THE REALITY The previous day the dreamer was stressed out because of the presence of a particular woman. Previously he had been extremely stressed out by her because of the sexual feelings he had for her combined with some bitter confrontations and misunderstandings. This day he was starting to feel more relaxed mostly because she was a lot more settled in his presence. During all this the dreamer was trying to occupy himself with work.
