It’s amazing how real life echoes dreams.
For example, when I write down a dream I just had, I usually have no idea what it means. In the middle of the night, I want to sleep, not recall the plot and details. I mumble, “This is absurd, nonsense.”
Yet when I look at my messy notes during the day, I’m amazed: “Wow! The subconscious is pointing again to what matters to me.” Now I’m glad I didn’t agree in the night that the dream was stupid, empty, or worthless.
But we live just like that—getting our lives only after the fact!
It’s not about routine, but about turning points and defining moments. No matter how much we think, or how carefully we weigh pros and cons, the fog of uncertainty keeps us from predicting the future.
While we’re in it, we do what we cannot help but do. Just like in a dream, we don’t question the unfolding story. Only sometimes do we suddenly snap awake: “What was that just now? Why did I do that?”
Hidden truths in those breaks unfold over years — when the passions have settled, and we can look at everything without resentment or ecstasy. It’s easier to notice a pattern if a therapist helps.
Takeaway: Even if we don’t understand it, meaning still moves us.
Yours sincerely,
