A girl and her little baby named Jo (I unconsciously wrote that spelling when I recorded the dream that night. Sex of Jo never came up again). came to swim where I was sunbathing. It was on a large rock in a lake in Canada. (I spent my vacation at such a place). Girl said she would take me to R. (I want to go there - to see a girl who "jilted" one of my best friends). Girl told me about mauve, long spined animal who might try to eat us if it saw us bathing there. I was amused. They (Girl & Jo) were terrified when it appeared and slid under a ledge. THIS CONTINUES IN MY NEXT SHEET--THEY AREN'T THE SAME DREAM, QUITE--YET THEY'RE CONNECTED. Interpretation The animal didn't frighten me at first. I was secure in the warm (SUN). But when girl started to abandon the warmth, for a cold ledge and safety, I came too. If this warmth signifies sexual pleasure, I will bask in it until other people say that cold safety is preferable. Then I am forced to abandon my pleasure and assume the attitude (of fear, which I say is "beneath me", as a protective device. I say "oh the animal will hurt me - I must flee" and thus project on to this animal my own fears of myself. I forgot to tell you that the ledge was so confining - while wide - there was barely enough height for me to lie flat - certainly none to spare. obvious isn't it? Answers to questions 2. Other side3. Participant4. Pleasant. I was always master of the situation. I sneered when I could and joined the group when necessary. Snobbish, am I not?5. Other side6. No7. The rock was brown - and I just read in P & A what mud signifies.
