Where Did That Dream Go?
(So I asked a Shrink!)
By BR Chitwood
Where did that dream go, you ask?
Beyond your grasp, sadly…
You had it, but you let it go…
You did not pursue it to the end…
Other diversions caught your fancy…
The phrase is: ‘wine, women, song’…
Sound familiar? ‘wine, women, song’?
WWS slowed and finally ended your dream…
But they were part of the dream…
Too many working dreams spoil the broth!
You’re mixing metaphors, Doctor…
But you have no trouble grasping meaning?
Grasped, Doctor. So, you’re saying, ‘no chance for me’?
There’s always a chance, but youth is gone. Maybe your next life chances will come again…
Whoa, Doc, you believe we get to come back?
That’s not so crazy an idea. A colleague of mine, a hypnotist, has written about taking some patients back to former lives, even having some patients talk about their time while in training units between lives. He has done ‘case studies’… Go to a library, book store, and look under hypnosis, case studies, psychiatrists, former lives…you can find them if you’re interested.
Oh, I’m interested. I just find it so hard to believe.
You wouldn’t be human if you took it at face value. Remember, most of us are ‘doubting Thomas’…many did not believe we would put a man in space, go to the moon, have ‘space stations’, diseases cured, knowledge re-doubling every few months, and all of these life-changing events are being challenged, joined by nefarious rioting groups trying to destroy our cherished freedom and liberty. It is a crazy and wild time for the history of the world… I just hope our kids in the future will be able to read and know of this history… Sorry about the digression, but, in your case, from what you’ve shared with me today, you have had a comparatively good life. You have accomplished many of your goals – which a lot of folks would die for. I really cannot find any major anomalies in your life. Keep your dreams alive. That’s a good thing. The large news I would give you is: be happy in your life – you’ve got more living to do.
Thanks, Doc. You’ve got me feeling better about things… I’m going to find the book or books you were talking about. When I absorb them, I’ll call you for another session.

You get a lot of good advice for $225 an hour. I say a good bourbon can get you the same at a discounted rate. All is good Billy Ray.

PLUS, my shrink was an alcoholic bartender I totally admired! He’ll be out soon! (It’s so nice when people give of their time!)
