But if you ask me, that’s not what you dream is about.
I think you feel like you are losing control of your life. Your kids are leaving the nest and making decisions not involving you that you may not even like. Maybe your wife is making decisions without your input. And perhaps its slowly dawning on you that at this point your life’s trajectory is pretty well set. Sure you could move, buy a different car, etc but for the most part the amount of $$ you have to adjust course is fixed.
And perhaps your driving skills are starting to degrade just a bit.
Why do I say this? I’m pretty much in the same spot. Slowly it has been dawning on me that my choices are pretty limited. Even at work.
The ink isn’t dry yet, but the chapters of my life are at least penciled in at this point. I’m not sure how I feel about all of this. Not sure at all.
