HAVE YOU EVER DREAMED THAT-
YOU WERE DIGGING HOLES IN THE SAND AND
OUT OF BACH ONE
ROSE A MAN man
-THIS DREAM MEANS:
A temptation dream-too obviously. You are tempted not so much by a particular mon as by men in general; by a biological urge rather than by someone you know and love!
As you "dig" into your own thoughts and fontusios you come always and inevitably to "man,"

Your unconscious wish is to yield: 'your fear in that you may.
This dream is just a reminder to you that you are human-and still young..
