Recuring dreams of peace in anxious circumstances

I have been having a recuring dream lately which seems to have hit its conclusion durring several hours of sleep on this fine evening just before spring pokes its head around the corner melting the masses of snow covering everything in New England.

I am not one for being a prophet nor do I have belief in much of anything leading our lives on a string, however our dreams are from a deeper part of ourselves and as such have a greater meaning at most times than outside sources as they are made up of our hopes dreams and mental issues which we are working through on a daily basis even if only on a subconscious level.

Listening to ones dreams can show us things we did not even realize were bothering us. I have not had an anxiety attack in several years although there was a time when I had them often. My dream was quite vivid with a man who was quite dashing and calm even in the worst of times I had been frustrated and complaining about the way something I needed to repair had been done nothing new I had faced something which was not bothering me at all on a conscious level I did not worry about nor do I waste much though about. By the end of the dream I was completely calm as if under a deep hypnosis but highly awake the feeling was empowering and I woke refreshed in the wee hours of the morning facing oncoming traffic as the driver drove head on into opposing traffic I myself was wedged tightly against the drivers door in an uncomfortable type of position while he was driving the symbolism could mean many things but is likely the feeling of being traped and unable to escape without impending doom but no where in the dream did i feel uncomfortable just that I likely needed to feel so.

In short it was a complex set of feelings which empowered and did not slow me from the onset. I have not had many dreams I remember of late and have had few that were so enlightening or left me feeling so much better than I did when I fell asleep in the first place.
