THE DREAM I was with my Grandfather. He appears to be very ill and then he died. I know its an extremely sad moment and tell my Grandmother that he has died. My Grandmother is crying. Later, I see someone who has got a fish from the fish and chip shop. They throw away the better part of the fish. Its just left by a bin. There are also loads of other half eaten fish there. Its such a waste.

I am then looking at some abstract form. It seems to be connected to art. I get the feeling that I am best at this subject.

GUESSWORK The day before the dream the dreamer was thinking about a relationship he had with a woman. He really liked her as a friend. Yet recently he was not seeing her so much because of her work schedule. He felt that the relationship was fizzling out. The dreamer felt that this was a pity as things were going so well. He really wanted to talk to her about his artwork as this was his great passion.
