Trust We're OK

This morning I had a dream that I was somewhere familiar, but it was the amusement park version of it.

I went on a train that was supposed to be a regular mode of transportation, but it was a giant, high roller coaster.

I sat in the last seat.

I was way up high, looking at a red and white billboard. I looked down and thought, it's OK. I'm strapped in. I'm secure. This is much bigger and higher than any roller coaster I've been on, but it's still a roller coaster and I've ridden them before. As long as I'm strapped in and secure, it doesn't matter that it's bigger and higher. I'm OK.

The roller coaster started and immediately dove down a steep decline, then sped around a long curve.

It stopped in front of a house I'd been to before, but looked different. I got off here.

I went through an alleyway that was closed, cool and dark. When I came out into the daylight I saw a small spider on my wrist.

I brushed it off, then noticed another spider, a little bigger, and brushed it off. Then turned my wrist where an orange tarantula was latched onto the inside of my wrist.

I grabbed a leg and had to work to pry the body off. I considered panicking, but didn't. I knew it would come off because the other, smaller spiders came off, and this was just a larger version of those.

I managed to get it off without getting bitten or harmed in any way.

I think it means, the challenges we're facing at the moment might look and feel bigger than anything we've been through before, but they're still just a version of the same thing.

Let's not panic, do everything we can to make ourselves safe, and trust we'll be OK.
