A bad dream--in two stages
The other night, I first dreamed that I was on my way to guest speak to a colleague's class at a nearby institution. I had budgeted plenty of time, but suddenly realized that I had only twelve minutes until the talk was scheduled to talk--but would definitely not be able to make it to the location--which I wasn't entirely clear on where to find. To make matters worse, as I was sitting in a parking lot to call my colleague, my cell phone was stolen. A woman approached me, asking, of all things, for an aspirin (which I must somehow had had with me), and while I was distracted, her partner in crime stole my cell phone. I woke up and wondered if it was really safe to keep my cell phone on my belt, or whether I was too vulnerable to get it stolen that way in real life.
You hold yourself to high standards and are not content to give less than you feel you expect of yourself. A relationship with a woman that is a goal or an actuality right now leaves you with deep concerns that opening up in that way may bring you to have to make a compromise or accept a change in your priorities. You feel vulnerable and fear being 'played'. Was this a quiz? **Shirlene** (Or maybe Joseph with my coat of many colors)
