Owen SterlingA retainer not fitting in a dream signifies a failure of the internal mechanisms used to manage expression and social boundaries. The brain is processing a mismatch between the necessary constraints of a situation and the capacity to maintain them, suggesting that the usual methods of self-regulation are currently inadequate for the demands being faced.
This friction between impulse and control indicates that the psychological structures used to hold back certain thoughts or reactions are losing their effectiveness. When these boundaries fail to meet the demands of the environment, the dreamer encounters a vulnerability in what is communicated or withheld. The difficulty in maintaining this composure is a sign that the current strategies for emotional or verbal containment are being outgrown or are no longer functional. Instability in how information is filtered exists, yet this tension provides the necessary signal that a new way of managing interaction is required.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
