------------------------------------
CAFE : Obviously a cafe or restaurant may link to a meal or situation which has recently occurred in one. But cafes tend to link to things which are feeding our minds. Therefor food can symbolise things that are proving to be a major talking point. So think over things which everyone has an opinion on.

KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :
- "it got me thinking"
- "it will really give me something to talk about tomorrow"
- "will I find it interesting"
- "everyone is talking about it"
- "I wonder what people will think"

DREAM STUDIES : Real dreams with cafes in them
----------------------
THE DREAM I am in a cafe. No one seems to be in charge so when a group of customers come in then I move over to the cooker to do the cooking. I asked the three men(all seemed to be people whom I do not get along with or who dislike me) if they could tell me their order and so I could start preparing to cook their meals. But they told me that they just wanted coffees. They did not want a meal.

THE REALITY The dreamer worked in an office. He was trying to argue for a particular project. He felt change was needed as their was a lack of dynamism. However, although he could convince some people of his ideas he really needed to convince the people who were not his allies and friends. He had started to make attempts to present his ideas in an appealing way to sway those people.

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "I keep trying to interest others in my ideas at work. Its a matter of making the ideas appealing. But sometimes I feel people are not really wanting to get involved in what I am saying. Its easy to be boring"

THE INTERPRETATION In this dream the dreamer takes charge when no one takes control. That mimics the real life situation in which the organisation lacks any real energy. He tries to get on quickly with things yet is annoyed when he is not able to show is skills and ideas.

The three men are a symbol of freewill. People are able to choose. They cannot be forced into anything. Here he faces three people whom he would not consider as people whom he liked or who liked himself. They symbolise the obstacles that the dreamer faced in real life. If he wanted to get his ideas accepted then he would have to convince people who were not his natural allies.

The dream features men(the plural men as opposed to the singular man) and this means that this is not a specific dream its about the dreamer thinking about things in general. In life he was not facing a specific person who opposed his ideas. He was merely thinking about his strategy in general.

Symbolic Meanings
CAFE : "preparing ideas so they are interesting and appeal to my coworkers"
COFFEE : "need to stay awake - its easy to bore people with details"
COOKING : "prepare some interesting ideas to interest people"
MEN : "the type of opposition and disagreement we are generally expected to face"
THREE : "freedom of choice(a group) - people can act any way they wish and reject his ideas"

DREAM TIP : During the day we store everything that happens in short term memory. Then atnight we work through these new feelings. At the same time we reshape our emotions and integrate these new feelings into long term memory banks. Finally we clear short term memory banks ready to start the whole process again. This is very important to understand dreams. They represent the ways in which our feelings have been reshaped by the previous day.
