> First off -- I am absolutely astounded that you are able recall your dreams to vividly.
Hmm, I guess I somehow developed the habit of thinking about my dreams more when I wake up. Sometimes I used to think hard about them in hopes of going back to sleep and getting back to them. I'm a big daydreamer, too.
> Secondly -- since you are so capable of this, you really need to look into lucid dreaming! (Feel free to email me for more information and links regarding this matthew.warner@pcc.edu )
Thanks, I will. I haven't heard of this.

(Strength and That are open to your interpretation of what those skills are.)Hmmm, could be. Can't think of what it might be, other than he is generally pretty supportive of me, even when things are rough depression-wise.

> C) You recognize that nothing is perfect, even an airport wall. With its subtle differences in texture you took it upon yourself to 'adapt' to each 'variation' and 'fix' each flaw. (The adaptation could be a small outlet of a larger situation in your life that feel you aren't in control of -- but this could be a small facet of your subconcious desire to adapt to this in question...)Hmm, my dissertation comes to mind. If only I could purchase a quart of dissertation #9 and apply generously to the page. :)

> D) Almost certain the 'familiarity' between the airport employee (Especially since you made note of her being younger) reflects feelings of inadequacy regarding your relationship with your husband. Don't belittle this minor detail of the dream -- I would infact, recommend that if nothing else you bring up this detail with your current T. IMO this subtle detail semi-summates the entire dream.Really? I can be very insecure, but that seems like a secondary thing to what we have been working on. I'll have to think about this. I didn't share this dream with him. Maybe I will.
Thanks for your insights, Matt.
