When talking to people who have bought into anti-union sentiment, what have you found to be the simplest and most effective way to help them realize the benefits of unions and collective bargaining?

Sounds like you're worried that your condition (the castle) will grow beyond your control and will hurt and turn away the people you love and who love you. It's good they promised you, in real life, that that wouldn't happen. It's a scary dream but that promise must have been comforting.

Thanks. Well, it helped that he had shared so much of his experience with us already. But yeah, I'm often pretty good at it.

The other thing that's interesting in the castle dream is that OP controls the castle--which is different from how he's said he feels about his condition, which he doesn't feel like he has control over--so that makes it seem like, in addition to worry, he maybe feels he's responsible or guilty for what's going on with him.

Take this with the grain of salt that I'm a total stranger and of course, only he knows how he feels.
