This is really odd, but I was just awoken by Arnold Schwarzenegger as a T-800 chasing me and me fiancee around my home town. I was just a little kid when Terminator came out - 20 years ago. I can't believe that I had a nightmare about it now. Ugh, the wierdest thing about the dream was that I ended up hiding at Ashton Kutcher's house. I don't think he even lives in my hometown.
It's interesting, you have two very different ideals of manhood in your dream, 1) the hard, strong, muscular, emotionness, patriarchal asshole represented by the Terminator, and 2) the cuter, softer, more flexible, more emotionally available guy, represented by Ashton (who is in a relationship with an older woman, & apparently doesn't have the need to dominate & control the women in his life). You and your fiance are being chased by the Terminator - i.e., you two are trying to escape from this older, retrograde style of masculinity or manhood, i.e., perhaps you are trying to avoid having that old fashioned style of male-female interaction contaminate your relationship with fiance. Do you find yourself slipping into that undesirable macho mode of relating to women? Maybe that is something you are conscious of wanting to avoid with your finace? Or you two are trying to work out different ways of relating (than what you picked up from your parents). You hide out at Ashtons, I guess you can pick up a few tips on relating to women from him.
