THE DREAM - There seemed to be some big project going on. People were very enthusiastic and were getting on with things. I was explaining to someone (who seemed to be a woman I know and get on with). I was saying how my project had not gone as well as I had wanted. It was some operation at sea in the Mediterranean. Later I am realizing what my part in the big operation was. It was a very small part which was actually a bit pathetic.

GUESSWORK The dreamer really got along with a woman. He wanted to help her with something. He had big ideas yet maybe he was getting carried away with how vital his help was.
