alternatives to coffee. I like xylitol and look forward to finally trying coconut oil and ghee in black tea. I admit I have since relapsed on coffee. It is a tough one for me to completely get rid of. I have this thought, and it's a bit persistent that a little coffee here and there won't hurt. I think they call that bargaining heh?
