yalom dream

i dreamt i met yalom he came to help me. i was in an examining room which which had the feeling of being common to me. it was not new or elitist, just very common. the floor and walls were white tile and there was a small window. i felt nervous in my inspirations presence. i talked and told him of my current condition with complete candor. it felt so strange and enthralling to be so open and honest. he was reassurring. we went outside and we were both shirtless. this seems like it should have felt odd but we seemed to both be in this together and there was complete openess... a kind rarely experienced in life. he was helping me to be completely open, naked if you will, and own my feelings. he used a device to bring light on my chest which gave it a sort of stamp. it said vol 1. His message to me was clear. your past is fine, this is a new day before you, embrace it and live anew.

(i met with my counselor yesterday and i have been reading a book by yalom which i believe influenced this dream. i awoke feeling so inspired)
