I had a weird dream last night that i want to share here. My t and I talked yesterday about dissociated or disowned parts of me. . .and I am wondering if the images in the dream could be symbolic of these parts of me.

I go outside and see a small bird. It wants badly to get inside the house, and to crawl on me. It manages to attach to my shirt, and i have a hard time trying to gently dislodge it. When I set it down, I realize it is hungry but i don't have any food to give it. After this, i wander around the yard, where i see big spiders and a lizard. I avoid them because they scare me. I go back into the house.

Once inside the house, I find that the door will not stay shut. It keeps opening. Then, an egg appears on the floor. It is out of its shell (just the yolk and white). It begins following me around the room. I'm startled and rather afraid, and I try to avoid it. But it keeps following me, slithering around on the floor after me wherever i go. Eventually, i give up and let the egg come to rest near me. The next thing i know, the egg is gone, and there is a little boy sitting next to me instead. He has a tear-stained face and seems "out of it." He tells me about something bad that 2 other boys did to him, and he is very distressed. I feel sorry for him and reassure him that what happened to him is not his fault. He feels a little bit better, though still feeling that he was to blame.

Does it sound like the images could be representing disowned parts of self?
