Re: Anxiety
Well, Bryan, that is a most interesting dream! I couldn't begin to guess what it means, because I don't see dreams as having a single meaning. It's up to us to determine their significance and the impact they have on our lives. What's striking is how these imagined scenes can have such powerful effects on our waking emotions and thoughts. Thanks for sharing your comments, and I would lean toward just seeing what evolves as the nervous system continues to process that experience.
