Hi, WishfulThinker, thank you for sharing your dream. My first thought was of the "bluebird of happiness" and I wonder if you have any connections with that?

The accidentally marred/destroyed feeling too. . . maybe you have a problem you are blaming yourself for but you aren't to blame, it was an accident and you should be lighter on yourself. That your boyfriend is the "other" (I am making the assumption you are female) and you have two bluebirds and you are at odds; I think you're both the female/male two, you have a accidentally/destroyed, and you have two sides of a fight. That you use "accidentally" and are defending yourself against the complaining/upset half I find positive?
