Dreams and Schemes

May 1, 2019
By Anonymous

Thoughts, feelings, hopes, failures, loves,

and all the secrets of the heart, 

exposed in dreams without fear of prying eyes and passing judgment.

 

Dreams are the nastiest,

reflecting bad memories and poor situations.

Life is not a bed of roses.

Why should dreams reflect anything other than the truth?

 

In her dream, outnumbered by those wanted to kill her.

Retaliate and kill them first.

But she could not.

Assailants appeared to be pregnant, innocent, not as fierce.

 

Unable to face up to the situation symbolized by the dream,

as retaliation would be most unfair.

Dreamer would survive,

With new hope for the future. 

 

Take comfort in the message that 

pregnant women symbolized a promise for the future.

A dream that alters a person's life for the better.
