(Dreams tell us about things we don’t want to see, things we want to pretend are not there. They tell us about our fears and ambitions. They are like messages trying to tell us something.)

3. River: in town, had to cross it. (The river was in the town. I had to cross it.)

5. Balls of fire: carrying them, burning hands, regret carrying them, didn’t go out. (I was carrying these things which I later found were balls of fire. They were burning my hands so I started to regret bringing them.)
