Hurt and Sadness


Someone asked me about his heart that hurts and his lungs that hurt when he woke up from a dream middle of the night.  He felt he had no heart or lungs.  He was afraid to go back to sleep.  The 1st thing that came up for me was to telling him about my personal experience of being choked while I was sleeping, then I talked about dreams I have had.  He told me he felt as if he died and then came back.  This experience consumed him.  He was trying to digest it.  Then I talked about the heart is a place for sadness and happiness wondering if he can distinguish in this life sadness depression connected to a personal memory?  There is also collective sadness you can feel from people around you.  There is also universal sadness like Hurricane Katrina etc…
