dreams of late

I have had a couple very interesting dreams lately.

The first was that I was driving on a winding road that somehow also was a very high tree branch and I lost control of my car (which I was sort of driving flippantly) in a turn, but managed to jump out and cling to a tree branch as the car disappeared. Then as I was hanging on the limb, feeling myself very likely of falling soon, a male (not sure of age) came to take my place and I somehow watched him from a safe place as he managed to easily climb up. Then me and my cousin's wife wandered around the low-land looking for him. I also think I might have been driving away from a hospital, if that means anything to you. The whole thing sounds pretty Christ-like to me.

The second dream was just last night. My sister and I were in a canoe. I was sitting in the front, and all of a sudden I see we are on the edge of a massive, sheer waterfall. Before I can even try to stop us, I feel us tip and start falling. The thing is, I know we will survive it. I see my sister quickly land in safe waters, but I stay in the canoe and make my way down more gradually. I'm kind of scared, but exhilarated by the whole thing too. I didn't remember me landing, but I remember being close. The waterfall was huge and powerful. The first thing I thought of with this is that it represents relationships; my sister was in a hurry to get married (and married a really nice guy).
