Rafa Benitez Dream

I had a strange dream a couple of weeks ago. At the time I could not figure it out at all, but a couple of days later the media rumours about Rafa Benitez being unhappy with things at Liverpool began to circulate. Now I think it was a direct link with the thoughts of the disillusioned Liverpool manager.

In the dream I was walking along a road with Karl and we saw a man ahead of us with two small children. We realised it was Rafa and I felt duty bound to go up and greet him (unusual, as it is really Karl who likes shouting greetings at the famous!).

When we got up to him I said, "Hello" or "Well done" or some other nonsense. He looked at me and he seemed really sad or confused. I held out my hand and he looked at it and removed a knitted red glove from it before he would shake hands with me. Then he left and went inside a building near to us. The children had left a toothbrush and a hairbrush on the pavement.

I have been trying to read lots of symbolic things into it. He was happy to shake hands with me but not with a hand cloaked in red +/or he wanted the gloves off before he got down to business. I am open to suggestions on the meaning of a discarded toothbrush and hairbrush.
