Dr. Boo

The Dreamer is inside the office of his dog’s veterinarian, Doctor Boostrom.

There is some unknown conversation, then the Dreamer and Dr. Boo are coordinating to carpool. Then the Dreamer is gathering some clothes from Dr. Boo’s office. Then the Dreamer makes a political statement. Dr. Boo looks perplexed. Then the Dreamer talks with excitement about "experiments in neuroeconomics”. Then Dr. Boo shows interest. Then the Dreamer is in the car, in the driver’s seat. Dr. Boo is outside the vehicle. Then the Dreamer reaches into the backseat for a bottle of water. The backseat is messy, with laundry on the floor.

Context: We have been seeing Dr. Boostrom for our dog, Charlie, and before that for our dog Wexley. I used to study neuroscience and was interested in neuroeconomics.

Motifs: Car + pool are separate recurring symbols associated with tension and relaxation. Clothes are associated with persona. Water, unconscious.

Associations: Dr. Boostrom, a fair, young, balanced doctor with good bedside manner — probably an ESTJ type

Feelings: excitement

Interpretation: This is a dream about the judging function. The Dreamer is making an effort to engage his scientific mind, to get in the driver’s seat for this function, and political science doesn’t quite “quench his thirst” like a subject such as neuroeconomics.
