HIGH OF LOWS

I had a dream recently, and in this dream… someone mentioned to me that they are more terrified of the “high of lows”.

First thing that came to mind was “are we talking about getting high when you are feeling low?” But then, I realized that it seemed deeper than that.

Now, I usually forget dreams, but I made sure I got back to this realm with that statement at the top of my mind. And after pondering for what felt like hours and hours of trying to make sense of what seemed like gibberish, I figured it out. Or, at least I think I did.

And this is the text I wrote on my WhatsApp the moment I made sense of it in my head.

The high of lows:

This is the point where you think you've hit bottom, but you haven't, and you're about to fall further.

The false stability before a crash

Kind of like standing at the edge of a low (like depression, failure, or vulnerability), but still high enough within it that the fall is imminent.

It is a state where both coexist: high within a low, which is unstable and destined to fall.

And that is when it clicked. That false stability is what is scarier, because it gives the false hope that is it over, only for you to realise that it was in-fact, just the beginning.

Unfortunately, I have no comforting words after these depressing words. That’s all I got from the dream. When I get more information that can give you hope, I’ll make sure I share it as soon as I decipher it.

A bientôt
