On the heels of another bout of maddening insomnia, I have been having big-time anxiety dreams now that sleep no longer eludes me (but now rest eludes me *sigh*). The other night I dreamt that I was cleaning my ear with a Q-tip and wax came pouring out of my ears (sorry, gross / TMI). So I looked up the dream interpretation and it says:

To dream that you are cleaning wax from your ears, suggests that
you are not listening to those around you. There may be something
that you are refusing to hear. Are you turning a deaf ear?

I have always thought of myself as a good listener. Am I fooling myself? This dream aside, recent life events have given me pause…
