It would seem that “shoes” are an important symbol these days, me having had a brief dream about keeping money in a shoebox yesterday. This morning though, it was about the fact that I wasn’t wearing shoes at all outside when someone asked me for help, and no clothes at all (let alone shoes) when I went to deliver some stuff I thought my downstairs neighbor might like to have.
There were some other dreams, too, about other people not giving me a chance to do things, as if I was an invalid or something, to stupid or helpless to know what I’m doing. Some of this could probably be attributed to the fact that I was reading David Schwartz’s book, “The Magic of Thinking Big.” A good portion of the chapter I read yesterday afternoon had to do with looking sharp and dressing your best in order to feel your best.
So, all things considered, I really don’t need Copilot’s help or anyone else’s to figure out what’s going on here. Over the course of my life, I’ve been invalidated in so many ways by so many people, “Of course, that’s going to weigh on my mind a bit.”
How can it not? Incidentally, in the dream about my current downstairs neighbor, she told me to take the stuff I had for her and throw it out. It was only then that I realized she was seeing me without opening her door through a peephole camera. I was puzzled at her hostile tone of voice until I realized I was stark naked holding a box full of stuff in front of the camera.
No wonder she didn’t want anything from me. But this dream, like the others, does illustrate my current state of mine pretty well.
Part of me feels like posting to this site is pointless. Then there’s the question of what people will do when they find out what’s here.
However, one can treat the box itself as a symbol without connecting it to shoes or any other item. To me, a box is a form of storage when not a means of delivery. Yesterday the dream was partly about carrying money in a box. Today I was delivering something to my neighbor in a box which she rejected clearly due to my nakedness.
In the final analysis, when you journal online you are basically naked to the world. So, I certainly can see what the message is here. “I need to learn to be comfortable with my digital nakedness.”
