THE DREAM Everything in the dream is staged. I am pulling all sorts of expressions. Then I hear this woman's voice saying "Horrible!" Everything is staged and rehearsed.

GUESSWORK The dreamer had fallen out with a friend. He had become very sulky and was deliberately avoiding her. When he met anyone who knew her he was deliberately ignoring them as well. The woman saying "Horrible" reminded the dreamer of an incident when the dreamers friend had used that expression to describe a man who she thought was disgusting.

ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. The woman saying "Horrible" reminded the dreamer of his friend (who he had now fallen out with). She had used that word to describe someone whom she was really disgusted by. Because of his recent behaviour he now assumed that she might see him in the same way.
2. The exaggerated and deliberate expressions reminded the dreamer of his own exaggerated and deliberate expressions whenever he bumped into anyone who knew his former friend. He was deliberately ignoring them. He realised that by now he would be seen as "Horrible."

DREAM ANALYSIS In guesswork the dream was linked to dreamers fall out with a friend. The dream deals with the following themes
- Being seen as horrible and vile.
- Behaving in a highly rehearsed way

If you weave together the different themes you find that they could capture this thought that the dreamer was thinking at the time-"I have really fallen out with her. Not only do I totally avoid her but I ignore her other friends. Its all really exaggerated and rehearsed. She probably thinks I am horrible and vile now."
