Dreams

Where do dreams come from?  Are they about the child?  Are they about the woman?  Are they a mix of the two?

Sometimes I dream about situations that are definitely about the child...  quivering, scared, running - experiencing all of those feelings that I remember from my childhood.  Sometimes I dream about situations that are definitely about the woman .... empowerment, strength, truth - experiencing all of those feelings that I know to be true today.  Sometimes it's a combination of the two.

Dreams are so real and yet so distant.  The floating and the fuzzy outlines.  The knowing and the realizations.  I'm left wondering how these reflect who I am and how they make me who I am today.

Today, my dreams leave me confused.  They leave me uncomfortable.  They leave me longing for things I'll never have.  They leave me concerned about the choices in my life.

And then, I realize that they are only dreams.  They aren't my reality.  That is my woman.
