I’ve been having a lot of dreams lately co-starring someone I used to know.  At one point during therapy back in North Jersey, we’d discussed what this person represented, and it essentially came down to me, or the aspects of myself that I denied or didn’t like.  Over the last couple of weeks, this person has been a major part of at least 5 dreams (five I remember) and all of them have been unpleasant.  This one this morning involved having situations and responsibilities thrust upon me that I didn’t want, and this person getting upset and angry because I always got the things she wanted.  The centaur boyfriend (he loved me, I didn’t want him following me around all moony-eyed, and certainly didn’t want to try to explain him to my husband) an infant who dropped out from my shirt (no time to prepare for a baby, not ready to drop everything to take care of a surprise baby), and bunches of people trying to get my attention to ask for advice, while I’m chasing this baby around (who has suddenly become mobile and dangerous to itself).  There was a house that was a horrible mess that I was supposed to decorate even though I’d sold it to someone else.  And the whole time, this person is following me around, crying, “You always get the hot guys.  You got to have a baby.  You’re so popular.  Your house is always nice, and I don’t even have a house. . .”etc.  Clearly, I have some issues.  I think I might have a handle on what some of it means, but not all of it.  It didn’t make for a pleasant mindset for the day, though.
