I'm usually confident enough to step up but that's as much about my obstinence and perseverance as it is about confidence. The dream could have had something to do with my phobia of scorpions This was really a short and simple dream by my usual standards. There was probably some symbolism there. I killed the scorpion yet still couldn't save the kitten... that was the whole dream.
Usually my dreams are epic... cinematic.
If I could hold on to details long enough to write them down I'd probably have a couple of novels or screenplays under my belt lol.
