I work with people with different types of disabilities. I dreamed I was on a street that has a lot of traffic. I saw two women that I work with. They have Alzheimer’s. When they saw me they crouched down to hide, but there was nothing for them to hide under. I wanted to stop and pick them up, but there was too much traffic, and they were on the opposite side, so I had someone else pick them up. In real life there are situations I wish to change at my job. I have ideas that I feel are not heard or don’t seem to be important to people. Is this related?

Lauri: The two women are standing in for the ideas you have ... ideas you have let loose but no one is “picking up” on, ideas that—like Alzheimer’s—you are afraid will fade away. The traffic is the flow of your workplace. The women—your ideas—are on the opposite side. Your ideas must oppose the flow of things at work. I think the answer your dream is giving you is in the end, when you decide to have someone else pick them up. Perhaps you need to get someone else on your bandwagon. Strength in numbers!

Staci replies: I never thought they could represent my ideas, but you’re right. Yesterday I met someone who has similar ideas as me and who is in a much better position to implement them. She started by contacting people in our corporate office whom I don’t know as well. I felt a total sense of relief.
