You may be seeing a mirror image. Look for the hidden or missing parts. The dream comes to help you find balance, the point of tension between two opposite poles. Take plenty of time. The first impression is usually what you already know.
Dreams are ahead of consciousness.
They don't come to tell you what you already know. Some dreams are meant to be lived with for years- even a lifetime. Share your dreams with care. Sharing a dream is exposing a precious, vulnerable part of yourself. Don't let others spoil your images and messages.
