David,
I am working on your dream but it will be tomorrow before I will finish my analysis. A question. Your mother's partner. What is it you identify with in this person {male or female}? Also some info in relationship with your mother. From what I have seen thus far in analyzing the dream I sense a need/desire to make achievements/reaching in your life but you re restricted in some manner in doing so. You try to be objective but there are strong emotions that hinder your journey. Knowing a more about your mother and partner will help in determining how and if they are involved.

My mothers partner is male, he is a good caring man, he looks after my mother very well. I have respect for him, he is honourable.
My mother is 69 divorced, independent but always has a person in her life, is a little tired in supporting others.

Now you have mention in the dream she appeared in the corporate area and when her and her partner had taken the medication they were in some blissful ignorance . He had become more child like and was following her around while she was delusional enjoying leading him around.

David,
My sense from the dream there is a strong desire in wanting to be unrestricted in how you live your life but feel guilt because you are so dependent on others {mother/her partner}. You wish to be more like your mother's partner but lack the ability to take risks as he displays in his character. You lack objectivity, being able to take charge of your life and managing your emotions. In short the dream seems to be stating you are too emotionally dependent. You are susceptible to being control by your emotions which cause inner conflict.

But there also seems to be something even deeper in the dream. The past traumas noted in the last sentence may be pointing to an experience that does cause fear and paralyzes you. The fight withe the Asia woman with a knife would denote an inner struggle {not a literal fight but symbolic}. Perhaps you have tried to escape your emotional dependence and failed and this could be the so called trauma the dream is addressing. IF there is no actual traumatic experiences in your life look at this possibility. If there have been such experiences then that would need to be better understood {future dreams would address those issues} so they can be resolved.

Note: I do request a response to my analysis. My services are free and a response is the least that can be given. A contribution of any amount to my Kitty Fund would be appreciated but not required.
