Escargot

I'm on the telephone, ready to make a call when a women's voice comes on. She is talking to someone in the background, asking them if escargot causes stomach aches. She then speaks in the phone saying, hey, do you want to come out and have escargot, a few people are coming out, and then he answers. And I don't hear if he says yes or not, but I interject, saying I'm on the phone too. I had just picked it up to make a call and then there you both were. And I'd already been invited to come for escargot, and I don't like the idea of you two being there together. I'd like some respect. I'd like it if you could wait, we aren't even divorced yet. So there is this hemming and hahing over the wire. She isn't agreeing to what I'm saying. And then I'm cutting my hair. It is very long. And then he is there and I'm cutting his hair. I don't really want to cut his hair. So there is no conclusion about the party or anything else. The thing I can't understand is why his voice is so low. It bothers me, and finally I ask him, what happened to your voice? He says, it just dropped one day. I don't know why. We are at the door. He walks out.

 

Interpretation: This is an example of a dream directly relating to reality. My husband is seeing other people, so we are in the process of divorce. The part about the hair also is from a activity we would do: I would cut his hair and I cut my own. The interesting thing about hair is that it is a symbol of power. In this dream the power I have is not true power. I can cut his hair and mess it up and I can tell her not to come to the party. Neither of these things changes our life together. We are finished. I'm not sure the dream points this out. But when I woke I realized I was doing the same old thing again, wishing he was with me instead of going away.
