Dream of:
13 August 1988 "Shock Absorber"I had met an older man who had apparently been trying to counsel me about some matters in my life. As the two of us walk out of a building on to a street, he said that he had been able to discern one of the "shock absorbers" which I used in my life. By "shock absorber" he seemed to mean a method which people used to cope with problems. He went on to state that the "shock absorber" which I used was "trying to make sense of everything."
I thought I saw what he was trying to say. Apparently a "shock absorber" was something which could help a person cope with problems, but a person would be better off discarding the "shock absorber." Such was the case with "trying to make sense of everything." Since a person couldn't "make sense of everything," it would be better not to try.
But I had an argument to make in my defense. I told the man that I was fully aware that I wouldn't be able to "make sense of everything." But nevertheless, I felt it was practically my main endeavor in life to continue trying, even though I realized I wouldn't succeed. The man seemed interested in the way I was talking, as if I might possibly have reached some understanding concerning the subject.
