All our dreams have something to do with our feelings, fears, longings, wishes, needs and memories. But something on the “outside” may affect what we 21. If a person is hungry or tired or cold, his dream may include a feeling of this kind. If the 22 on your body has slipped off your bed, you may dream that you are 23 or resting on the ice and snow.
