I had a dream last night that S* was clearing out his stuff from the Jura shop desk

It was a hollow victory in my dream.

I felt that S* retreated from my genuine interest, not from a ‘fight’. But that my interest was perceived by others as a challenge. My intention wasn’t at any time to drive him away, but only to become interested.

In my dream, I was glad and sad. Mostly sad because I didn’t mean to make someone leave, just wanted to destroy their authority over me!

But is that naïve?
