THE DREAM I was in a lobby in a building in a city and I ran into a close friend of mine from university. We talked for a while and I congratulated him on his recent marriage. When the conversation ended we hugged but it felt like this was the last time we would speak to each other.

[My university friend was very close to me we almost had a romantic relationship but things did not work out. Although the romantic relationship did not work out we still remained close.]

[The building lobby was a place which felt very unfamiliar and cold.]

GUESSWORK The dreamer was thinking back to her university days and missed a lot of her old friends.
