Subject: I watched my brother die

I was with my younger brother and sister in a park somewhere with some other people. My brother and sister were both 12 years younger than they are now* (See note).

My brother was in a chair with a whole heap of helium balloons were tied to it. Soon the chair was lifting off the ground.

It was funny at first but then my brother was floating too high to get off the chair and the breeze picked up and he was floating away.

I started to panic and run after the chair and him. I was petrified of losing sight of him. I had not even thought of how to get him down. I just knew I had to keep him in my sight.

At this point my brother jumped off.

For a moment I was both myself and him and I was somewhere just outside his body.

I saw him fall and felt his fear. I heard the thump as his body hit the floor and slightly bounced then rested totally still.

I woke with a strange feeling of total helplessness.

Note:

* 12 years ago was when out mother died.

I am not at all close to my brother.

Is it that I feel my life is out of control?

Hi Chris, could this possibly mean that whatever your brother represented to you at that time is dying within you???

Or that whatever emotions you experienced in relation to him at that time in your life are being released???

As for your question re being out of control, do you feel your life is out of control???

Guess you may need to look at what helium balloons meant to you.

Is it time to rise above a certain situation in your life and just let go of anything you've been hanging onto mentally or/and emotionally, that you feel tied or bound to and that you don't really want to lose sight of???

Should you be close to your brother - dunno, I took "should" out of my vocabulary ages ago. I have 5 brothers and like most people in my life they come and they go. Guess it depends on whether you want to be close to him or not but it's always a two way street hey.

Well ..at present my life does kind of seem out of control....... maybe Its time I did actually let go and abandon my fears.....I think I m too afraid of not having enough money to do what I really like.......well actually ...I never have enough money to do the things I really want..Im actually only just surviving........ As for my brother..........I guess I have a lot of feelings attatched to that time in my life....not neccesarily to him.....If I did let go of those feelings....it would be a gigantic step for me.....maybe its time to start trying......... Who knowws what will happen Consequently.....helium balloons have alwys puzzled me.......some kids love them but others are so afraid of them ........ I always dremt that they could take me somewhere fantastic............Maybe Ive reached that fantastic place???????
