English term or phrase: looking a gift horse in the mouth
That the two are intimately interrelated – perhaps
even reciprocal – is also mirrored, it seems to me, in the converse: dream
images often represent a spoken expression pictorially. I recall a dream of my
own of many years ago, about my father, in which a horse appeared, but its
teeth were all on the outside of its head. It turned out, as we worked on the
dream, that I was ‘looking a gift horse in the mouth’.
