Eyes of Blue that is a fantastic dream interpretation and spot on too. Thank you for that analysis. You hit on some interesting points used in DBT too, about using the Wise Mind to solve problems, rather than just the Rational Mind or Emotional Mind. In DBT, the Wise Mind is a balance between the Emotional Mind and the Rational Mind.

I wouldn't have made that connection about my situation, without the help of your dream analysis of my dream. It now makes total sense to me how I got into my situation. The timing is eerie too, because I just started a 3 month MBSR (mindfulness based stress reduction) course which I hope will help me connect to my Wise mind about my situation (and well, my life in general). So, thank you for your thoughtful analysis of my dream. It really helped.
