The Dream

Right before I woke up I had a dream.  This dream was so profound that I had to write it down before I forgot it.  In the dream I was with my friends, Niel and Brittany Campbell, who I know from BYU--Idaho.  Niel and Brittany had driven out to where I was because I was having car trouble.  Niel got in my car and drove it away.    I then got into Niel and Britanny's car, with Brittany, and drove away.  I soon realized that I was having trouble seeing where I was going, which puzzled me.  I soon found out that the reason why I was having trouble seeing where I was going was because I was sitting in the back seat.  I then realized that Brittany was sitting in the front passenger's seat, there was nobody driving, and we were about to begin down this steep, windy hill on a city street.  I panicked and asked Brittany if she had a way to stop the car.  She tried at first, unsuccessfully, until I recommended that she slide over to the driver's seat and stop it, which she eventually did.  Thankfully, we were able to make it down the hill without any incident.  I then got in the driver's seat and we both drove off.  It was then that I noticed, by looking at Niel's awesome GPS display which took up the entire dash board in front of me, that I was off course and did not know how to get back.

This life may or may not be a metaphor for my life.  I have finally begun to come to terms with the fact that I'm gay and I'm having a really hard time with that.  I have started seeing a therapist who has a program set up to help me to make some big decisions in my life.  I guess I could draw some other metaphors, but it's time for me to go to work.  I might add a part two to this posting later.
