THE DREAM I working in a bar somewhere. It seems like its close to home. I am thinking strongly in the dream that I should really buy a drink for my old college lecturers.

THE REALITY The dreamer had been a member of an art group for many years. That had recently fallen apart due to members moving away. The dreamer joined a new art group and was aware that the new group was slightly different to his old group - it was more social in nature.

THE INTERPRETATION The dream places a great deal of emphasis on the need to buy a drink. In this sense there were obvious associations - the dreamer was wanting to show his appreciation for something. In such cases look for situations in your life where there seem to be direct parallels. In this case the dreamer was feeling the need to show appreciation to people who allowed him to join their art group. It was not just a simple club where you paid fees. It was more of a social gathering so the dreamer was noting that he would need to fit in with that atmosphere.

Of course the dream featured his former college tutors. In real life no issue involved them in any way so their meaning was obviously symbolic. The dreamer did not feel he learned much from his tutors yet he was always glad for the opportunity to go to college as it brought him into contact with other like minded people. That probably links to the dreamers own situation - he felt that he would not learn much from the new group. They could not teach him anything new yet he did appreciate the chance to meet with like minded people.

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I have just joined a new art group as my old one closed down. I feel a need to show my appreciation for them allowing me to join their group. I have got to realise that the new group is more like a social gathering. My former art group was more about sharing technical knowledge and expertise."
