STRANGE DREAMS
I dreamt I was standing in a field, a wide-open-space type field, a la the US great plains. Sharing this field were several large, solid cows of the "prize specimen" variety. They were powerful, pedigree, valuable and fairly docile. Until, that is, one after another, they ran out of the field and onto a road. Naturally, this was all my fault and I felt anxious about it.
Another one: a kitchen was on fire. I'd definitely been in this kitchen, but had no understanding or recollection of how the flames had actually taken hold; it really didn't seem to be my fault. I tried to fight the fire with water but to no real avail. I went back in and to my relief the fire was less intense and not spreading to the rest of the building.
Some patterns emerging here, and probably relating to work - i.e. (trying/failing) to contain/control situations... Dreams are so transparent, and, like a soap opera, I'm wondering what the next uncontrollable situation will be. Fire and animals are very obvious symbols for this theme, so I'm curiously anticipating the next one.
