When I have dreams with real meanings, they are generally something I want or something I fear. I think this mean you fear that your friends won't be there for you if you truly need them. Think about it.
You were afraid to fall, but they just watched. If they are your friends, you know they'd help you, but wouldn't you fear the idea that they wouldn't be there if needed?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
