Snow Angel

Last night I dreamed that I had a walker (as in an alternative to crutches) that I had to return to the airport. I took a cab to the airport, and when I got there I was in a field of green grass at night, and it was cool outside. My mother was going to spend a night in jail for some political crime, maybe for being liberal. I thought of going to jail with her. I then thought about how the walker was missing a piece of it, and thus there was no need to return it because it was broken to the point of being unable to be fixed. I thought about how I ought to return it anyway since I spent the money and took the time to go all the way to the airport. Then I thought about how that didn't make sense to waste my time returning it, and I should just cut my losses and simply let it go, throw it out. I let go of the walker and started to follow my mom to jail, then changed my mind. I didn't have to follow my mom to jail. I didn't have to go to jail at all. I lay down in the green grass and spread my arms and legs out as if I was in the snow making a snow angel. I had let go of all of what I thought I should do and instead was doing what I wanted to do. I felt empowered. My mom looked back at me, and she wasn't upset. It was okay with her. I wondered where I would go from here but mainly I was just happy to be free, rolling in the grass. Whatever would happen, would happen.
