Scary dreams
I have been having some very scary dreams lately — night before last the scenario was that I was working while a gigantic block party type scene was going on outdoors (unspecific dream city location). Someone came and told me that everyone’s car was about to get towed, and I went outside to move my car and was confronted with a big giant confusing crowd with all sorts of people pushing and shoving and trying to leave at the same time. I managed to get into my car and was driving out of the parking garage, but had to stop b/c of the crowds of people walking around, coming up the parking garage ramp. I couldn’t drive any further b/c it was literally a SEA of people. Lots of distressed people….and wondering what to do about it…
OK, and then just last night I had a dream that involved being held up at gunpoint. Very scary, the feeling that I couldn’t do anything to help anyone else or myself. Backed into a corner…
and then when I wake up, it takes a moment to shake it off, but I go about my day which is usually peaceful and happy and I do not have to confront any such terrifying situations! So i’m trying to figure this out!

Both of these dreams seem to deal with a sense of loss of control. Intuitively, I wonder if there is something going on with a friend now that you feel you have no control over and that is bothering you. Let me know if this is true.
It doesn’t seem like a precognitive dream to me, either, because those aren’t easy to shake off. People carry the emotions of those dreams with them throughout the day, usually.

Well, I’m not sure about a specific friend…but your comment made me think of a conversation i had recently…
I was just talking last week with the DC I work with about how we communicate wellness for our clients/patients, and that it can be difficult sometimes when we see the same patients and clients week after week who are getting the benefits of our work in the office, but don’t seem to be following any advice or doing anything for themselves outside of the office…our jobs would be way easier if more people took more personal responsibility for their self-healthcare. We both believe in the law of attraction, and conciously attracting the ideal clients who will understand the recommendations we make and be willing to help themselves, and help us help them….but recently we’ve seen quite a few who want to come in and get “fixed” and that’s that….
I do think there’s an element of loss of control that comes to mind when i think of the healthcare system in the US, and what it is doing to people physically, emotionally, financially. There is a real “loss of control” in my mind associated with that system, and that it is still the mainstream…

Jessi, I just had a horrible experience with the “loss of control” regarding the healthcare system yesterday, in which a doctor didn’t listen to me and seemed unwilling to help. That has been the norm for me. It turned around some at the end of the visit, but left me very frustrated…and it definitely felt like I had no control over the situation and that I was wasting my time…and I can understand why you’d feel that about your patients not listening to you too.
In my practice, I had to trust that I was only attracting to me people that I could truly help (in whatever way- which I may not see) and then remember to trust they were the right ones once they appeared (which I still have to remind myself of sometimes haha). And *then* I had to remind myself there were a lot of these people out there and that I was attracting them to me.

Yah, see, a lot of medical doctors have too many patients to take time to listen and hear each person’s concerns, and patients are conditioned to just go in and get what the doc gives them and not to interact or attempt to communciate or be a part of their own care! So that’s where the carry-over in attitude is with the patients that we were frustrated with - they wanted us to just “fix it” and weren’t making the connection that we need them to play an equal part in their own care. Plus last week i had a client who was starting to feel better and respond to the holistic care in addition to his medical treatments, and when he told his doctor about it, the doctor had the nerve to tell him to STOP the holistic treatments because he personally did not approve or believe in that! To me that’s irresponsible! I wouldn’t DREAM of telling a patient to stop their medical care, even though i personally don’t believe in a lot of the drugs and surgeries that seem to be “the norm.”
You’re right though, the clients that come to me are the ones I can truly help, if only for just a moment while they are with me…law of attraction abides!
