I awoke from this dream gasping as if I had been holding my breath for a long time but I wondered if
my breathlessness was just from the intensity of my anger. I had been down all day, unclear about
the exact reason for my depression but suspecting that it might be associated with feeling that I was
becoming a burden to Darchelle. Anger at her, redirected at myself, could have triggered the depression
and inspired the dream.
A year later I had
another dream which gave me insight into this one, which is apparently about my refusal
to hope in God.
Alternatively, this dream might be about my rejection of Christianity, and of the self-condemnation which I
incorporated into my faith right from the start. This interpretation is supported by
a
dream ten years ago in which a man in light blue killed me. That dream depicted my adoption of
Christianity as an act of self-destruction. This dream depicts my rejection of Christianity as an
act of self-defense.
