STEP 2: SOOTHE Discussing dreams that are in opposition can be stressful. Pay attention to how you are each reacting to the conversation. Alert your partner if you feel signs of stress (for example, your heart begins to pound). Remember that if flooding occurs, the conversation will get nowhere. So be sure to use repairs if either of you becomes upset. If flooding does occur, stop for at least twenty minutes, and spend the time in any activity that calms you down.
