Never let go

A recurring theme haunts my dreams.
I’m in a foreign country. I don’t speak the language.
I can’t read the signs. I can’t communicate.
I look and look but I can’t find my family.
Am I lost from my family? Is my family lost from me?
This alienation dream makes me feel guilty.
I feel I’m not the husband and father I should be.
Others have felt this guilt about themselves.
Here’s an example from the movie "Dr. Zhivago".
Near the end, Tonya meets her father’s half brother.
Comrade Gen. Yevgraf asks Tonya what happened to her.
She says she was lost from her family. How? he asks.
I was just lost, she says. How? he asks her again.
She says she ran with her father Komarovsky.
The city was burning. They ran for their lives.
In their haste, Komarovsky lets go of her hand.
That’s how I became lost, she says.
Yevgraf reveals a secret Tonya had not expected.
Komarovsky was not your father, he says.
"Zhivago was your father.
"Zhivago would never let go of your hand."
His message: Those who love you will never let go.
If you love them, don't let go either.
Don't neglect them. Care for and love them.
Do you ever have dreams like mine?
What do you think these dreams tell you?
If not, what dreams do you experience?
What is your subsconscious mind telling you?
Dreams are our inner minds talking to us.
It tells us about ourselves. Listen and learn.
