Question: How does my dream shed light on our interaction?
I would very much appreciate any insight- as stripping away can be read in myriad ways. Here's the background:
In real life, I had a chance meeting with an important curator. She had already been looking at a collaborative project that I had done- in order to curate the work into a specific show. In our chance encounter I described another project that I was working on independently(beginning stages) and she invited me to show her some work from this project. This was vulnerable for me- the project is very near to my heart- but an exciting opportunity. I sent her links and written information about the project. She acknowledged initial receipt of my email, but never responded anything about the work.
Several months have passed. I feel that I exposed myself unfortunately by sharing the work prematurely- as if it shows my inexperience. Last night I went to sleep asking, why did she never respond?
Here's the DREAM:
I dreamed of an encounter with her in an apt.like place- It was almost like we were making out and then she vomited all over the floor. It was embarrassing and strange for both of us (there is no sexual attraction in real life so I take this metaphorically as a crossing of boundaries). She had to leave quickly to attend to a social/work gathering. I moved to clean up the mess. Later I saw her in a larger room that had other people, and it wasn't that awkward but more distant.
I'm not sure if I should read this cast as stripping away of the association with her altogether, or if it is a removal of the blockage in the communication. It's possible that the reading is telling me- forget about her- pick yourself up and move on with your enthusiasm to continue your project. Any thoughts?
