Late to the race

I had another dream last night. It's weird cause like I mentioned in my last post about dreams, it doesn't happen often. Maybe because I'm not asleep long enough. Hahaha. I average about 7 hours of sleep, but on a day that I get to sleep in, about 10. Bad, I know huh? Anyways...here is the dream I had:

Setting: a wilderness race

It was a nice summer day. I had decided to participate in a race. My family was there (mom and dad) and they were actually excited for me. I had brought my gear to the race and went to go change in the bathroom along with some others. I had my red gym bag with me and began to suit up. At that moment, all of the fast runners started to trickle in as well and it started to get crowded. I started getting frustrated cause I was having a hard time getting ready. In the background I heard the announcer counting down to the start of the race.

I had my running shorts, my running shirt, I put on the Body Glide, but then I noticed one important element...my shoes! Where were my shoes?! I scrounge around my bag and find them. As I put my running belt on, I start running towards the starting line. But I noticed I was missing another element, my racing bib! I hadn't signed up for the race. I franticly try to locate the registration table. I walk all around and panic. And behold, the race started without me. Some time passes and I go up to a table and inquire if it is too late to run. They stated yes. But did that stop me...nope! I decided to run with the pack anyways. The End!

Interpretation: There will be times when I make a decision and others will be there to support me. Sometimes those who I don't expect but for what ever reason, they step up their game. In this instance, my parents are that figure. There will be times when I can't think clearly because there is too much going on, but once things settle down, I am able to focus once again and complete the task. I'm not always going to be prepared for life's hiccups. But I will do what is necessary to ensure that I can be ready for it. And if I am not able to complete that research or get clarification, I just go for it and learn as I go.

Reflection: My life is a big cluster right now. So much I want to do, so much I want to accomplish, so much I want, so much I need. I don't have clear direction or all of the answers to my questions. Many things are still floating in the air. But I know with the support and love of important individuals in my life (God, Mark, Ricky, and my family), I will be able to withstand life's challenges and fulfill my dreams/aspirations!
