I don't remember many of the specifics of this dream from last night, however I will do my best to recall.

I am not getting along well with my family. I am being offensive, throwing water on people and creating a flood in the house that is damaging the house. The more I do this, the less sympathy I get from my family. I feel trapped. For some reason I can't stop being destructive, but the more destructive I am the less sympathy I get, and the less sympathy I get the more destructive I get. I wish desperately that someone would care about me or see my trap.

Then I meet a teenage boy. He isn't someone from real life, but feels very much like I'm a teenager and meeting another friend, it has that kind of friend feeling to it. He shows me a device he is designing. It's hard to describe, but it has a handle and it sends out a laser beam. It looks a bit like a ray gun, but I have a clearer association to some kind of medical device that optometrists would use to measure your eyes. There's a pair of these, two of them. Also he seems at this point like a real-life friend who designs headphone equipment, because he is the designer and entrepreneur of a company that will manufacture this device (I have a real life friend who does that for a living), and headphones always come in pairs. I study the design and comment on how it's a very simple and clever use of materials. He wants my help in setting up his company.

So that's what I remember. I will comment that it's a recurring dream for me that I'm being destructive with my family and getting no sympathy and feeling blamed, and that I'm out of control and that the less sympathy I get the more out of control I feel. I believe this relates to my early childhood, in which I was envious of the attention my younger brother got, but my parents were angry at me and kept shaming me, and I got very angry at my younger brother and angry inside about how I was being treated.
