I'm with Perna. Do you think there's anything "to" the fact that this guy who looks like T and has a name like T sell you a BED? To replace your marital bed? Yowza

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Yeah, but the thing is this wasn't a dream and my unconscious did not come up with this symbolism. This happened in real life. I had no control over a bald guy named 'Jack' happening to be my salesperson. I did delight in the accidental symbolism of it, but it is not something my unconscious fabricated, lol.

I have had a dream where T was in my marital bed, though. In the dream I woke up in the night to angry yelling voices down the hall. Husband was yelling at my daughters, pounding on their doors. I discovered T in the bed with me, kind of sitting propped up next to me while I had been sleeping. He was keeping guard that everything was under control with my husband. He was listening to the yelling intently, waiting to intervene at the first sign of escalation. I felt like he was protecting me and my family. I was under the covers, and he was sort of reclining on top of the covers. We had the blankets as a barrier (boundary?) between us. It was fine. I even told him this dream, but I couldn't bring myself to tell him he was in bed with me. I said to him something like, "I woke up in my bedroom and heard yelling... You were there with me." I just couldn't bring myself to say "you were in bed with me." But I think he got the picture. After I told him this dream, he said to me, "It sounds as if you feel deeply partnered to me." That is such a total therapist thing to say, it was almost funny.

Anyway, so you can see we've kind of been through the bed thing together. There is no way I am telling him that in real life a bald guy named Jack sold me a replacement for my marital bed. I'm just leaving it in the realm of amusing but meaningful real life encounters.
