I dream that I see my brain

Here’s my dream from last night. For once, I’m quite perplexed about its interpretation—could you share your thoughts?

I “come to” and realize I have a head injury. I can feel the pain. The top of my skull is covered with a cloth or a towel to hide the wound. Underneath the cloth, the top of my head seems to have been “scraped” backward, at the very top of the skull, forming a horrible mass of flesh. I’m with my partner, crying and feeling desperate. I ask him what happened because I have no memory of getting hurt. His responses are vague and hesitant. I start to suspect he might be the one responsible for the injury.

Later, I’m at a doctor’s office with my partner, standing in front of a mirror. The doctor isn’t in the room yet. I take off the cloth, look at the wound again in the mirror, and realize that I can clearly see my brain, slightly lower down inside my head. I’m horrified.

Later in the dream (or in the next one), I notice that I no longer have a wound. But I’m still wearing a cloth on my head. I lift the cloth and find two small braids on the top of my head, in the middle of my hair. I think to myself that I must have confused the hole in my forehead with the space created by the braids pulling my hair tightly.

In another dream the same night, I’m explaining to my yoga teacher that I had a horrible dream where you could see my brain.
