Thank you for your help with this dream, Jerry. It does confirm my own interpretation. I feel my skill at deciphering dreams is getting better, and it's more than likely because of your help. I know it is.

In the past few years (being back in my not-too-optimum situation) I had stopped working on my dreams, for the simple reason that they were telling me things I didn't want to hear. I'm glad they persisted and brought me to the proverbial wall of the impasse where I found myself having to leave to save myself. Where I couldn't not listen to them anymore.

I think that when we don't work on our dreams regularly, we either stop remembering them or they become muddled to the point of our ignoring them altogether. Have you had this experience, or know of it, yourself?

One more comment on the above dream. As Jung says, the dream/unconscious is always one step ahead. Yesterday I received a phone call from work, saying that they want me to start again next week. So much for leisure days in the country! This "new" information fits in with the dream telling me I had other places to be, in streets (as in a city), instead of lounging around the house. I'm just amazed at the unconscious' succinct ways of relaying information. They may be 'symbolic' but once a person knows, such as you so cleverly do, the commonality of that symbolic language, then it's just a matter of putting the pieces of the dream puzzle together.

Thanks - once again!
