THE DREAM - I am at some kind of riverbank. Its a hilly place. There are two tribes. They are about to go to war. There seems to be a retarded man there. There seems some debate about if this is the right place for him. The two sides are squaring up to fight but its all in good banter. Then suddenly the battle has started. I realize that actually I have not got a spear. I really just have to get out of there. So I start to try to escape the battle.

THE REALITY Things had been very heated at work recently for the dreamer. A major project was in danger of going wrong. Everyone was sick of this project and wanted no involvement. The dreamer was trying to keep out of it. He realized that the situation was proving quite volatile.
