Eyes riveted on the road in admiration of the majestic mountains. Gray brown giants, shimmer in all their splendor. I hold the wheel in awe of the magnitude and beauty of the moment, rounding the bend, with a grateful heart. The breeze through my window, whispers hope for a peaceful day.
All is well in my world as I breath in angelic grace. My hands gently on the wheel begin to grip, unable to turn it. Sweat beads up as I try to straighten the car and decelerate, cascading over the nearby waterfalls falling midair, tumbling off the road to the very majestic scene, I was just admiring.
My mind is clear with no fear but why? Is this how my life should end? Amongst the jagged rocks, I become? The tires bounce off each boulder and we flip and skid with trepidation. I think “is this is the end of the line for me?” I’m dying as no one makes it out alive on this hi-way. It’s a steep ravine that I ride waiting for my fate to be revealed.
I have no pain, a little stunned as I watch the scene unfold vividly, eyes wide open. I crash hitting bottom of the ravine, still pain free. It’s not my day to die. I crawl out of my totaled car and make my way around the bluff and a couple of my kids find me, not particularly worried, nor am I. Is this the beginning or the end of a fateful day, grateful and blessed by divinity?
Dreams throw me to the wind tarnished and worn.
Deep dives, skinned knees, heart racing, pondering.
My unconscious mind sends warning signs,
while my conscious mind questions.
The fears hide beneath the dark sky, only illuminated in slumber.
What do you want from me?
What are you trying to say? Should I be worried?
Will I crash and burn or is a part of me dying and I don’t want to know?
I sit in the puddle of this feeble mind, lost beyond any reasonable doubt. Waiting is not my strong suit but I’ve no other choice except to wait until the wax wanes and clarity is restored.

This was literally my dream the other night. I have been having vivid dreams and remembering them play by play. I never in all of my life had a dream where I haven’t woken up from a near death experience where I was at risk in anyway. This is mind boggling to me as I have had nightmares of being chased and near killed etc but I always wake up mid stream or the dream ends. I wasn’t scared at all either but now I’m trying to make sense of it.
I am so curious if any of you have had a dream where you have gone through the tragedy and witnessed it first hand without being rescued or woken up from it?
There are many dream therapists that offer insights, especially in Jungian Therapy. Here is an interesting take from Jungian therapists if you are interested. While hearing from professionals offers insight, I firmly believe we are the best interpreters of our dreams and are given messages to pay attention to of things we are working out in our lives. Dreams allow us to do just that and provide insights and meaning.
Unconsciously, car crashes mean there is something that needs to get your attention before you crash and burn or you are driving yourself too hard and need to take heed or you are letting go of an aspect of yourself. It may be that someone in your life is dying.
Well, we all know I have a lot on my plate so there is that and I’ve been slowing down with phase 2 of the remodel behind me but somethings things happen to me like this after big projects, where I can finally let go. It’s as though the body and psyche say, “ok you are out of the fire and can relax but it takes awhile for everything to catch up with the other parts of yourself”.
When I woke up after the crash I called my cousin to see if my aunt had taken her last breath and crossed over and he said “she is tough and holding on”. She passed the next day. My FIL has also been in the hospital and I’ve been working with him a bit as well and It’s sad to watch those you love leave this world fast or slow, even when you know it’s right, I do have some big changes happening that I’m not privy to talk about yet, but will when I can. I am still processing all of this but I’d love to know if you have had similar dreams and what they meant to you if so?
The night before my cat, Ollie, kept me up all night and I was finally having a great dream. Yesterday, I made sure to keep her awake and played with her to assure a goodnight sleep baring any crashes. I’m happy to report, I slept great.
Alrighty, I’m going to do a little meditation before bed and hope for sweet dreams. Have a great night or wonderful day ahead, wherever this finds you on the globe.
Sweet Dreams or a wonderful day ahead,

And this little dickens Ollie says: What’s the problem? Live like me! I have 9 lives after all❣️ Hahahaha

I’m so happy this was just a dream! But truthfully, when I have dreams like that (and I don’t even remember most of my dreams), it’s usually due to anxiety and stress. It’s good that you recognize that and can make the proper adjustments. Hang in there, Cindy, this was a very powerful and informative post, and your poem is so deeply moving!
Oh thanks so much Dawn. Me too. It usually is and premonitions can play a part. Thanks so much for being here and so glad you enjoyed my poem! ❣️
Beautifully crafted. I too have had dreams that seemed significant. Usually mine have me searching for a missing loved one. Thank you for a thought-provoking post
Hi Michael. Thanks so much for being here. Oh that is disconcerting as well! You’re so welcome! ❤️
Quite a vivid dream! I am pleased that the beginning of this post led me to your acknowledgement of this dream. Cindy, peace be with you.
It was Richard and they are coming non stop… not all scary but vivid. Thanks and peace with you always!☮️
Hi Cindy – so fun how you connected the dreams, topic of death and dying, nine lives and your sweet ollie
purrfecctly smooth
and condolences for your aunt

that rob thomas song was upbeat and had a great message
I love that synopsis Yvette! You nailed it the post and covered it all with Ollie and the song included. Oh thanks so much for the condolences of my aunt.
I did like that too. I’d never heard of it before but I loved it.
Thanks so much! 💞
What a nightmare you have had Cindy. Your Ollie is quite a naughty cat. I loved the video and your poem too. Take care dear and have a happy weekend.
I know right Kamal! I think there are gifts and you are soooo right, OLLIE is a dickens. Glad you enjoyed both my friend, thank you always! ❣️
You are always welcome dear Cindy. Lots of love and hugs 💗🤗💗🤗💗

Beautiful post, Cindy! The way you described your dream poetically was so intresting and surreal to read! ♥️
Thank you so much Jahn. I’m delighted to know.. It’s great to see you here! ❣️
It really feels great to be reading your posts again, Cindy! I have a lot of catching up to do in wordpress as I went on an unannounced break recently. You are more than welcome, always! ☺️💕
Oh thanks Jahn. I haven’t seen you lately. I hope it was good!!! I’ll see you soon again and read you!!💗
I have vivid dreams as well, Cindy. In my experience, dreams like this are about a profound change that is coming or is necessary.
Oh thanks for sharing Conny. Interesting and maybe true. I had one last night and now I need to call the person to see if my hunches are right. Thanks for sharing. 💗
An amazing glimpse into dreamland. How frightening, and maybe enlightening. A lovely post, Cindy! 💞
It really has been and shockingly, no fear. Quite wild and wonderful. Thanks Jeff❣️
Wonderful to know. You’re most welcome, Cindy. Always. 💞
💕❤️
You have a beautiful gift for storytelling and I enjoyed reading the poem!
I so much appreciate that.. thank you so much! ❣️
This is beautiful and encompasses what I go through most nights. I have vivid dreams of accidents or being the victim of a homicide of sorts before something bad happens. For example, I had a dream I died in a car crash, and the day after, my pony, Puff had a second bad case of colic where he almost died.
I pray for healing for you. I had to deal with loss recently in October when my dad passed away. It’s never easy
What a vivid dream, Cindy! Thank you for sharing it. My nightmares are usually about coming to my classroom unprepared to teach. I always came well-prepared. I guess I was terrified of what would happen if I didn’t! <3 Wishing you pleasant dreams!
I was so relieved to know it was a dream. I once had a scary dream that I remember vividly to this day. I found the symbolic interpretation useful. But I liked the gestalt approach better. In this approach, everyone and everything in the dream is you (me). And I imagine once awake that part/ person speaking about itself and thus learning something about myself.
Stunning view and stunning thoughts to go with it! ❤️
I definitely felt those first two paragraphs, but I felt a bit of fear from that scenery along with the questions you asked. Looks a bit too rickety for me!
Thanks for reading and your thoughtful comments Susi! It was a doozy of a dream for sure! ❣️
You’re very welcome, Cindy! <3
Amazing post cindy! It’s really q different level experience to read your such a nicely constructed post and admiring how deep you write ☺😉🤗🥂❤
Thank you so my Yaksh! I’m delighted to know you enjoyed it my friend! I’m delighted! ❣️
It’s my pleasure dear Cindy! Your all posts are fabulous✨
Keep sharing😊😉👍
I have had dreams that turned out to be omens. I have huge respect for dreams! I have written about them in great detail, but not as beautifully as you have! Such a wonderful read:-) ❤️🖤🩶
Wow. Just wow.
Thanks my friend!💗
I’m sorry your aunt and FIL aren’t doing well. Hope you are able to relax. I get vivid dreams when im stressed out or when something is on my mind. I also usually dream of the people I miss but lost touch with. It makes me want to reconnect, even though it’s not always possible. Sometimes I dream a weird dream about a loved one and I find out that that loved one is going through tough times.
thank you so much and how wonderful you have such intuition but it can be discon1certing! You take good care too.. Blessings Sadg❣️
