Hey Jade, what can we help you with?

Well, here's the thing is, wife oftentimes likes to share her dreams that she has at night, which is wonderful because my wife is a pretty shy person and I want to be a good

husband who listens but I think what happens when my wife is telling me relating her dreams is that part in your brain that kind of blocks out things that like when you're driving you know you pay attention to the traffic signals and the stop signs but you don't pay

attention to the other things around you I think that kind of blocks because I can't really picture

my wife's dreams uh... what's your wife's name?

Bonnie.

So, I mean, I think that there, you know, there's one thing people always say is, you know,

share a dream, lose a reader.

Like, it's kind of a notorious thing that's hard to listen to or hard to read.

Oh, well, good, because I, my brother said there's kind of no way that I'm going to come out of this looking good that I ask a question on how to how to listen to my wife's dreams, but I appreciate that. Maybe I'm maybe I'm not alone in this.

I also think your brother could still be right.

Well, that'd be all right.

Maybe if I get a little correction here, that'd be fine too.

Jade, is there a particular dream you can kind of tell us about that Bonnie's told you that was tough for you?

Boy, um, well therein lies the issue. No, not really

a dream and all I can think is I love this woman so much

he's born me a child and but I'm much like my brain doesn't engage with the story that she's telling me.
