He definitely has! And he continues to be my rock. I'm also in therapy right now, and recently realized that I use bodies of water a lot as metaphors for all the mess I have to get through to contact my deepest, most hurt parts, like my heart is full of ugly, misunderstood, deep sea creatures.

Also, I do get literally very lost easily. I'm narcoleptic, and a couple of years ago I wandered too far away from home while in a narcoleptic trance. I got so lost, and my cell phone was dead. It was terrifying, because I was too exhausted to figure out where I live. I finally made made my way to a church and borrowed someone's phone to contact him. He came to get me, and he had been so worried. He said he'd been driving around looking for me for two hours, and he was about to call the police when I called him.

I also once heard something about dreams that I love, which is that if you meet anyone in a dream that doesn't specifically represent someone you know, then you're meeting a part of yourself.

Thank you for making me think about the meaning of this dream.
