Breathing Inside The Wave

I had another weird dream this morning.


I walked down to a stream that was still.

I stepped into the stream and it wasn’t still at all – it was a rapid.

The current took me with it before I could turn around and step out.

I turned my body around to look at where I wanted to be, back on land, and someone yelled out to watch where I was going.

I turned around and saw I was headed straight for a wall of jagged rocks.

I hit them but was able to maneuver away from them and wasn’t badly hurt.

I realized I couldn’t waste time trying to get back where I came from. I had to be present in the moment and go where the current was taking me. When I got out safely, I could figure out how to get back.

Then a huge wave formed. It was a wall of water so smooth it looked like an enormous mirror right in front of me.

I prepared to be thrown under by the force of the wave. I took a deep breath, but the wave was still standing in front of me. I let the breath go and took another deep breath.

The wave formed around me like a barrel.

I kept expecting it to crash onto me but it didn’t. It rolled around with me inside it. So I breathed inside the wave.

That’s all I remember.

I can’t make it out. If you have any ideas what it means, please let me know.

And share your dreams too. Let’s figure them out together!
