About This Quote
If you're trapped in the dream of the Other, you're fucked. If you are in a relationship with someone who does not share your values or who is unwilling to compromise, then it is difficult to have a fulfilling love life. When you are in an unhappy relationship with someone who does not share your values, you will find yourself dreaming about the good times you would have had if only they shared yours. In other words, if this person has his own internal dreams and fantasies that are different from yours, then there is no way for both of you to live happily together.
The problem with this situation is that when one partner's dreams collide with the other's, there's very little room for compromise since everyone will always be unhappy. The solution to this problem is to try to get a better understanding of what the other person wants and needs. This way, both partners can find happiness together and continue their love affair without being sucked into each other's dreams.
