what tends to happen is when you figure out the point of the dream, you'll stop having it (if its a recurring one), but its always nice to pick dreams apart cos it allows you to get to know the real you and what you really want in life, what ur really feeling, its easy for the conscious mind (ego) to lie to itself, but the true nature of a man is usually determined by his subconscious mind the flag pole you were climbing, which country did it belong to? does that country have any significance to you?
