THE DREAM I was walking in the backyard of number 13. I realised that I was not welcome here and said sorry to the man. (Number 13 used to house a man and his girlfriend. The dreamer fancied this woman who reminded him of someone he used to date).

GUESSWORK The day before the dreamer had sent a card thanking a woman for his help. This obviously revealed his fondness for her. She had a partner so this obviously may cause tension with him. He had no intentions of making a move on her but he realised that this was perhaps a gesture too far.

ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. The house in the dream used to contain a woman that the dreamer had a very strong attraction for. This woman then could be a symbol for any woman he has a strong attraction for. In this case she represents the strong feelings that he has for the woman he sent a card to the day before. As a simple metaphor the dreamer is trespassing on someone else's property. That represents him talking to someone else's partner. Many men often feel as if their partners are 'their property' and should not be interfered with.

DREAM ANALYSIS In guesswork the dream was linked to the dreamers actions the day before in sending a card to a woman that he was attracted to. The dream deals with the following themes
- Tension with a rival male

If you weave together the different themes you find that they could capture this thought that the dreamer was thinking at the time-"I sent her a card yesterday. I am not making a move on her but it maybe misinterpreted particularly by her partner."

Dreams will often be about such intuitions. The dreamer has done something that can be interpreted in several different ways.
