I had an odd nightmare last night...

For whatever reason, I was in a building trying to get to a specific floor. And no matter what elevator I got in, it wouldn't take me to that floor. One even went sideways, for some reason. That in and of itself was frustrating. The nightmare came in when I got in an elevator, and realized it was an all glass elevator. See, I have acrophobia in those situations. It terrified me, especially given it was one of those glass elevators that's on the "outside" of a building, for whatever reason.

It freaked me out to the point that my wife had to touch my arm while I was sleeping to calm me down. It really freaked me out.

A goal you can never reach, and you're worried everyone can see it. Dreams tell us what's actually going on, once we understand he symbolic language.

Dreams tell us what's actually going on, once we understand he symbolic language.

The difficulty lies in knowing what everyone's symbolic language is, because it is different for everyone. Mostly. There are a few common cultural themes.
