Experimenting With Dream Analysis
Today in class, we began experimenting with dream analysis. My partner had a dream, where he saw his old friends who've never been to Los Altos, hanging out in the library and around the quad. The strange thing was, his friends were going crazy, saying random things and running away from him. In the dream, he was chasing one of them although he did not understand why. He sprinted after him, but was unable to catch him. The obvious meaning is that he misses his friends, and wants to spend more time with them. However, it could also mean that he thinks that his friends are having some problems and he wants to help them. Thoughts?

I definitely think the second option would show a deeper meaning. Almost like the dreaming is warning or telling him that his friends is having a problem or going through something and he should reach out to them. However, is this even possible? How could our dreaming mind know things about other people? I think this case needs further information-- was there a text or conversation that hinted at a problem? If yes, the dream could be his mind investigating that possibility.
