heavily upon the interpretation of dreams. What do they mean? What is their purpose? What do they say about us?

Once all plausible options have been presented, the next step would be to analyze each one in detail, weighing pros and cons of each (DECIDE, n.d., para. 3). If I were to go with my first option, and divulge this information to my friends, the negative consequences of my actions would far outweigh the positive.
