I had a dream last night that I went into therapy with a magic rope. I told my therapist that he had to hold one end and I'd hold the other. That way he could pull me back when I was in too deep. But then his wife came in and was really angry at me. She wouldn't let him hold the rope, she said it was dangerous and he would get pulled in, not pull me out. He decided to tie the rope to something solid in his office (I don't know what). But when he did that, I went to a place of nothing - I was lost and walking and had no idea where I was or how to get back. There was only grey nothingness.
I told him the dream today. He said, "beyond the obvious interpretation, can you relate all the characters in the dream back to yourself?" So I tried to figure out which part of me he was, and which part his wife was and which part was the me lost. Turns out that much of the dream was about being alone and the acute loneliness that comes with telling.
I hate having a subconscious - don't you?
