This dream concerns an artist friend of my husband's. He is an old friend, and he and my husband. have known each other since they were children. He is about 25 years old. The dream itself is short--only a fragment. In my dreams, I was this friend standing and looking over the shoulder of a fellow art student who was painting a picture. I felt rather puzzled at seeing him at art school and back in C--, as I knew he had graduated from art school this September and had received a position as a commercial artist in C-- to where he moved with his wife just several weeks ago. When I asked him why he was here, he said that he disliked C-- and his job and preferred going to school. For that reason he came back. I felt happy about the fact that he returned. Interpretation I feel this dream is significant because of what it represents. This boy and his wife were our dearest friends. When they left town, it affected. me for quite a while. The fact that he came back in my dream was a way of expressing an unfulfilled desire. (I wanted them to come back). Also, they had set out to find work. Our friend had finished school. The very fact that he came back to school here, and not, for example, to a job here, shows that school represents security to me. I felt happy because he came back to school. The prospect of leaving school represents a full adult life with added responsibilities. It is something I do not feel quite prepared for as yet. Answers to questions 2. I felt surprised at seeing my friend and happy that he had returned.3. Onlooker4. Pleasant5. In front of the CI of A.6. No.7. No.
