Dream or Premonition?

I woke up with two issues this morning.

One was a flashback of a severe car accident when I was nineteen when I was not at the wheel. So having my husband drive me to the appointment I had today made me shiver.

I realized I wasn’t in control of the car in either trips. Addressing the fear, recognizing it could paralyze me, but choosing to understand that I have made four trips previously to my appointed place today, so there was no reason to fear. I got through it.

I hadn’t thought of that accident for ever, so it surprised me that I still had that thought tucked away inside of me. Time to face it as I was no longer a teenager. So I can see it as an adult now.

But the weird thing was that my husband was parallel parking as he usually avoids it. I felt a strong feeling to get out of the car in order to help direct him.

Suddenly a young lady appeared in front of me while he was reversing directly towards her. I called out to her to move out of danger, myself included. It appeared he wasn’t looking behind him as he drove. She thanked me profusely before safely crossing the road.

My mind went numb and into panic mode and was quite shaken up. Fortunately the incident was right outside the building I was visiting for my complex trauma sessions.

Was the dream a form of a premonition? What would have happened if I hadn’t heeded the message to get out of the car when I did?

Vulnerability:

Next, I felt vulnerable with my last appointment. Some unexpected things happened, so it made me feel vulnerable to attend this recurring appointment.

On top of that I had an even more vulnerable incident a year ago, that I will be facing the same people who witnessed my vulnerability once again after having hid from them for a year. Another reason to stay home and feel safe.

But is that the solution?

Both events due today and tomorrow are valid. I know I need to face them both, so I will. I choose to face my own vulnerability as I also know that those I will interact with are safe, and I have had time to heal from the events.

But I used the autogenic technique I recently learnt from Light Hearts Uk and was calmed enough to tell you about my agoraphobia, making me feel vulnerable again! Such is life.

We are all vulnerable at some time in our life.

Since I have a goal to travel overseas post covid 19, I am taking this time to focus on my agoraphobia so that I can move forward.

Having been house bound for many years due to my chronic illnesses I am at a point of healing where I can restart my life, re-enter society, go shopping, help out voluntarily like I used to, and be a part of the world apart from my blog posts behind my computer. I’m coming out!

Ps: Both events I was traumatized by turned out very well for me, so much better than I thought they would be.
