A WOMAN'S SHADOW

I'm in a dark, poor section of the city. A young man starts chasing me down an alley. I'm running for what seems like a long time in the dream. Then I become aware that I am dreaming and that much of my dream life is spent running from male pursuers. I say to myself, 'Is there anything I can do to help you?' He becomes very gentle and open to me and replies, 'Yes. My friend and I need help.' I go to the apartment they share and talk with them both about their problem, feeling compassionate for them both.
