When I reached the top of the stairs there was a space so that I would have to let go of the stair that I was clutching in order to reach the plateau I was climbing to.  I stretched one arm out towards the platform, maybe I could pull myself up but I was racked with fear and shame.

Upon waking, I recalled enough of the dream to relay it to a close friend.  “You just need to let go” she said.  Have faith and trust.  Maybe I will fall but I need to let go to take the step.
