Dear Therapist,I had another rough dream last night. Somehow I was laying down -- pinned down by a guy who had a knife at my back. Across the way was another guy with a knife pointed at my son Alex.
The guy next to me casually dropped his knife and I quickly picked it up. I figured the power turned.
"Go ahead and stab me," the guy says. "Then perhaps you can win a battle with the guy over there. Just think of this, though: he'll kill your kid before he does battle with you."
I froze.
"I know you think his (Alex's) life is more valuable than mine so I know you won't make a move."
So, what's this one mean?
Another protection dream, sure. But what was I supposed to do? What was I supposed to say? Of course I thought my kids' life was more valuable than this thug's. What does that say about me?
