No, sorry, forget that my multi-dimensional pseudo-reality trains don't always translate directly for everyone else.
What I meant was: Unfilfilled obsessions, rampant anxieties etc. are like virtual-reality games and life-size movies. Look real, seem real, but not-real. Think you can touch them, but you can't. Can sit and watch the movies all day, but they are still movies. The neighbor's hunky husband, who I would never go near in real life (not my style to poach) could be an "unattached mysterious hunk" in one of the "pseudo-reality movies" projected on the castle wall. I am the wizard, I can put myself in the VR if I want, but it's still VR and no one gets hurt, not even me with all my neuroses, and certainly not him in his obliviousness.
But, it might be easier to imagine him warty and smelly . . .hmmmm, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the new perspective.
*Still* wishing you peace and warm thoughts in your dealings with the past.
