Ahead of the Road You’re On

Some dreams arrive quietly. Others come in sharp, symbolic images that you don’t shake off, even hours after waking.

 

Mine was the second kind.

 

I was driving an Aventador.

Light in colour. Sleek. Effortless.

The kind of machine that carries a certain energy… even when it’s barely moving.

 

But the road beneath it?

Crowded. Slow. Restrained.

Full of signs telling me to hold back, wait, ease off, stay within the lines.

 

It didn’t match the car.

And that mismatch was the whole point.

 

There was this moment, not dramatic, not overwhelming,

just a clear awareness:

 

“There is more power here than this road will ever allow.”

 

Not fear.

Not uncertainty.

You’re not stuck.

You’re simply ahead of your surroundings.

 

And instead of forcing it, the message felt different:

 

Hold the wheel.

Stay steady.

Let the road catch up.

 

There’s a chapter coming where the pace shifts,

where the space widens,

where the conditions match the capability.

 

I didn’t wake up feeling blocked.

I woke up feeling ready.

 

Ready for alignment.

Ready for expansion.

Ready for a lane that actually fits the engine.

 

Dreams don’t always give answers.

Sometimes they just show you the truth in a way you can’t ignore.

 

And this one did exactly that
