dream

I had a dream about pot holes a while back.
I went down a road (at one point against traffic) and picked up just one scoop of asphalt to drop in a hole.  There were pot holes ALL over. 
I went across the street to the store for something (I think it was something for Church) and I think it was sugar cubes.  I didn't have enough cash going in but I had this feeling / belief that everything would work out.
I realized I could have gone across the street instead of down the road with all the pot holes.
Is it easier than I think?
I didn't have to fill up all the pot holes if I just went across the street.
What do you think the pot holes represent?
Technically, what are pot holes?  Places in a road that have been eroded (faulty in the first place? or just eroded from weather, traffic, etc.?)   They force you to slow down or take a detour.  You can fix them or take a different route.
I was trying to fix these pot holes with one scoop at a time and there were lots of pot holes.  All I had to really do was just cross the street.
So, then the words to a song I had just heard came to mind as I was thinking about the dream.  About not having to fill in everything - not having to have all the answers.  The lyrics are:  "if the questions brought me here I AM who I was born to be."
Okay, so then I drift back to sleep and my girls were little (I have four daughters now young adults) and I was young and wearing a swim suit and holding the hand of my second oldest - she was about 3 or 4.  I was thinking about how I can't have enough regret to change the past.  (In other words, why regret?)
Dreams are interesting - purging our subconscious.  Often sending messages that people like me need to listen to since I THINK too much during my waking hours and I need to have messages sent when I'm not aware to over analyze.
I guess that's kind of like walking across the street instead of filling up pot holes.  Stop with the intellectualizing of life. 
I am trying to lose weight.  I gave up sugar a couple of months ago.  I am far from swim suit thin but I have always loved to swim.  Interesting how things just pop up in dreams.
