Just woke up to a dream i which I was back working in mental health again passing meds. But today I seemed to be preoccupied with some what appeared to be free association experiences and appeared to have forgotten to pass the meds to the clients. Keeping ‘on task’ in a timely manner seemed to be an important task of many of the jobs I had during my working years and keeping ‘on task’ appears to be and has been an important aspect of spiritual discipline during my life as well. This I would say was one of the biggest fears we would have back then because it would be a recipient rights issue and we would be disciplined for it. Yet my ‘boss’ knew about it and we could not find any of the med sheets to find out what meds had been passed that day. This would have been an issue involving all the workers that day. We went from room to room looking for them, because apparently they were not in the med room. I remember explaining to my boss that I had an important airplane flight coming in that was going to bring back some information that had been taken from me, and was picturing that at the same time. Suddenly I woke up relieved i had just experienced a dream.

Perhaps we often dream about our deepest fears in life. Or those things that caused us some of the most frustrating moments. I’m not sure why but they live on in our memories and surface quite often in dream landscapes. In the past I also dreamt I was back in college, and had not studied thoroughly enough to successfully pass an important exam. After having dream for years about being back in school I was delighted that i was not dreaming about that any more. My hope and wish is that my dreams in my nightly sojourns can be more about spiritual matters, practicing the presence and meditating even in those
dreams as I do during our day dreams.
