Solitude

Dreams of hermits, loners, misfits, geeks and slackers, who reject family, circle or society for their own reasons--or come to prefer a solitude forced on them. Conventional psychology generally treats isolation as unhealthy--but dreams don't always agree. Sometimes it's what you, or a deep part of you, needs--for a purpose.
