i don't think you come of as neither cynical nor hateful. i think many of your reflections about values are spot on. sometimes it feels like one has to use a torch in this darkness to find someone to really relate to. i think you are fighting to stay genuine. it is great when there is also space enough to let us come off as asses and loose it. When we are like Beale in the Movie "Network" and we yell; "I,m Mad as Hell and I'm Not Going to Take it Anymore!"

respect for the descision. even though, since you present the dream in this forum, i think maybe you would like a response on the symbols? i do understand that just parts of your dream have been exposed... old house is you and your body, and its ancient memory (dna, heritage)...max: the teacher, a male together with a female voice, expresses your inner feelings of whats working in the world..and clearly states that you will have to change your name, Your name summarises yourself. It is like a focal point around which your sense of self collects. So changing your name would suggest a change in the way you see yourself, or express yourself...and since a female spoke the change may be about feelings.or irrational parts of you..parts not yet integrated..how you perceive yourself emotionally.. well...this to me this sounds like a dream about what drew talks about intellectually (female formless awareness) and how max represents himself practically...with his female teachers, the heart.feel..bliss.. personally i think it is good to take the time to feel what EXACTLY put you off. i think your dream was instructional. do consider wther it was night or day, chilly or warm and whether the roof of your house was in place, if you were in the basement or a loft.. i am not advocating anything here. dream on. way to go! hug
