Oooh dear. I was afraid of that. :)
I was already going to leave out the part about my therapist's bed if I recounted it to him, but if there's a sexual meaning to the rest that I didn't see, I'd better forget the whole thing.
I once recounted a dream to him about slugs that were chasing me around my parents' house. They would get bigger and bigger and grow a shell, then they would disgorge this quantity of puffy white cotton before becoming small and sluggy again. And I was running around the house trying to get away from them and I was really angry with my mother because she wasn't protecting me.
I presented this dream with all sincerity and innocence. My therapist could barely stifle his snort of laughter before he composed himself and told me about the obvious symbolism that I had somehow missed.
I promised myself never again to bring in a dream I didn't understand. :)
So I thank you for hinting that there is something he might pick up on that I just don't see.
