Dr. Alok Kanojia (Dr. K)

Like, how do I deal with this?

And this is where she taught me kind of a methodology to work with dreams, which I think is like really, really effective and ties to what is really happening in your brain.

Okay.

So the first thing is that the symbols in the dream.

are relevant to your life.

So the key question that you need to ask yourself is what is this?

What is the significance of this thing to me?

So I don't really buy as much that these archetypal symbols that losing your teeth means death for everybody.

It may be a sign of mortality for some, but like,

The symbology in your dream is your brain's way of trying to communicate a concept to you.

So here's what happened with the patient.

So it turned out that her husband was in the process of had just found a buyer and was trying to like exit the company.

Right.

So he's like really, really stressed out.

Work is really hard.

And so like he's like stressed out.

And so she sort of realized that, OK, he's like flying this plane.

It's messing up our personal life.

And the kind of conclusion that we came to is like, if I can support him in the best way, if I can take care of shit, even if things get bumpy and if even if things get like really, really bad, my job is to make sure that our kids are taken care of.

It's going to be hard on me.
