THE DREAM I was in various situations where I could not cope and was showing my incompetence. I found it difficult to do even simple tasks. Even the things I managed to complete I was really slow. I was trying to keep records like I did in my younger days but was now too old. I finally feel like I just want to give up and live a simple life.

THE REALITY This dream seemed to be quite literal. It featured tasks which the dreamer had not attempted for years but the way the dreamer was behaving simply captured this thought - "I am feeling my age and cannot do even simple things which I did in my youth. When I attempt things I struggle. I have some things that I want to do but now I feel ready to just give up."
