What happens in the dream

- A pilgrim approaches you: you'll be easily fooled
- The pilgrim leaves you: you'll recognize your weakness and work on independent thinking
- You are a pilgrim: struggles with poverty and unsympathetic companions
How you felt
- A search for meaning: the dream may reflect a need to find your own way
- Guilt: a fear of abandoning your loved ones
