Okay, here's one of two dreams I've had recently that seem rich with therapy fodder, that I referred to in a thread above. I'm a little fuzzy on the order of things since it's been several days now.
In this one, I was staying at my mother's house. (Of course it was not at all like her real house or any past one, but that's how dreams go.) My sister and I were sharing a room as usual. This room was kind of like a basement, because it seemed like it had at least one cement block wall, and I remember hearing rustling from the corner, where there was kind of like some dead leaves and other stuff like you might find in a corner of the garage.
I had the window open, and I could see my brother out in a car, with I think a girl. I think they were out smoking pot or something (now he's 40, so really, what's my problem?). But anyway, I called the police and asked them to "evict" him from the house. (guess I couldn't just vote him off, eh?). I remember telling that this wasn't just because of whatever he was doing in the car...it was for this and that and the other...all kinds of things I apparently thought he screwed up.
The other part of the dream...can't remember if this was first or after bro was evicted...involved me wanting to run a bath. I was screaming and screaming at my mom, because I couldn't get any hot water to come out of the tap. I kept trying to yell, "How can you not have hot water????" Only I wasn't really making much sound. For whatever reason, it wasn't like real yelling. Not silent, but not able to hear it, either.
Mostly I just remember being really really angry in this dream. My T and I discussed it, and he came up with some almost prototypical psychobabble (no pun intended) as an interpretation. Kinda surprised me, because he's not one to fall into stereotypical interpretations. But it did make sense, too.
So, what do y'all think? I can share his opinion too, but I don't want to prime anyone beforehand.
