Progress?
I am at your house begging you to give me a little bit of your time. If I could just talk to you, I know we could walk out all of those old, pointless problems.
You’re stubborn and refuse to do so. Your sister is behind you trying to intimidate me into leaving. I refuse to leave because I know we can make it work if we tried. I try to explain this to you, but you continue to ignore me. There’s nothing I can do to get you to be a decent person and at least talk to me so I begin walking away.
It is a late fall day around 4:30p.m. The sun has almost gone down, and as I walk away I see an above-ground pool. There are brown oak leaves floating on the surface of the uncovered pool. The air is cold.
I awake. This dream is important because it is the first time you’ve refused me instead of either begging me to talk to you, or you agreeing and coming to the same conclusion as I did. I think the dead oak leaves floating in an unused pool may symbolize the nearing end of the mourning period.
