The Message

I don’t understand what is going on but I had the same kind of dream again Friday night, that I had the other day. Only this time, the duvet that was on top of me slowly started to wrap around me, tighter and tighter. After a while I managed to get my head out and I saw a man stabbing the duvet.

I woke up in tears, trying to catch my breath…

I think I know what is bothering me and something I read or heard a few years ago came to mind: not making a decision is a decision in itself. I believe I have stuff to do and decisions to make ;)

The dream explained: it’s about how wonderful it feels to not have to do anything. Feeling good about not having to change or take action (duvet). The choking represents emotional suffocation, feeling unable to express myself at all or make my own decisions. Being stabbed with a knife represents pain, consequences, or embarrassment you are experiencing for resisting something in your life that you disagree with.

Warped Mind

I’m thinking a lot lately… All sorts of thoughts enter my brain. At times I wish I could shut it off because some are about stuff that I do not wish to think about. I feel peaceful today tho. I guess something fell of my shoulders when the hospital called about the biopsies. I guess I’m glad I could postpone surgery.

I’ve been reorganising my Moleskine notebook and finally stuck all the design stuff that I wanted to keep in there. I also had a look at job options because I found a cool one online yesterday. I should apply really, the downside is that it’s a 40 hour job. I’ve promised myself to look for 32 hour jobs only.

And I should keep that promise to myself, but then doubts are popping up out of nowhere. I guess cleaning out my stuff is a way to organise these brain effects, make it less warped. I put things where they belong, I throw out stuff I don’t need and detach myself from useless people and things. It’s liberating!

And doubts are just a way to confuse myself about decision I’ve made ages ago. It’s fear in disguise, a trick to stay safe and sound and not take risks. Sometimes the mind is nothing but a complex network of firing neurons, as simple as that. I should try to see it that way instead of making things unnecessarily complicated.

So in order to keep it simple, I do simple stuff. And meanwhile I draw complex blueprints in my head with goals to reach. I try to visualise where I want to be within the next five years. I’ll try and change the things that seem too dificult right now. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s just that I feel paralysed in a way.

But since I’ve got a creative mind, which works overtime mostly, I’m certain that I will find solutions. I always have and I always will. It’s the core ‘me’… And I trust ‘me’ to help me when I need it. Warped mind, bend yourself in different ways so I can see where the blueprint will take me. You can, I know you can!
