What happens in the dream

- You see mortified (gangrenous) flesh: disastrous ventures and disappointment in love
How you felt
- Shame: the dream often reflects something you said or did and regret
- Concern for others' respect: it may show a fear of letting people down
Ask yourself
- What am I ashamed of right now?
- Whose regard matters most to me?
