>I was surprised and puzzled and concerned that I could have done such a thing.
>It truly seemed alarming to me that I could have forgotten to dress, not to mention making it outside and mowing half the lawn before noticing.Ok. So what would it mean to you if you had managed to do all that without noticing?
That you had really lost it?
Like your Aunt?
Just wondering whether that may be the connection there.>I was somewhat surprised (in the dream) that his family didn't mind a patient coming over, but actually they were quite cordial and not at all surprised. They seemed quite nice.
> I'm walking through his house to his bedroom, and sitting on his bed telling him about it.
> And I was also surprised (in the dream) that his bed was unmade. Because he seems the sort to make his bed.
>No particularly sexual overtones. More like my sitting on my parents bed talking to them.Maybe that stuff is about him being open and honest and trustworthy?
Because his family is there and they don't see anything strange with it.
Because the bed is unmade so he is 'being himself'
You are getting his honest response.> We walk over to the lawn,
Is that because he finds it hard to believe that you could have done such a thing?
>but it shows no sign of having been mowed so he tells me that the whole thing must have been a dream because clearly the lawn hasn't been mowed at all.
Hmm.> I suspect the fact that the lawn really hasn't been mowed and the whole thing must have been a dream or my imagination means something. But I'm not sure what.
How did you feel when he told you you must have dreamed it?
Relieved?
Sceptical?
Confused?Did you believe him or not?
If mowing the lawn without pants was a dream within a dream...
Then at what point (in the dream) did you wake up from the dream about mowing the lawn????
I think that might be important...
