Daytime and I have been walking for what feels like eons through Africa and I have finally managed to reach a vast gorge beyond which is a coastline and my way out of Africa.I want to leave now and carry on my way but a guiding voice that has been hovering and following me all this while tells me that I can’t continue any further without first taking a rest, the guide adds the temperature and the dry searing heat will kill me if I don’t stop to take some respite.
The guide indicates for me to go and sleep inside a lush green bush on top of the cliff overlooking the gorge so I get down on my hands and knees and go to crawl inside. But much to my shock I’m immediately confronted by a large snake, surprisingly I take the initiative and grab the snake by the tail and pull it out. The snake wriggles and whips around trying to bit me but I manage to throw it over the side of the gorge.
I go back to my bush and try to climb inside once again but this time I am confronted by a huge ferocious tiger, we both wrestle with one another in a savage embrace, amazingly once again I have the upper hand and manage to wrestle the huge cat into submission.
The tiger melts into my body as I embrace it and before I fall asleep inside the bushy plant.

Thoughts: This dream seems to follow on from my Kenya dream of yesterday and is also probably about my life path I guess, the dream’s symbolism may also be linked to my primitive and instinctual feelings and how I am working with such feelings.Dream 1: The giant and the fairy – Daytime and I find myself in the house of a giant rugby player, I watch him as awakens from his sleep in his bed. The giant takes me to his sitting room and he asks me about some childhood friends I once had, I tell him that they weren’t really friends and that they were very cliquey towards me. Just as he says this I see one of the childhood friends sat in an armchair in front of me, I hadn’t noticed him at all and now I feel very conscious and awkward of the response I gave to the giant. I feel very embarrassed and as if I have been tricked somehow so I quickly run out of the house and into the giants garden, I feel very anxious but suddenly out of the corner of my eye I think I see a tiny fairy hovering to my left just out of the corner of my eye I turn away and it disappears and I end up wondering if I really did see the fairy.
Dream 2: Older is wiser – At a football stadium I discuss with an unfamiliar dream person about who I would pick to be on my soccer team if I had the choice, the dream friend says that he would pick the youngest stars as they would be fit and quick. I disagree and tell him that I would pick all of my favourite stars from when I was little (its at this point I seem them sat about me waiting for the match to begin) I add that the now grey haired men will be wiser and know what to expect from their past experience and hence won’t need to expend so much energy as the younger men.
Dream 3: Stealing the blue hat – Night time in the city centre of Japan and a brother-in-law has taken me to an immense skyscraper, the building is quiet with only one or two security guards about, I sense that we have to be discreet when we enter if we are to go unnoticed. My brother-in-law indicates for us to get into a lift which we take up to the top floor of the skyscraper, at the zenith of the vast towering building and in a hallowed shrine like room my brother-in-law steals a hallowed relic from its display cabinet, the artefact is a holy looking lapis lazuli coloured skull cap made from some kind of velvety silk. As soon as the little head cap is removed from its display alarm bells start ringing and the skyscraper’s security guards all leap into life. The brother-in-law and I dive back into the elevator and make our way back down to the ground level, once at the bottom I take a brief moment to take out a long samurai style sword which I use to inscribe a strange vertical column of oriental style glyphs onto the marble floor. Once I have finished scratching the sigil into the floor we both dash out from the building with the precious blue hat. It feel as if we have perhaps taken something we shouldn’t have but I also feel a bit like Jack from the tale of the beanstalk having stolen the giants golden goose.
Dream 4: Paul McCartney’s guitarist – I find myself at a Paul McCartney concert back stage, I watch a scene as Paul tries to get his guitarist who looks like a kind of Elvis style rockabilly to come out on stage to play with him. The guitarist seems very sombre and full of the blues he prefers to play his guitar back stage down in a sloping subterranean car park because he feels the acoustics are conducive to his mood and the way he feels.
Dream 5: A daring caress – In an unfamiliar house I am sat down on a sofa with an unfamiliar dream woman, my wife sits across from us on an easy chair. My wife leaves the room momentarily to get some hot drinks, no sooner has my wife left the room than the woman unzips my trousers and takes my penis out and begins fondling me. I’m completely shocked and am all a turmoil full of mixed feelings of pleasure on the one hand but complete panic on the other as my wife is perhaps only 6 feet away and could return back at any moment.
