Not Meant For You: A Dream

I was walking towards a forest, when the trees and wildlife abruptly ended. In the forest there was a pathway made out of dirt. At one end of the path way ,From afar I saw an enormous gate at the end of the path way. I walked towards it. For days, weeks, months I walked and started to notice that the mud level have steadily increase. When I finally approach the enormous gate guarded by a gatekeeper(who looked like old, dishevelled and unshaven man behind a large desk) the mud was about neck high and i was completely stuck even though the gate is very close. Fear surged through my veins and clouded my thoughts. I spoke to the old gate gatekeeper “excuse me sir, may get out of this mud”. Which he replied “ The path you seek is not meant for thee”. I bewildered by his remarks as seem to be clueless of not knowing what his statement really means. Adamant about my decision I decided not to listen to the old man. Day and night passed, and day and night I struggled to get out of the mud and reach my destination, but every single time I failed. Until one day I decided to take the old gate-keeper word and walk to the other end of the pathway. After months of walking to the other side, the pathway started to become more concrete it was strong and had a strong foundation and I was finally able to enter this a different gate.

This dream shows an interpretation where it shows that the muddy road is something that is just simply not meant for you. One example is that you wanted to become a doctor, but you do not have the required knowledge to do so therefore you start to sink while others become doctors and have a successful future. Therefore because of this we must find our passion that aligns to our ability because those are the gates that we must go. This then will lead us to a more a concrete path that will show us clearer view to our future.
