Once I looked back and fell into a sewer, but the sewer extended into an endless dark hole. I scream my lungs out but it was of no use. However, as many would think, I did not wake up, a few seconds later, I find myself flying a broom across the sky. Not to long afterwards, I land safely home, my parents welcome me and tuck me safe into bed.

And that's when a friend woke me up reminding me that Potion's class started in the next few minutes...

"Gee, I didn't know dreams could be so complicated..." Whispered Emma. She raised her hand to show the Professor that she was finished. As she waited, she wrote more into her notebook:

I suppose the street is a bit like a hallway, showing that I'm embarking into something new, yet being dark may represent it being unknown... Perhaps Hogwarts? At that time I had only been here for a month or two. The hole obviously represents fear, maybe the fear of not making friends. By that time however, I had tried out for the Quidditch team, I wonder if making the team has taken me out of this fear, given me a joy. The broom, representing Quidditch of course, saved me from my fear, the endless hole.
Professor Kotkin smiled at Emma. "Wow, I'm impressed! The fact that you are embarking on a new journey here would give anyone anxiety, especially when trying out for Quidditch could clearly add to that level of fear. Congratulations, by the way! I loved playing on the Quidditch team during my days here as a student. I would say, though, that the broom and then flying away from the danger would represent your conquering the fear, and then arriving home to a safe place shows you are feeling at home here at last. Though I do think that Quidditch helped you to get there, I might add!"
