Desire

Dream fragments

Illustrative examples, not quotes from individual dreamers.

• A closeness with someone the waking mind would never have named.
• The borders between two people going soft, then gone.
• Wanting something in the dream with a clarity daylight rarely allows.
• Waking flushed and certain, the feeling outlasting every detail of the face.

In your journal

Keep the feeling as well as the face

Was the strongest detail a person, a place, or the feeling of closeness? Record what you remember without needing to explain or identify it.

Did that feeling change when you woke?

When this dream returns

Keep each entry before comparing it with an earlier one. Note what changed in the scene, your actions, and the feeling you woke with. A shared symbol does not mean two dreams have the same meaning.
