I agree w/ Arios and Wonderdog. Very insightful - I will not try to go into the "which disaster was it" discussion - other than to say I don't think it matters. I don't know exactly what he is saying about the disaster or the relationship, but the fact that he put forth that metaphor is brilliant already.
And if you really think about it, the awful emotional pain he describes in the France/coast dream, about the guilt and horror you might feel to try to shed something like that - to be used as a way to bring insight into a relationship - is exceptionally, creatively, and profoundly insightful.
We all see and hear of stories of pain and death at sea, on land, in history, throughout time...and yet - some of the most extreme, real, unimaginable pain is what we go through in our emotions, such as when we are in a tumultuous relationship.
