My life has been really chaotic lately, with my various obligations overlapping in terms of time and some personal drama. I've been having a hard time finding a balance and peace of mind and it's really showing up in my dreams.
I haven't been remembering my dreams particularly well, but I have been waking up with a general sense of busy in the dreams -- too many people doing too many things in a tension with each other. Lots of conflict, lots of anger and stress, no order, no control.
The one snippet I remember is an argument with my Other Half, but surprisingly, he was accusing me of all the things that frustrate me about him. I don't remember the specifics, but I found the role reversal really interesting. Perhaps I needed to feel what it was like to be him in order to understand the effect of my own frustrations?
It was enlightening, if somewhat confusing.

Don't people spend lots of time and money in counselling trying to communicate and understand where their partner is coming from. I think if you can 'bottle' the ability to have a dream where you get to understand the other persons point of view.. (maybe a book on how to lucid dream it?), then you may have lot of irate therapists looking for you but you will have done a lot for the world and the happiness of couples :) .. oh, and it could even make you some dough. But before I get too nonsensical, I have to say I think having that in your dream was funny and v. interesting and maybe you could at least use the premise in your own fiction...

Very interesting. Your dream is helping you understand the other side of the argument, which is something which may not have occurred had you been awake and thinking of it. Dreams are helpful sometimes.
