Mitch,
The first part of your interpretation is partially true. But whereas the woman could represent a negative it would be so only if I were to neglect the positive, and only if my higher feminine aspect {my mother} provided some emphasis that she was a negative. What makes me believe this to be true is because the positive fits more so than the negative. Normally I would look at something behind me as a possible negative, as you did. Jung tells us when interpreting a dream one way to know if it is right is if it fits.
Your interpretation of the woman behind me being a fatal attrcation would be true if not for my many experiences in the matter of love. This is something I have spent much time analyzing, it being a part of my shadow self. Of course you did not knwo this thus limiting your insights to the dream. This is one rason why I ask for a followup on my interpretations. Often the second post contains personal iunformation that shines even more light on the dream. To properly interpret a person's dream requires much more than a simple post. If I could supply a couch for the dreamer to lye on, well, dreams are a psychological process.
I have in the past refused the call, much as Percival did in his journey. But I believe myself to be at that threshold and ready to cross over. I await the helping hands of fate to provide that final push.
But oddly, the last obstacle in Percival's search was overcoming sex. Joseph Campbell tells the story of Percival's quest in his book 'The Power of Myth'. The Grail traditions are rich in the metaphors of love and the quest for the true self. I recommend all read this book {or better yet see the video}.
I do appreciate your input and insight.
