18v Cordless Drills

- I dreamt of broken winding stairs. What do you think?
Last night I dreamt my family and I were at the ocean. There were huge rock cliffs with a motel built in to the side of one. There were wrought iron winding stairs that lead up to the rooms. Everyone else was already at the top, around the corner facing the ocean and enjoying the view. My hands were full with bags, a coat and whatnot and I was going very slowly because I am extremely afraid of heights and the thin metal railing was difficult to hang onto. You could see the ground far below through the grates of the steps, but I was overcoming me fear and climbing anyways. Suddenly, I came to a spot where all the stairs and railing had collapsed and was just dangling from one hinge. The railing attached to the cliff side was ripped and jagged. Above me I saw my family and oddly asked them to complain to hotel maintenance. The maintenance man came wearing a tool belt, with a cordless drill in his hand. He did not seem very concerned, but turned a few screws with the drill, then walked back up the stairs and disappeared without having fixed anything. I could not go up and I was too terrified to go down. It seems my family ambivalently went off to do their thing and thought I'd be along eventually once the stairs were fixed. Then I woke up.

A Hi Dee, well.....it reminds me a little bit of a dream I had once of climbing a mountain with a back pack that was too heavy, and I chucked some of the stuff out of the backpack to lighten the load so that I could make it to the top. I feel these burdens you carry are fears and issues that hold you back in your life. Whatever these burdens represent, the only one who can "fix" it, is you. As you grow and progress in your life, you know there is no turning back to who you were before, but the path ahead of you is a bit scary right now. Sometimes, even though you know a fear or issue is holding you back, there is a certain comfort in keeping them around, at least you know where you stand, where the alternative is an unknown. It does seem as though you feel your family doesn't offer you enough help or support to get where you need to go, it feels that way from the attitudes they express here. If they are supportive of you or not though, ultimately the journey is yours to make. How much easier would that journey be, if you were relieved of these burdens, and able to grab on with both hands to support yourself better? That you fight your fears and make progress during this dream sounds good to me though, but it seems that you have a few more fears you need to address right now, some "emotional baggage" that you need to let go of in order to climb higher. Good luck to you....
