... Years ago, in a dream, I was babysitting my own self and my two young brothers as children. I realized that my job was primarily to protect my younger, more vulnerable self. Everything in the dream was like a long road, as if we had a destination to reach.
After a few mishaps with a semi-truck we were driving (inexplicably), I realized that we had been headed to a water park. On the way down from one of those water-slides (cradling my younger self in front of me, as people do on slides), I began to notice various coins of various denominations and values in the pool where we ended up.
Some were pennies, others nickels, still others dimes -- but there were also rare, valuable coins in the mix. It may sound strange to you that I decided to keep the valuable ones for my grown-up self and to gift the less valuable ones to my younger self.
Yet, somehow intuitively, I knew that my task at the moment was to pique my younger self's interest, while at the same time, recognizing their value, protecting the valuable coins from loss or damage.
I have my own interpretation of this dream, but I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas.
