Thank you so much for your reply. The truth is that we said a lot of things that hurt both of us the night I saw the dream. And I was also thinking that the tongue must have to do with words and that the sternum could be related with emotion (as it is close to the heart). But the discussion was not exactly fruitful, it didn't actually lead to any logical solution of our problems, but it somehow felt like it ended in some kind of truce between the two of us. Re the "trying something else" part, you have a point there, as I generally had a rather defensive part during most of the argument, although this is something I don't tend to do (especially when I am sure that I am on the right side). But then, maybe the fact that I behaved in this slightly different way might be the reason why things seem to be a bit better now and we didn't end up killing each other that night!
Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it!

Kassandra,
Let's examine the 'different' approach you actually took in your discussion. That is one thing that came through for me in the dream.

"So, in the dream we had just finished the discussion we had last night and then my friend suddenly lied down beside me and said "and now it's time to try something else".

I sense the friend in this part is not so much a reference to your male friend but more about your masculine aspects. In your latest response you stated you were on the defensive, something you rarely do when you believe you are in the right. The dream is addressing that difference in your approach. Then there is the 'pushing of the sternum', your heart. Does this perhaps suggest how much you feel toward this guy? The tongue could symbolize 'expression'. The hole in the heart may be the wounds you feel over the differences between the two of you.

And there is the deeper application of the 'masculine theme'. What inner conflicts could there be you possess that fit with this dream? Forget your friend all together and fix your sights on your inner being. Are there conflicts over personality traits, a different approach overall that may best suit your personality?
