I had a weird dream last night in which I was upstairs in our house eating wet cat food. It was yucky and gross, but for some reason, I kept eating it until I heard my wife feeding the cat downstairs. Then I got it in my head that he should eat the food I was eating instead of opening a new can. What could this mean? — Alex

From Lauri: In real life, have you recently realized that a behavior you were doing was unnecessary, something that did not involve your wife? In the dream, you heard her open a can, at which point you realized what you were doing was unnecessary. This could mean that in real life you might have listened to something your wife has been trying to get through to you; you heard her point of view. Can you connect that to anything recently?
