How-am-I-supposed-to-move-unfettered-after-that Dream?
Last night I dreamed once again about that certain ex and his girlfriend. He spent a lot of pleasant time with me until she showed up. Then she kind of stole the show. The two were that kind of affectionate couple some find disgusting, others envy. In any case, their love for one another was palpable (I doubt this kind of display happens between them in real life, knowing him). As in the last dream, her face was less attractive than in reality, but this time her weight was more true to life. In any case, none of that mattered in affect. Actually, she had quite a beautiful aura about her. She had not only stolen his attention, but everyone's in the room, including my mother. My mother turned to her and said, "sweetheart, what's your story?" It turns out she was a very godly woman, with much to share about her love for God and her new life in Christ over the past five years (none of this is based on reality, as far as I know). She just glowed and I could see how he must adore her so much. For a few moments in the dream, she had only one hand, the other was a stub. I remember thinking how odd it was that I had missed that detail before - she was just that impressive.
There were a few other familiar faces in the dream, faces from work. In the dream, neither one of them could be trusted and as events unfolded, I felt rather deceived.
It was very difficult to get going this morning, and to stay focused once I did get to task. Tell me, Lord, how am I supposed to move unfettered throughout my day, full on a night of visions like these? My dreams of exes and their girlfriends/wives always seem to paint a picture for me of an adoring man, and a sweet, wholesome woman I can never bring myself to despise. As painful as these dreams are, I am grateful for the commentary on my psyche that they provide. The interpretations are obvious.
