Dear Friend, It has been almost 10 years since I "finally arrived" at the model I call the Biological Dream. Since that time 100s of people have reflected back to me how valuable this simple image is. I like the way you speak of it as lovingly looking at "falling in love." I think it also allows me to lovingly look at "fighting couples," "couples in affairs," and even "divorcing couples." But that is about couples. Outside of couple's relationships I certainly see the Biological Dream in children: both in their wishes and in their struggles with their caretakers. And, I find the same effect frequently in "non-romantic" relationships. Consider student-teacher, client-therapist, and in politics, etc. I even see it as a factor in the (worldwide) phenomena around the most recent US election. I think Obama stirs up these feelings often, partially as he so often speaks using language that is consistent with the Biological Dream and partially as he represents such a contrast with previous totalitarian (anti-Biological Dream)language. Anyway, I am glad you enjoy this view of people. Thanks for your note.
