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,"

AND THAT YOU PULLED UP A WEED AND ITS ROOTS GREW, ROUND YOU AND HELD YOU FAST ?

This physical part of your nature you rosent as a "wood," an unnecessary growth which you are trying to eradicate, but which is holding you fast: You are striving, striving to free yourself.

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..
