Had a disturbing dream the other night about my family…

My mother and brother were in it. She had sold her old car engine to a woman even though it didn’t work. The woman seemed happy enough, but I felt that it was a pretty selfish thing to have done.

The image is connected to the dream I had about Deb and Bev way back, when Deb’s car radio was full of static and she held up traffic on the freeway to fool around with it, while Bev’s car was totally broken down.

The image of the cars and engine has to do with emotional health, the ability to give, and coping with feelings. Mom’s old engine didn’t work when she ex-communicated with me, and her selling it to a very nice woman indicates to me that she doesn’t care the least about helping others.
