I have this recovering dream that a Tsunami hits me and all people in the vicinity.
Sometimes, I am with my mother. Sometime, with friends.
But everytime we survive.
What is the significance of this dream? Danielle, could you shed some light?

Running – it’s a mind thing
By merril
20/03/2012 3:06 pmhey rads and Geetha, thanks for your comments. Glad Suraj’s write-up motivated you both. All the best for the marathon in June, Geetha!!! come and read the post in case you feel low about it at any time…also, here’s something a friend shared yest:
“Don’t aim at success—the more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.

Running – it’s a mind thing
By Geetha
19/03/2012 8:30 pmThanks so much for this, Merril.
That was a real motivation to read. I am planning to do walk/jog the 10K marathon in June and it was truly inspiring to read your post. There are plenty of reasons that I would do it, but I still keep thinking if I did the right thing by registering for it, the first and foremost being that am I fit enough? But as I read through your post, it does hit me that you are absolutely right, it is a mind thing

Thank you for this. I am in similar position, as in attempting to push myself and my body to do what I never dreamed of or thought capable of considering injuries, weight gain and general malaise.I intend to walk/run the 5K in May, but am attempting it this Saturday just to see if I can do it. It will be a big challenge, and your post has helped immensely. It is a mind thing.

Lapses of lingy… by Themebuilder | Entries (RSS) and Comments (RSS).
The tsunami was such a horrible tragedy. I can only imagine that it’s all the more so for you and others who were closer to it. I think it was so horrible that you repressed some of this as a way to cope, and now you’re trying to deal with it. It’s no different than those who had nightmares about planes flying into buildings, and I’m sure there are some who still do.
In your dream, you always are with people you love, people who you would mourn over terribly if you lost them, or people who would mourn over losing you in such a tragedy. I only attach the significance of that to the fact that these people mean a lot to you and give you a reason for living.
Did you have an occasion recently to see areas damaged by the tsunami (i.e., any traveling to Chennai)? Perhaps something brought this to the forefront of your thoughts, or like I first said, maybe you’re just dealing with repressed feelings.
I’m not a psychologist, but I play one on Xanga.
that seems to be a common dream. I remember I had it a lot when I was a Teen. My daughter has dreams like that now. Considering that water is often assimilated to the contents of your inconscious, a wave sweeping over you might mean an inner conflict endangering your conscious ego. You survive, with your friends and your mother. Maybe your friends and your mom give you the psychological strength to deal with your inconscious. And in each dream you survive, you don’t wake up before the wave hits, so that you don’t really know if you survive or not… I think that somehow you have a good confidence in your capacity to face yourself. Your dream is a similar message like those vehiculed by old fairy tales: small, insufficient being facing monster but surviving while monster is gone/destroyed thanks to his own inner strength and the help of friends….
Thanks for that interpretation Danielle…didn’t know it was a common dream…just a tiny correction…the wave does hit during the dream…but somehow it does not touch me…it seems to only destroy things not people…
Oh my goodness Merril… this tsunami nightmare… the record-setting rains in Mumbai… they hit everyone in your vicinity.
Could it have been a foreshadowing?
Hmm… bumped into this one quite accidently… a documented premonition?, thats real rare…wow!
interestingly, on the 26th of July 2005, Mumbai floods hit the city and many people drowned, suffocated, et al. But I fell ill and stayed home, cocooned by circumstances in my home, which was not touched by the floods. possibly, a premonition it seems.
