Background: I am not a fan of our current President, or this war. I think my therapist is not only a republican, but is a fan of the president, sigh. In a few posts to babblers, I remember using language like "My brain is at war" --- something like that.
The dream: It feels like I'm watching a documentary and at other times, I feel I'm there. My therapist is in Iraq to motivate the troops and brings a peaceful message. It's weird seeing her outside her office, in Iraq of all places. I'm scared for her as she walks down broken-up streets and store fronts. I think to myself (the only time I have ever thought this) "I'm glad our military is here to protect her." She goes to a military base to speak to the troops, I'm on the sidelines listening too. I roll my eyes now and then when she says certain things (can't remember what) and then she notices an insurgent in the crowd. T reaches out to him and holds his hand, looking into his eyes. She says, "You're here today looking for peace. You bring hope to this nation, hope for the future." I roll my eyes again, doesn't she know he is the enemy. Her speech is over, applause, then she goes to shake President Bush's hand (who just happens to be there too for a nice photo op). My t is so excited that he has come, so excited to meet the President and he barely gives her pause. I can tell her feelings are hurt and I feel badly for her.
Then in real life, my son wakes me up, telling me he had a nightmere.
Any thoughts?
