| "One Day to Live" |
| The time is the present, but in my dream my son
and daughter are very young. Some sort of widespread
calamity has occurred and my wife and I learn that we and
our children have only one day to live. At first I'm
angry and bitter as I attend to the needs of my son while
my wife cares for our little daughter. Though I hate that
life's end is so near, I don't want to spend my last day
on earth filled with anger. I resolve to spend it being
loving and compassionate. Some boys have broken my son's toy car and I help him find the pieces and put it back together. Being helpful and loving enables me to feel good that final day. The difference between being filled with anger and being filled with love is extraordinary. When we arrive at the place where parents and their children are being euthanized my daughter becomes upset. I say to my wife, "Who can blame her? How can anyone not be upset about dying?" Then I woke up. |
| Interpretation: |
| The message of this dream is that life is short and that every day is important. Being loving and compassionate makes life sweet. Spending our days in anger and bitterness is not only unpleasant, but a terrible waste of our precious time on earth. |
