The Dream: I am lying on a bed. I put my head into a long
tube and scream. My father comes into the room and asks me if I scream often.
“No, I say, “this is the only time I ever screamed.”
“Heart attack,” he says.
“Well,” I say, “you’d better take me to the hospital.”
All dither around. No one seems to grasp the urgency of the
situation. Someone asks if I feel any pain, and I say, “Only some tightness in
my chest.”
Interpretation: I’ve got my head up my ass (in a long tube).
There’s something emotionally painful (attack in the region of the heart) that
I’m refusing to see. I need some help (the hospital) in order to get this off
my chest.
