I had a creepy dream last night…it was one of those that felt so real…it was 
hard to believe that it wasn’t actually happening…so…I did what I needed to do…I got up…turned on the lights…checked the windows and doors…and…played on Facebook for a while…and…thankfully I went back to sleep without further incident…
But…this morning…Bertha…wanted to talk about it…explaining to me…that all my dreams have a meaning to my life…and it isn’t always what I expect it to be at first glance…
So…we broke it apart…and looked at the pieces…I was surprised to find…that it actually represented the fact that I was carrying others’ burdens…and…that I needed to let them go…
She gave me the image of a prospector’s mule…so loaded down with burdens…that are not its own…that it can barely trudge along the path…and…yes…she didn’t call it a mule…and…yes…she said she’d call me that…if I didn’t shape up…and…allow…everyone else…to manage their own lives…
Hmmm…
Thankfully…she said this doesn’t mean that I can’t lend a helping hand…it simply needs that I have to let go of the need to fix things for everyone else…
Then…she gave me a choice…I could either let go of these burdens that aren’t mine…or…she would keep sending me…creepy dreams…
Well…friends…I hate to tell you…but…I’m gonna let their burdens go…frankly…none of them asked me to carry them anyway…and…most of them have no idea that I’ve been trying to carry them…and…honestly…most of them…would rather do it their way instead of mine…and…kind of resent my unrequested assistance…
Besides all that…I mostly don’t like creepy dreams…and…there wasn’t that much happening on Facebook in the middle of the night…
