For several weeks I've had the same dream. I'm still 'in control', I can make decisions to change what happens as I did once, but I haven't wanted to since.
I'm driving down a long stretch of road in my car, one I frequent because it takes me from my house into town. There are three bridges over a lake on this road and on the second one, I swerve the car across the road and bring it back around to drive it off the bridge- even though it has the concrete and metal rails. The first time it startled me. I have a two year old and I looked back in panic to see if she was in the car seat as the car plummeted towards the water- she wasn't there and I woke up as soon as I realized it with relief. Even so, the next time I drove across that bridge, I tensed, determined not to do it even though I knew she wasn't in the car. The next time the dream happened I just relaxed. I already knew she wouldn't be there and I just let it happen over and over again. I remember the car flying towards the water, hitting it and sinking slowly to the bottom and even though I was trapped in the car, most likely about to drown- I felt a freedom and peace that I haven't felt in years. Now when I go over that bridge, I relax and almost wait for my car to take over for me and drive off the bridge knowing I wouldn't do it on my own, but just wishing it would happen. |

Maybe you are avoiding a nasty situation in real life, by not driving over the bridge that leads to it. This could be something from your past that you were once in. You are not not going back to it.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
