SOCIAL ADVICE

Dreams that directly give you advice about friends and social relationships. Remember, these are impossible according to many models of sleep and dreaming, in which dream content is pretty much random. But dreams go on being intelligent anyway. How rude of them!

RELATED TOPICS: romantic and sexual advice - work and career advice - dream prescriptions and health advice - spiritual advice (shamanic dreams) - Money Talks, a print compilation of dreams offering financial advice - general dream advice - dreams of parties and social gatherings - social issues and sociological dreams - See also the full INDEX OF SUBJECTS.
