THE DREAM I was with someone. There was a fish in some kind of bucket or something. I open up this hole and suddenly the fish escapes. Instead of flowing onto the floor the fish turns into some kind of gaseous substance. It pervades throughout the room. I wake up and the dream continues. It was absolutely gross and disgusting. The fish is everywhere.

The day before he had made a real attempt to talk about the issue but couldn't. He was bottling up the issue and had been seeking counselling for this.
