The Dream Repeats

The Dream Repeats Since I was a small child, the dream repeats, Working, running, always trying to get somewhere, do something, see someone. The situation always different and yet the theme always the same..FRUSTRATION! And why, I asked my friendly therapist, Am I always in such a frantic state? Why can't I dream of birds or handsome men? His reply carefully crafted and noncommittal... Low self esteem, trying to find some.. or, Trying to assuage some feelings of guilt... or, Some unresolved issue with my mother.. or, ......to much spicy food before bed... ~~~~~~ LOL.~~~~ Barbara Gorelick The Dream of Self

I have similar dreams sometimes, fellow LNC. Perhaps they are just reflections of unresolved issues in our lives. However, I'm not ruling out the spicy food! Very funny ending, dear friend. Wishing you well in this great contest. Constance picked a terrific topic. My contest has stalled with 30 entries. You know how that feels, don't you? Love, Carolyn
