I’m at work (it seems like the original Waters Edge
office) and realize i really need to start packing up my personal stuff and
bringing it home. As i look around me i realize i have a LOT of personal shit
and wonder where i’m going to put it once i get it home. There’s the old
Grundig, a wooden bookshelf that belongs to me, a BUNCH of plants. I feel
overwhelmed and don’t know how i’m going to get it all home. Then i remember i
have a pick-up truck and feel a little better, thinking that as long as i can
get somebody to help me get it into the back of the truck, i can get it home.
As for all the plants, i decide to give away as many as i can and only keep the
roots of the ones that are important to me. 
This is a new kind of stress dream! Obviously related to
my real-life waking situation of having to start closing down this 26+ year
relationship/career. The interesting
thing about the dream is the symbolism. The old Grundig. The old ’75 Chevy
pick-up. Both of those items have been out of my life for longer than i’ve
worked at this company. And the plants…
i often dream of the plants and the panicky feeling that i haven’t
watered them in i don’t know how long and i’m worried they’ll all be dead. Maybe
it’s my psyche cleaning out debris to make ready for the next adventure? Or
maybe the Grundig and pick-up truck are symbols of a happier, freer, easier time
in my life. I had great times driving that ol’ rust-bucket of a truck.
Luckily, i don’t really have that much personal stuff to
bring home but i have a feeling that the dream is trying to tell me something
else but i can’t quite understand it yet.
