THE DREAM I was really wanting to achieve things - to have my book published. I wanted to live and wanted people to be proud of me.

THE REALITY The day before the dreamer had decided to try to improve his health. He had been drinking too much and had realised that this was having a serious and detrimental effect on him. He wanted to start focusing on the things that he wanted to achieve. But he realised that he had to take responsibility for his own health.

DREAM INTERPRETATION This dream made perfect sense in terms of recent thoughts. The previous day the dreamer had realised that his drinking was getting out of hand. He not only had to control his drinking but stop altogether. This dream symbolised his need to concentrate on the things that he wanted to achieve. He had a book he wanted to get published. The dream then starts off from the point that he has to control his drinking. The dream concentrates on the things which would motivate him. If he managed to set himself some goals and try to achieve them this would help him to overcome his own drinking problem.
