I was speaking to my husband. As I did, I cleaned my ears. I pulled out very large pieces of ear wax from each ear. The wax was actually like hard rocks, ugly and brown. The rock wax from the right ear was at least twice as big as the rock wax from the left ear. I commented on this to my husband. He watched and said nothing.

SIGNIFICANT SYMBOLS:

Talking/Speaking-communicating.

Husband- actual husband or what he represents to me.  Suggests literal aspects of the relationship with one’s husband.

Ears- associated with listening or the need to be heard. Could indicate openness or receptivity or the lack of it.

Left- receptive, open-minded, liberal.  The unconscious part of one’s self.

Right- may indicate a proper choice, good judgment, or a correct direction.  Fixed, conservative.

Brown- associated with the earth or the material world.

Ear Wax- a blockage to listening or being receptive.

Rock- difficulties that need to be overcome or gone around.

I am communicating (talking) with my actual husband. In the process, I clean out (take out of ear) blockages to my receptivity (ear wax) of difficult (rock), materialistic (brown) ideas that others are saying (ears). I have more difficulty with conservative ideas (right) as compared to liberal ideas (left). My husband notices I am being more receptive.

In other words, I am becoming more receptive to ideas that I would not have listened to before. I am able to hear these ideas and consider them instead of rejecting them outright. This is true of conservative and liberal ideas. It appears I have had more difficulty with conservative ideas. This new openness is observed by my husband.
