My husband and I are visiting my family in Arizona. I get a call from mom; she asks us to meet everyone at "the terminal." I presume that she means the airport terminal and I feel irritated to later learn that it's the name of a restaurant lounge. Brian has already left for the airport, and I can't get ahold of him to let him know it's the wrong place. This leads to more feelings of irritation, along with concern for why he isn't answering his phone.
Once the family is finally together, they put on a video from my past. I feel embarrassed that they find it to be so entertaining. In the video, I come rushing out of an auditorium completely naked. I am confronted by a pit bull who nearly bites my head off. I cleverly duck under a low clearance shelf so that my head is protected. It was a close call. The family laughs hysterically while watching this unfold.

However, if the dream childhood is lonely and despairing, there is a strong indication that we have still to resolve something from that part of our lives.

In the Zohar, the ‘magic head’ stands for astral light (9); in mediaeval art
it is a symbol for the mind (46) and for the spiritual life, which explains the
frequency with which it appeared in decorative art. On the other hand, Plato in
Timaeus asserts that ‘the human head is the image of the world’. In corroboration
of this, Leblant points out that the skull, the semi-spherical crown of the human
body, signifies the heavens. Clearly, the head-symbol here coalesces with that of
the sphere as a symbol of Oneness. It had the same significance in Egyptian
hieroglyphics (19). The eagle’s head has been used as a solar symbol and an
emblem of the centre-point of emanation—that is, of the cosmic flame and the
spiritual fire of the universe (4). Two, three or four heads shown in juxtaposition
symbolize a corresponding intensification of a given aspect of head-symbolism.
Thus, the Gemini, a symbol of the duality of Nature, or of the integrating (but not
unifying) link between the two principles of creation, are represented by beings
with two heads or two faces, like the Roman Janus for example. Hecate is depicted with three heads—she is called triform for this reason—a symbolism
which may be related to the ‘three levels’ of heaven, earth and hell, as well as to
Diel’s three ‘urges of life’ (15). The juxtaposition of four heads or faces, as in the
image of Brahma the Supreme Lord, stems from the same symbolism as that of
the tetramorph (60). A factor of major importance bearing upon the symbolism of
the head is mentioned by Herbert Kühn, in his L’Ascension de l’humanité (Paris,
1958). He makes the point that the decapitation of corpses in prehistoric times
marked Man’s discovery of the independence of the spiritual principle, residing
in the head, as opposed to the vital principle represented by the body as a whole.
Kühn adds that Neolithic thought was very close to the mediaeval in its conviction that an eternal and invisible essence underlies all appearances (Plate XV).

The bull is associated with the symbolism of Taurus (q.v.). It is a highly
complex symbol, both from the historical and psychological point of view. In
esoteric tradition it is an emblem used by the Hyperboreans as a totem against the
dragon of the Negroes, and is equated with the god Thor, the son of heaven and of
woodland (49). In principle, this emblematic use symbolizes the superiority of
the mammal over the reptile, or of the Aryan over the Negro. The basic dilemma
lies between the interpretation of the bull as a symbol of the earth, of the mother,
and of the ‘wetness’ principle (11); and the view that it represents heaven and the
father. Mithraic ritual seems to have been founded on the former: the sacrifice of
the bull was expressive of the penetration of the feminine principle by the masculine, of the humid by the igniferous (the rays of the sun, the origin and cause of all fecundity). Krappe, investigating these paradoxes, has pointed to the fact that
the bull is the commonest tame animal of the Near East and relates this to the fact
that bulls are depicted as lunar as often as solar (that is, they may be subject to
either one or the other of the opposed principles we have just outlined). Sin was
a Mesopotamian lunar god and he often took the form of a bull; Osiris, also a lunar
god, was supposedly represented by the bull Apis. On the other hand, the Vedic
god Sûrya is a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun.
Krappe explains this disparity not as an internal contradiction but as a consequence of the way in which the lunar and the solar cults succeed one another. The
lunar bull becomes solar when the solar cult supplants the more ancient cult of the
moon (35). But it may well be that the bull is first and foremost a lunar symbol
because it is equated with the moon morphologically by virtue of the resemblance
of the horns of the crescent moon, while it must take second place to the solar
symbol of the lion. This is the view expressed by Eliade, for example, who
suggests that the bull does not represent any of the astral bodies but rather the
fecundating sky and that, from the year 2400 B.C. onwards, both the bull and the
thunderbolt were symbols connected with the atmospheric deities, the bull’s
bellow being associated with the rolling of thunder. In all palaeo-oriental cultures,
it was the bull which expressed the idea of power. In Accadian, ‘to break the horn’
signified ‘to overpower’ (17). According to Frobenius, the black bull is linked
with the lower heaven, that is, with death. This belief prevailed in India; and in
lands as remote as Java and Bali which fell under the influence of Indian culture,
it was the custom to burn the bodies of princes in coffins shaped like bulls. There
are Egyptian paintings of a black bull bearing the corpse of Osiris on its back (22).
This interpretation is supported by Schneider’s observation that, in so far as the
bull corresponds to the intermediary zone between the Elements of Fire and
Water, it seems to symbolize the communicating link between heaven and earth,
a significance which could also apply to the bull of the royal tombs of Ur, which
has a head of gold (representing fire) and a jowl of lapis lazuli (water). The ox
symbolizes sacrifice, self-denial and chastity, and is also found in association
with agricultural cults (50); it is, in other words, the symbolic antithesis of the
bull, with its fecundating powers. If we accept that the bull is Uranian in implication, however, then the contradiction is resolved and the bull may be linked with
the active, masculine principle, although only in so far as its maternal aspect has
been superseded—supplanted, that is, by the son (the Sun or the lion). This, at
least, is what Jung has suggested, together with the idea that the bull, like the hegoat, is a symbol for the father (31).

Or it could be a pun on something that is "bull", as in crap or worthless.
