THE DREAM I was on a beach and watching the surfing taking place. It was rather slow and boring. Later on I am seeking safety. I was sheltering from the waves. I was been very cautious. The waves were very unpredictable. I could have been washed off my feet. I was explaining this fact to others.

THE REALITY The dreamer was taking a very cautious approach with a woman he knew. Previously his relationship with her had been very volatile and so he was trying to keep his distance from her.

THE INTERPRETATION The first task with any dream is to guess what may have triggered it. In this case a key thought on this dreamers mind concerned a relationshipwith a woman at work.
