Arthur: looking for insight

@Arthur  My heart goes out to you.  I hope and pray you will be able to find relief somehow.

 

I am sorry you are having these dreams.  I think it is just your brain trying to process the difficult experience you are having, and often this comes out in strange ways, as I have seen for myself.  It doesn't in any way mean that these things are going to take place.  

 

Peace to you.❤️
