I haven't been here for a long while

[cate94]

But I really needed to tell this dream to people who might appreciate it:

I’m standing in front of a giant screen. The images are blurry and spinning, like a huge slot machine only more vague.

The wheel stops and a figure walks towards me. I say “oh no! I knew you in another life! You were an asshole then and you’re going to be an asshole now. I don’t know why I keep on having to put up with you!” I turn and walk away.

Okay. It’s a dream. It made me laugh, but I also wonder if I should be expecting someone. ?

1. Maybe don't eat pizza before going to bed?

2. Lol

3. It sounds like a memory of your life review between lives. The full past life review is often

described as a movie. and certain important events of your personal karmic agenda can be highlighted. Do you know someone to whom you have a visceral aversion? Or perhaps that aversion, carried over from a previous life experience, is coming up and you're being alerted to handle it better than you did earlier. My opinion is based on Christian theology, if Christians but understood their writings.

4. Thanks

I haven’t run into anyone like that for years. However, I am going through some serious health issues, and coming into contact with new people soon. So maybe that? I’ll pay attention.

5. Is this a recurrence of the same health issue from before?

[cate94]

6. It's recurrence of breast cancer

I was cancer free for 9 years. I had a mastectomy 11 days ago. I believe I’ll be having chemo as soon as I am healed. The oncologist told me that if my tumor was 6 mm or larger, I’d need chemo. I had 2 tumors, both larger than that.

So maybe I’m calling my cancer an asshole? Seems appropriate.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Yes. This dream shows a good psychological attitude to fight your cancer.

From a psych standpoint it is what we like to see in a patient.

A willingness to fight, show some anger, and not feeling overwhelmed or helpless.

You seem both matter of fact, but angry which is a good combination from
a psychological standpoint fighting a cancer diagnosis.

[cate94]

8. Well that's something

I feel like no choice but to just keep going forward. Deal with and just keep walking.

[Irish_Dem]

9. Yes this attitude shows up in your dream.

It is a good dream.

[cate94]

13. Thanks

11. Could be. Let us know. The older I get the more I pay attention to stuff like this.

[cate94]

14. Right?

Will do

15. Two other interesting things about this dream:

1. The blurry figure is first seen in a giant screen, then walks out of the screen towards the dreamer.

A TV or movie view of someone in a dream indicates that the dreamer has removed herself from the content or people on screen. Backed it out of her life. Or moved on. Which is what she did with the first cancer episode. This is another good sign, that she had come to terms with it or blocked it from interfering with her life. It could also mean she wasn't ready to deal with the return of the cancer until now.

2. The lottery aspect, where the slot machine comes to a stop and Mr. Cancer walks towards her. I see this as the dreamer not talking her illness personally, it is not some higher power abandoning her or something like that. It is the luck of the draw. This is also good in that it gives the dreamer objectivity.

So the dream is showing us more good coping skills.

[cate94]

16. I love the fact that you were able to visualize my dream.

I also appreciate your interpretations. It’s nice to hear that confidence in my coping skills. Tomorrow I will see my mastectomy and the following day I will find out about chemo. Well it is a crap shoot and I’ll do what I have to do, but I won’t pretend there is no anxiety.

[Irish_Dem]

17. Yes of course it was an anxiety dream.

Yes you are anxious, but you show good coping skills.

I love dream analysis and have good visualization skills.
So I always see the dream clearly in my mind's eye as someone describes it.

Let me know what you find out.
I am hoping you get good news.

18. Thanks

19. Surgeon

Took out one of two drains. He is happy with the healing. The other drain comes out next week.

The oncologist said NO chemo!! YAY!!! Endocrine therapy for 5 years unless it disrupts my life. It did nine years ago, but I’ll give it a fair shot.

[Irish_Dem]

20. Fabulous news.

Yes give the endocrine tx a shot and see how it goes.

You were right to call mr cancer an asshole.
You kicked his butt.

[cate94]

21. It is much better than I thought

Cancer is an asshole. I’m not appreciating the wound that asshole left on my chest, but that will get better. I won this battle, and I got free flowers! And lots of cards!

And we can plan some getaways that had been put on hold and go back to some sense of normalcy.

[Irish_Dem]

22. You have your life back and that is a big win.

Yes go live and have some fun. You deserve it.

You have done so well.

I am so happy for you.

[cate94]

23. Thank you so much!

[OneGrassRoot]

24. ...

That IS good news!!! (I’ve had 2 rounds so I know.) More for you.

And cancer really is an asshole.

[cate94]

25. Thank you so much!

back at ya! Haven’t seen you for a while. I guess two rounds to beat the asshole would explain it. Hope you are better now.
