If it was me, it would mean I had too much spicy food for supper. YMMV. ---

Castration anxiety. Clearly. The husband represents your penis, the wife represents the women in your life (your mother, wife, girlfriend, etc). You’ve been having unresolved issues asserting your masculinity. They are manifesting themselves in your dreams. ---

I would guess you feel empathy for the husband and see him in a toxic relationship. ---

If you’re a woman of the feminine gender, I think it means you have latent aggressively feminist tendencies. Or you’re annoyed at your husband. If you’re a man of the masculine gender, you either have a guilty conscience or you’ve been coveting your neighbor’s wife. Of course, your mileage may vary. ---

In Klamath Falls, Oregon many years ago, I actually saw a man armed with an axe chasing another guy. I never learned how that race turned out. I swear this really did happen. ---

Reminds me of a favorite story about the Babe: [QUOTE=Sports Illustrated] “The writers had their own car, and dinner had been served,” Sugar recounted. “They’d cleared the tables, and they’d just dealt out a hand of bridge when the door to the back of the car flew open, and Babe Ruth ran down the aisle naked. And about 10 feet behind him a woman, equally naked, with a knife in her hand, comes running out! And Drebby says one of the guys looks up from the table and says, ‘Well, that’s another story we won’t cover!’” [/QUOTE] ([source](http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1175416/5/)) Perhaps your neighbor is on his way to becoming a legendary baseball player? ---
