"Hi, _________.

"I just had a dream:

"My wife was lying down, hair unkempt, eyes wide open, wider than usual, with dark circles around them, glaring at me, unblinking.  She wasn't saying anything.  She was just looking at me and she looked exhausted.

"There was a profuse of drool emanating from the right side of her mouth that created a thick sheen across her neck and chest.  It was like when one drank from a pitcher and clumsily spilled everything on one's neck and torso.

"The dream wasn't a succession of events.  It was just an image of her I saw.

"Your thoughts, please.

"Salamat po.

My reply:

Hi _______!

This was but a mere metaphor of your actual dislike of her. In the image, she appears as a murder victim or a murder-victim-to-be. Water is a symbol of emotion, and what you saw reflects her inability to take in your feelings.for her.

Do not be disturbed. Everyone sees such fleeting images, which is good--when something is expressed or projected on the mental level, it is because it will not be expressed or projected on the physical level.

Writers have a safety gauge for this, which is to channel the energy into poetry.
