Bad turn

Date: 3/20/2021

I had an unpleasant dream during which I received tickets for two DUIs. I started making excuses to the police and others about what happened, about how I wasn’t really that drunk, or how I hadn’t been driving very far, so it really wasn’t a problem. The kind of things that used to make me irritated to hear when I was a prosecutor and had a DUI case. It was even more disconcerting because in the dream I was also still working as a prosecutor and I knew the police officers professionally. I remember being in a suit and tie in the dream. I also remember encountering several of my colleagues from the DA’s office and having awkward conversations with them where I tried to make excuses. They were clearly making an uncomfortable effort to be polite about the matter. I was extremely uncomfortable about what was happening, and I was was so upset with myself. I think I also remember that I failed to appear in court for one or both of the tickets and I was very concerned about my job. I was VERY relieved to wake up and realize this had all been a dream.

The dream may be suggesting that you are feeling overwhelmed with the pressure to perform and to meet a certain level of expectation. The fact that you were a prosecutor in the dream may also be a sign that you feel a sense of responsibility to uphold certain standards and to set an example. The dream could be telling you that you need to relax and not be too hard on yourself, or that it’s okay to mess up sometimes. It could also be telling you that you need to take a break and take care of yourself.
