I had a dream about H this morning. I dreamed that I was sleeping in my bed, and when I got up in the morning it was raining and the roof was leaking everywhere, in the bedroom, in the living room, everywhere. There was flooding starting in places, big deep puddles behind the TV where all the wires are and in our bedroom too. I couldn't even begin to figure out where to start to contain the leaks, and I started running around, in a panic. I saw a big leak and put a little container under it and then realized that leak was outside the house (over the patio) and I needed to stop the leaks inside the house. And I felt like I had no idea what to do. I didn't want to disturb H, I felt like I shouldn't have to call him anymore now that he is gone, but I decided I had to call him because he would be able to manage it right away and he would know what to do, and I was at a complete loss. I couldn't remember his number, and I kept trying to dial and getting it wrong, and started dialing over again and again. While I trying to dial, H came in the door (behind me) and I spun around and I said (talking fast, still with panic), "I was trying to call you, I really need your help and I just didn't know what to do on my own, it was too overwhelming. It's leaking everywhere, and I think the roof in the kitchen is about to cave in - it is bowed with water." And he said, "I have been here, I was just waiting for a few minutes until you got your pants on." I looked down, and I had pants on, thick black leggings, but it also looked like I had a bulge in the crotch area (like I was a man). This surprised me when I looked down, but I didn't say anything about that to him. I thought to myself, I know I'm a woman under there, when the leggings come off it's obvious - it's the pants that create that illusion. But I said to him, "I have pants on, isn't this covered up enough for you?" and he didn't say anything, but he walked with me to the biggest leak in the kitchen where the whole roof was bowed like it was going to fall in, and he touched it with one index finger, and the roof stopped leaking and went back to it's normal position and all the leaks in the house stopped and it felt like I had witnessed God's finger reaching down from the heavens and a miracle healing had occured and I witnessed it. I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a big hug. He was just quietly standing. And then I woke up.
So I guess that about sums up the subconscious fears and vulnerabilites, the unconscious hopes and dreams and needs of PL. We'll see what the day reveals.
