I had a disturbing dream the other night. I dreamt that I went to see my priest again. I was trying to talk to him but was having a difficult time getting the words out. The next thing I knew, he was lying top of me, and I could not push him off me. I felt suffocated and betrayed. After his kind, gentle and compassionate manner during our last meeting, he became just one more man who hurt me and whom I could not trust.
I have never been one to interpret dreams...I usually just don't know what to make of them, but this seemed just too real for me. The fact is that I have been considering going to talk to my priest again, and that my husband has been particularly physical lately. I don't know how one became the other in my mind that night, but suddenly, I am not interested in seeing my priest at all.
That must have been a very disturbing dream but it is easy to see where it comes from. My only advice would be to push past your post dream fears and speak to the priest. I suspect you will feel the better for it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cat. I imagine that eventually I will do so
