This reminds me of something with my former therapist. I told him a dream I had. In it I was in the hospital, on a table with doctors looking down at me discussing me. I had a deep gash and they were deciding if it pays to stitch it. One said if they stitch it there will always be a scar, and if they leave it alone it will heal and there will be a scar, so they didn't know if it paid to bother to treat it. I had been beginning to entertain termination at the time and told my therapist I thought it related to that, that whether I continue or not, the emotional wounds I have will always still be there. He said he thought maybe it was sexual and the wound was a vagina. This really surprised me. Why would a wound make him think of a vagina? I asked is he saying that because of the psychoanalytic premise that when a girl realizes boys have something she doesn't she thinks hers got cut off - does he think of women as mutilated men? He said no, but couldn't tell me what his interpretation would then be.
