AM 2011 - Stage 4 - 3 Weeks 5 Days
Last night, I had an extremely vivid dream. I remember having dreams every night while using AM 2011, but this one stuck in my memory more than the vague impressions I usually have left upon waking.
I was at a beach resort with a woman who was a friend of mine. (In the dream, anyway. I have no idea who she was. Just the knowledge that in the dream we were good friends.) At one point, some big, buff, and obnoxious dude wanders over and starts harassing her. I get in front of him and calmly look him in the eyes and tell him that he is upsetting my friend and to please move on. He gets right up in my face and starts yelling about how he'll do what he *bleep* well pleases and that I should stay the *bleep* out of his business. I just take it calmly and keep looking him straight in the eyes and reiterate my previous statements a little more firmly. He finally gives up and just slinks away. Afterward, I get the impression that my friend and those around me are seeing me in a new light and are quite impressed. She said that she could have handled it but it was nice of me to step in like that. The dream continued from there, but it was random and disjointed and doesn't make as much sense.
I just keep remembering how calm and in control I felt. It was really intense and inspiring. Especially considering that in the dream he was taller than I am (which is an unusual experience for me) and obviously enjoys his gym time. Very stereotypical "beach bully." I remember thinking that he could easily thrash me but I knew I was doing what was right and that it was worth the risk.
I have never felt that solidly sure of myself. I felt it so deep down that it felt like it was coming up from the very ground beneath me.
It's got me smiling, and it's a great way to start the day.
