Can you tell us about your weird dreams and any symbolic or metaphorical things in them?

Sure!

1. I kept hearing a lot about the “cuckold’s wife” meme, and kept dreaming about a “cuckold’s wife” avatar who appeared from a light, or from the corner of my eye, or in my peripheral vision at various times (though this happened more than the other images). It was kind of creepy looking, it was like a cartoon “evil eye” with a white orb in the center, on a black background. I remember the orb looking kind of like an inverted cross.

2. A lot of my dreams involved a very elaborate, intricate, almost comic-book-y battle. “I” (me in the dream) was usually in some kind of large, elaborate armored vehicle. There were explosions, missiles, rockets, missiles exploding etc. on all sides. Sometimes the battle would seem to go on and on. (This is what most dreams are like, but even in my dreams, this battle is the only thing that stays clearly in my memory.)

3. I was always trying to make some sort of bizarre thing work (a project, a conversation, a new idea, etc.). The best way I could describe it would be “it was like I had to work my way into a really complex situation, like something out of a novel that is basically about two groups of people who are constantly arguing with each other and keep each other at a distance” (not that I dreamed it in words, but that’s how it came across to me). This also had a kind of sexual element, in that the “project” would always (at least in my dreams) involve a woman, and it would feel like a sexual act of some sort – like I had to use my mind to “think” it into existence, rather than merely imagining it. (I guess this could be explained by the fact that I had a lot of dreams featuring sexual content – but it doesn’t explain my dreams about elaborate battle scenes, which were totally asexual.)

3. I had some dreams where I was a dog, and a lot of the time, the people involved were really concerned about being seen in public with me, because dogs (in the dream) are common in certain public areas and could be “misinterpreted.”
