what would Freud say?

I had the strangest dream last night.

We were driving through a French village and that we passed by a girl taking a stained glass window out of the back of a car… when she stepped back into some gravel and was completely swallowed up in it. Vanished. And I didn’t know what to do, because I knew that I had no way of telling her family in the car what had happened. So I did nothing. Then in the dream after we’d driven a while we drove back past the same spot and her family was looking for her, but in the wrong places and I knew I had to stop and try to explain it to them, but I also knew that I had waited to long and she’d have certainly never survived.

The image of that girl disappearing into the gravel has stuck with me all day. So has that feeling of helplessness that went with it.

    Skim reading can be dangerous. I missed the part that said this was a dream. For a moment, I couldn’t believe you did nothing….how unlike you. Then a reread and saw it was a dream. Thank gosh. I must be more diligent a reader. Its like when they say someone’s name in the beginning of an article, then repeat their last name several thousand words later. I spend five minutes reading backwards to see just who this person was, having not memorized them the first time it appeared. For example, I keep reading backward to see who this Kaitlyn you keep mentioning is.
