"I was in some kind of parking lot, though I don't know why I was there. Someone I couldn't see clearly shot me in the side. I remember feeling the impact more than pain, like getting hit hard, and I fell against a car. I kept thinking, I'm not dead, and I could still move, so I started crawling behind the car. There was blood on my shirt but not as much as I thought there should be. I remember being more worried about my phone than anything else, like I needed to call someone but I didn't know who. Then I was inside somewhere, sitting on the floor while someone pressed a towel against my side. They kept telling me I was going to be okay, but I couldn't see their face. I woke up with my hand on my side, still half expecting it to hurt."

Hidden Emotions and Symbols

✦ Parking Lot

Represents a transitional, impersonal space where you feel aimless or between destinations.

✦ Unseen Shooter

Reflects a hidden or unacknowledged source of emotional injury that strikes without warning.

✦ Crawling Behind The Car

Indicates a primal survival instinct and the urge to seek shelter from further harm.

✦ Phone

Wisdom

The wound you carry may come from nowhere you can name, but your instinct to move and hide shows you are already surviving. When you cannot see who is helping you, trust the pressure of the towel and the voice that says you will be okay—healing often arrives without a face.
