The Crowd

Dream fragments

Illustrative examples, not quotes from individual dreamers.

• A sea of faces, every one of them turned toward you at once.
• Moving through a press of bodies that will not part or make room.
• Being seen by everyone and recognised by no one.
• A silence that falls over the whole crowd the moment you notice it.

Find your place in the crowd

Were you watching, moving through, or being watched? Record one face or sound before describing the whole scene.

Were the people familiar, anonymous, or changing?

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.
