Pounding the Pavement

Sometimes life is not fair. I am extra, super-duper, unreasonably, over-exhausted this evening. I haven't a strand of creativity remaining. My eyelids keep banging together like shutters in a storm and my head is bopping around like a buoy. This vaguely conjures up an image of a lighthouse in my fuzzy, foggy mind. I am probably committing a cardinal sin against the guiding principles of the blogosphere...thou shalt not blog while sleepy. The real problem is that I want to blog and I tend to allow myself to do what I want. Oh yes, and back to why life is not fair. You know why I am enduring this extra measure of fatigue? I wore these today.Sorry to disappoint you...I did not accomplish fabulous things on the treadmill like reading Ayn Rand whilst burning 800 calories. I merely completed my activities of daily life. And I wore these shoes. When did I get so old that just wearing shoes is some kind of workout? Am I on the cusp of the ripe old age of being too feeble and frail to carry a purse too?

What is money?

Money can be lost, gained, or spent in dreaming. Dreams about money are often really about power, control, and competency. Consequently, the larger perspective of who is interacting with you around money and what your role in the transaction is are important features of the dream. Many people who dream about money are controlled by it-the desire for it, the lack of it, or the inability to control themselves with it. This last category is seen most clearly in money dreams experienced by people who re drowning in debt. If you gain money in a dream, note from whom and under what circumstances. This may be a dream about blessing. The gain of money in this instance is more a gain of emotional power and renewal through a completed relationship that no longer depletes the soul. You may see yourself as having great wealth to dole out to others. This is often a symbol of needing to convey blessing onto others. The true need is rarely financial, but a need to help others. Losing money for no apparent reason is the picture of being unable to control oneself. The lack of control may actually be in the area of money, but it may also be the inability to restrain oneself from over-committing resources emotionally or otherwise. In your waking life, how do you perceive and value money? In some families, money is an object taken for granted, in others it is a powerful symbol of control, influence, or status. Whether or not you have money problems, money dreams could reveal feelings about your relationship with power.

Missing Appointments

Missing Appointments Many people live and die by the desk calendar these days. Ours is a time-conscious, time-driven culture. Most of us have more things to do on our schedules than we can comfortably manage. These pressures have created an environment where missing appointments and scheduled events is a constant threat. Dreams to this effect are common. One of the trigger events for these dreams is the nagging fear that we may not get it all done as we should. Our anxiety about appearing competent to others is fragile and often assaulted in dreams. Another interpretation of this dream is missing an opportunity. Life invites participation in more than could ever be accomplished. Every invitation comes with the promise that this event could change your life. The changes may include relationship or career rewards. A final scenario revolves around fulfilling the relationship obligations that already exist in your life. In this case, dreams of missed appointments may be reminding you of personal obligations that already exist. You may be missing appointments as a sign that you are not fulfilling the needs of your spouse, family, or employer.
