Pounding in my chest

Last night I had such a powerful dream that it shocked me when I woke up to actually feel the dampness around my eyes. I hadn't had one of those dreams in a long time and in reality it wasn't even that meaningful.

To make it relatively short...I will start at the point where I was in the car with two of my cousins. They got out to go buy a movie ticket or something of the sort and I stayed in the car. Suddenly two men got into the car and started threatening me, saying they were going to kidnap me. I told them I had money in dollars (which are really hard to find in Venezuela right now) and that if they wouldn't kidnap me I would give it to them. They started driving but I decided that it was not a good idea for them to know where I lived so I told them to drop me off at the police station that we were passing. I threw the money at them and got out of the car running towards where the police chief was. I saw my grandmother there because she had been worried about me and I began crying and telling the police that I had been kidnapped. 

For some reason he refused to believe me and I got extremely frustrated and told him I just wanted him to take me home with my grandmother. He told me he had to open an investigation and he made us all go back to the places I had been before I was kidnapped to check if people had seen me. Finally after going through all of that he realized it was true and he took my grandmother and me home. In the car I turned around and touched my grandmother's knee crying saying how glad I was that she was there. 

And then I woke up.

So yes...apparently I have some issues with feeling threatened or something of the sort. 

This dream, however, made me realize even more how strongly my grandmother evokes those feelings of safety and comfort for me. She used to take care of me all the time when I was little, and honestly adoring her is short of what I feel for her. Recently she has been relatively ill and being so far away has made it really hard for me, but I stay so busy all of the time that I get these sudden moments as reminders that I need to take advantage of her presence because it is golden for me.
