Dream and Interpretation by Saunder Strong

DREAM
I was in the wetlands part of me.

There was a fresh snow.

I walked in the plowed street part of me.

I walked on the boardwalk part of me; I was the first tracks.

I walked through the hidden wooded trails parts of me.

My curiosity grew when I saw the wooded trail. I reminded myself to walk it when I was heading back.

INTERPRETATION
Plowed street implies that I had already learned this part of me; most likely with the help of another.

I decided to continue my journey towards the boardwalk upon witnessing the trail.

What do the wetlands represent? Well, wetlands are typically shallow, though caked with mud, cats tail and other brush. Certainly undesirable to tread through so the boardwalk represents development and progression through rough times. Yet, the snow covering the path would mean there is more to be found.

What was a trying time that required help from others to prosper?
My time in college, being the most recent. The dream did remind me of Bozeman’s urban city amongst nature attributes. Did I dodge something there that I must reflect upon? I missed out on a really cool community. One that helped lift me over troubled times. Perhaps I need to return there? The fact that this dream lacked abundance in people is intriguing. This implies that it is a journey for me alone.

My backtrack to the unmarked, undisturbed wooded trail implies that along the way there is something I missed. Something missed… or a new path of understanding. I have ought to discover alone.
This path is not daunting to me. It is exploration; mystery.

What is something in my life that I need to explore?
To name a couple…
Making new friends.

My calling in life
BOOM! My calling in life.

What I have now that will sustain me…
Independence, peace, stability, healthy habits, the outdoors

What I desire…
My calling in life; Ambition to pursue
