Dream Interpretation
I had such a vivid dream last night that it has stuck with me all morning.
I live in East Norwalk, CT. This section of town is separated from the South Norwalk section of town by the Norwalk River. It is not a very wide river but there is a draw bridge that goes over it. There is also a railroad bridge just down the river from the drawbridge. The bridge is not very big but in my dream it was a lot bigger, and the railroad tracks were part of the drawbridge.
In the dream, I was stopped at the light for the drawbridge and the bridge was up. A car had somehow gotten past the gate and was up near the opening, sliding backward toward the traffic light. Then, like a movie, my dream flashed to the next scene. Now I am on the other side of the bridge, in South Norwalk heading home to East Norwalk. There are a lot of other cars around me and we all start to drive over the bridge. Suddenly it starts to open. Cars are sliding backward. People are panicking. Luckily, I am on the left hand side of the bridge, near the railroad tracks, and I follow others onto the tracks. Those of us who drive over the railroad portion of the bridge make it safely. Somehow I end up outside of my car and have to jump from the tracks onto the grass on the other side of the bridge. I can see other people jumping from the tracks into the river. Cars are falling into the river. The dream flashes to the next scene and I am in my apartment, safe and alive.
I can't help but wonder if this dream means that I am finally "back on track." I have felt as though I was "falling off the wagon" and the past couple of days I have been slowly starting to feel better. Have I saved myself?
