I could not hide under a ledge. There was no room for me. I crawled on and ended up under the bed. It was in a neat, shiny house. The floors were quite polished. The "animal" was now an ape. He tried to snatch my feet from under the bed and eat them. He left periodically, and I was able to "boost" my companions through the window to safety. He came back and closed the window so it would be harder for me to get out. Ape left and returned with friend who was a man. They decided to let me get away. I woke up. Interpretation It was a low built bed. There were springs in my face. The neat shiny house - my home. My mother is fanatic about cleanliness (I know - anal sublimation - but she does it anyway). Natch, that I want to escape from home - The animal is eventually close to a man - because it seems that only marriage will really free me from home (and that is only a degree of freedom, huh?) Oh, my feet! They are enormous! I realize that so far I have been able to help people - but for myself - I must go alone. If the ape is my father - he knows I can get through the window, but he is not above putting obstacles in my way. (See, in the end he yields). I realize my mother only appeared through the symbol of "neat house" but in interpretation - she is always there. Answers to questions 1. The ape is old - sure - wise. (I was almost through my interpret. till I realized it is Father.)2. Damn frustrating - just to get to the window and have that ape come back.3. Actual participant4. Frustrating, I said.5. There were white ruffled curtains - my mother's passion - and braided rugs - we have dozens. (Yet - it wasn't any actual room in our house. I confess - sublimation)6. No.7. There were blue veins showing through the skin of the ape (I know apes have hair all over their bodies - but my ape is special!)
