> It’s good to hear from you! Glad therapy is going well and that you’ve found some helpful books. I was thinking about you last night and wondering how you were doing. So it’s nice to see you posting.
Thanks Tamar! I've been thinking about you too! ; ) How are you doing? I've tried to go back through the posts, but something (usually my 2 yo) interupts me, or needs me, so I didn't get very far.

> I find dreams fascinating. I had a very detailed dream last night that someone kidnapped my children so that I would sign away the intellectual property rights to my next movie to the kidnappers. The dream itself was ‘shot’ like a film, with clever camera and lighting techniques and occasional animations. I swear it ended with rolling credits (once I’d got the kids back, and punched the bad guys).

Ooo, that is really cool! Have you figured it out yet? Mine all seem so boring compared to that! Rolling credits? Now that's good, you must be really creative. Do you try to analyze your dreams? I thought it was interesting that the book "Inner Work: Using Dreams..." said that dreams are unconscious material trying to speak to us in the form of personally meaningful symbolic language. It talked about the anima and animus.> But most of my really interesting dreams are Animus dreams. Have you been having interesting dreams?
If you get a chance, I'd like to hear about your Amimus dreams, and what you make of them. I find this stuff fascinating.
I hadn't been remembering my dreams until I started to take an interest. When I was younger they were very vivid, and I"d remember them. Lately I've had some that were kind of interesting, some seem pretty obvious, and others it's like what the heck?! One that seemed pretty obvious to me was that I was driving on a highway. The highway was very twisty and winding, and was mostly uphill. There were lots of exits, and I was trying to find the right one, but I couldn't read the signs till just after I'd passed the exit. So I thought if I could get to this certain part of town, I could find my way, but as I tried to get there, all the exits led to the bad part of town. I was really afraid, but eventually didn't have a choice, and had to get off on an exit. As I was drving on the exit I was really afraid because I knew it led to the bad part of town, and I didn't want to go there.
That was the end of that dream, BUT I've been to that bad part of town many times in other dreams, and I have no idea what that's all about, or why I keep going there. I hate those dreams, so I'll have to work on the significance of the bad part of town, what's in it, and the people who chase me and surround me when I'm there - all men.>

Take care, talk soon,
