ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. EMBARASSED - The dreamer did feel the equivalent emotion the day before in a mild way. It crossed his mind that he might be associated with the man who lost his temper.
2. ENGLAND FOOTBALL TEAM. This could represent this same issue. The dreamer feels that he was associated with the man who went berserk the day before. It was an example of how badly people with mental health problems could behave. An incident involving one England supporter or player reflects badly on them all.

DREAM ANALYSIS In guesswork the dream was linked to the incident happening the day before. The dream deals with the following themes
- Belonging to a particular group
- Feeling embarrassed

If you weave together the different themes you find that they could capture these thoughts -"That man went berserk yesterday. I just worry that people know that I have a mental health problem and they might associate me with that. He was an example of just how bad they can be!"
