Thank you bitfiend for this post. I too work hard at dream recall and do keep a notebook and pen nearby, although I have been lazy as late. I think what you are doing is important, logging and sharing your dreams. Of course as you mentioned our 'real' lives influence our dreams greatly, and on a personal level much can be gleaned for your benefit. But I too have been experiencing dreams of looking for my clothes! Exposed as you say!
Makes me wonder how many others out there are looking for their gitch. I hope your issue with the liars is resolved soon for you, perhaps if you confront them, call them out? Turn and face that T-rex! But what do I know, I just joined up here and have yet to post anything, hence my cred has yet to be established! I hope you keep on keeping on.
