A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences

by Tony Crisp
Example: ‘In my dream I woke up and had the feeling that a lot of time had passed. I felt I had lost all this time.

A group of friends I was with had gone ahead, left me behind, and I wondered if I would ever catch up’ (Patience C). Oneself left behind: feelings of rejection or inadequacy; sense of waking up to what you have not done or experienced in life, as Patience does in her dream. Leaving something, someone behind: leaving the past behind, breakup of relation­ship. Idioms: fall behind; put it all behind me.
