Burst Into Flames: A Parable
Page 16
That night Blake didn't sleep well. His dreams just never would let him completely let his weight down. The first dream that woke him involved Elaine and Becky fighting in the grocery store. There was something about a disagreement about the price of canned peaches that turned into a wrestling match.
He was disturbed by a dream in which God was speaking to him while he was trying to give a presentation at work. Everybody in the room was laughing at him, because they couldn't hear anything. Even though he knew it was God speaking, he couldn't understand a word of it. He woke this time feeling inadequate and foolish.
He woke, again, after a dream where he was getting romantic with Elaine in the mountain cabin where they had their honeymoon, but she turned into Becky and slapped him. When she slapped him, he looked up and they were on some sort of a stage in front of a big audience and members of the press taking pictures.
The dreams just kept coming. Real rest was not available this night. Blake was almost grateful when the alarm clock went off.
