Adios for a while or maybe for good.

What you see only reflects YOU, not others...a distinction you seem to struggle with.

If he says his subconscious saw you as fish, then it's correct for him to say he sees you as fish (although it still reflects himself). Don't underestimate the power of the subconscious.

It sounds like it does for him. The subsconscious doesn't usually lie about such things (IMO).

But then again this is something everybody has to grapple with which, only becomes compounded when things like this occur.

Well, his subconscious doesn't make me what he wants me to be...and I think that sort of worldview is nutty.

Well, your subconscious doen't make him what you want him to be either, so in that respect we're all entitled to our own views.
