- You envy someone: your generous attention to others' wishes will win you warm friends
- Others envy you: minor annoyances from friends who are too eager to please you
How you felt
- Frustration: the dream may reflect a lack you haven't dared to name
- Discomfort: other people's attention may be weighing on you a little
Ask yourself
- What do I admire in others, and what does that say about my own wishes?
