Dream, July 10, 2006
I was at an indoor bazaar somewhere that had all sorts of wonderful things, especially in one end of it. I looked at and admired a number of pieces of clothing, but I couldn’t make up my mind. I wandered elsewhere through the bazaar. I felt like I could not afford to buy all the clothing I liked, so I decided to go back and buy one item. When I went back to the end of the “mall” where the clothing store was, the lights were all turned off and the whole contents of the store was gone. I was not aware that the store closed earlier than the rest.
This, to me, is another opportunities dream. I am looking at various enticing opportunities, but cannot choose them all. I go off and think about it, and decide that the solution is to choose just one, but by the time I return, all have disappeared. I think I am afraid to let myself be attracted to opportunities; that I will be unable to decide what I will be happiest with, and/or when I do decide, what I want will be gone.
This dream shows me that I use this scenario as a rationalization for ignoring opportunities. To help “heal” my ability to accept opportunities, I need to run this dream through my head again, adjusting the circumstances to those which are the most positive:
I am in the bazaar, looking at lovely, appealing clothing (opportunities). Although I may not be able to choose a large number of items (opportunities) at once, I will choose enough for a whole outfit and buy them right away. I will wear my new outfit in the world with joyful pleasure. When any item or the whole outfit becomes worn or stained, I will find another bazaar and purchase other beautiful clothing (find other opportunities) as needed.
