The leaky faucet...

I have had this recurring dream and/or thought.  I share it not because it means anything in particular to me, but in the hopes it may mean something to someone else.

I see a faucet that has a bucket underneath.  The bucket has a hole in it.  I need water in the bucket, so I have to let the water run.  But the faucet leaks (and alternately slows), so I have to continuously adjust the faucet to keep enough water in the bucket.

I cannot rest.  The faucet may slow down or speed up.  I cannot just turn it up or down on the chance it will slow down or speed up, because the faucet is random (or seemingly so).  I cannot just go fix the faucet because the bucket has a hole in it.  I can't just go get another bucket, because I need to keep water in the bucket.

Working the faucet works.  It is just so much....work.
