Dream World

No effort at analyis here. Maybe later. I had this dream a few months ago and just found my email notes written the next day.

"Seth was a bad seed, Started as a young boy. He was just a rascal causing trouble. Wound up shooting people despite our best efforts. He was living in streets as a youngster, 10 or 12. I kept trying to save him and protect him. At some point I turned him in to police. Then he was out of jail and standing next to me, like in a hollow tree or something. he had a cup full of gas and set it on fire to throw on me in revenge, but someone next to me poked him with a stick and the flaming liquid spilled onto him and he started to burn....but I reached into the tree crying "no, no" and pulled him to my chest frantically clutching him to me while beating out the flames with my hands. He had longish hair and was now a grown man. I awoke with my arms wrapped around my own chest."
