In the dream I had left my purse behind in a public place. I knew exactly where I left it so I went back hoping and praying it would still be there. It was indeed there so I proceeded to look inside and make sure everything was still in it. Everything was, except for my credit cards. I knew I had not lost any cash because I only had my credit cards there but I was irked. I was irked not just at whomever took the cards, but also irked at myself for leaving the purse behind.
Why would I dream this now and what exactly does it mean?
The purse represents my capacity to love.
The contents represent the various ways I love.
The credit cards represent the ways I received love in the past.
So I was so relieved to learn that my purse was still where I left it. I am also relieved to know my heart is also right where its always been. The contents of the purse were also still there. I am still able to love in all the ways that I always have. The credit cards were gone. In the past, I think that I knew and felt love from others but I often felt like I received it knowing there would be a bill to pay later. Maybe I was irked in the dream that my credit cards were stolen, but not because I would be out any money - only because I would have the inconvenience of having to call the credit card companies to stop the cards from being used. I knew I would not be liable for unauthorized charges but that I would have to be watching my statements. I also knew that once I reported the cards stolen, I did not have to have new ones reissued to me. I could decide to switch to a cash only basis for my finances. In a similar way, I may be irked that I'm not receiving love the way I used to and I'm irked that it has been such an inconvenience. However, I realize that I don't have to be injured by it. I'm not liable for any unreasonable expectations that are placed on me and NOW I can start loving in a healthy manner without the burden of knowing there will likely be a bill to pay later.
I think perhaps that this was a very GOOD dream. Dave Ramsey would be proud.
