THE DREAM The ground was saturated with rat poison. I had this feeling that the pest control was getting out of control. It was poisoning the very earth.

GUESSWORK The dreamer had been worried how his behaviour towards a woman was being misunderstood. He felt others felt he was harassing her. He did not see a problem as the woman was not rejecting his attentions. In fact she was being very very friendly towards him.
