School and Food

Fragments:
I'm in school and in one class, I guess English, we're doing a partner/group project about blogging. This one girl (who's actually in my grade) and a guy and this one student teacher are a group and we somehow already see their blog being presented. The layout is dark brown and has cartoon flowers and/or weeds pictures on it. The post that we see shows a picture of holding hands. Then we're in the commons, but there's practically no one there for some reason. Then this person (I can't remember if they were a guy or girl) asks me if I want to be partners and I say okay. So for some reason, for this project we have to do everything in school together, and that includes eating lunch. I go to the food line and they're serving Italian dunkers and pasta, or popcorn chicken and macaroni and cheese. They had already served dunkers the day before, so I'm confused. I don't know which to get, so I go to the line which has less people: the chicken line. That's all I remember.

Meaning- The color brown represents Earth, especially with the flowers/weeds. Hand-holding shows respect, care, trust, and love. Food in dreams point to something lacking about my diet or something I need to eat more of. Chicken probably says I need more meat or protein, although maybe not deep-fried. Partners may symbolize leadership and cooperation.

(This is the closest I could find to my own school's cafeteria.)

Quirks and Work

Here are a few fragments of what I remember from my dream last night:

My dad and my family and I were somewhere in the woods where this trail or path was. We were taking a walk down it, past this one house. When we got a little ways down the trail, a strange deer came from our right and went jumping across our path. Later I'm in school, but it's a new classroom, and apparently I'm in a committee that is working for this organization formed tens of years ago. We're mostly goofing off.

Meaning- Forests represent the unconscious and instinctive drives and emotions that reside there. Paths, I guess, show that we're on a mission to find a certain target. A deer symbolizes personal freedom, or it may symbolize shyness or an escape to solitude. Working in school could represent hard work and intelligence.

Bands and Friends

There's this one band, with like only 2 people in it, playing far away from me. I still hear them, though. Apparently I'm a big fan of them. Then, Julia and I are walking down a sidewalk outside with my mom and some other person behind us. We're talking about how often we sweat or something. Then we come to this closed dock over a swamp. I see a furry animal with its head underwater, propelling itself forward. "What is that?!" I cry. My mom answers something I don't remember now, but I don't think it was an ordinary animal. Then the dock turns into like a sleeping house for the homeless, or maybe just people who need a place to sleep, but there's one lady there that takes a whole bed for herself, and she's known as 'The Bed-Hogger.'

Meaning- Murky water, that was in the swamp, suggests complications, and an inability to penetrate the truth. Watching a band play may foretell a performance coming up. Friends in dreams that are close may represent qualities of myself.

Foods and Moods

My mom and I are walking down this street in an unfamiliar neighborhood. We are looking for a place called 'Tess', which is a restaurant we want to go. As we walk up the sidewalk, we see a cat in the corner, and try to pet her, but she runs past us. We find the restaurant, which has double doors that look like doors of a very fancy church. We go in, and suddenly I'm with 2 people my age (can't remember who they are). We're in the restaurant, which is like a buffet, and it's also pretty dark. We ask for toppings for salads, and the guy behind the buffet puts them in water. There is a nice tossed salad right next to the tubs of salad toppings in water. For some reason, though, we can't have it. Some unremembered things happen, and then I'm looking in a journal/photo album of some guy. He says things like he's mistreated and wishes he could be different. This appears to be at a sleepover, because me and 2 other people are looking at computers. In the morning, we go upstairs where we eat breakfast, and the other person there comes up in footie pajamas and a stuffed Eeyore. We kind of laugh at him. And some other things happen, but they were more vivid.

Meaning- Walking down a lit avenue implies I have leisure time to enjoy. Cats are associated with positive qualities of creativity, mystery and independence. Green of vegetables can represent vitality, but some were limp, which shows I am tired or exhausted.

Sea Camp and D Dad (D stands for David, his name)

Finally I get to post! I had a dream last night!
I was supposed to be in a sea program I'm trying to get into this summer. I'm riding backwards, laying down, on an off-white horse, through a vast field. There are other people riding horses, but in a civilized way (aren't I an idiot, haha). Then I turn right-side up and we're all going through this small gate (there are 2 different paths; the one we're supposed to be going on is through the gate). I ask the horse what his favorite music artist is (for some reason), and he goes through the gate. Then I'm on a porch looking out at the same field somewhere, on a porch swing or something, and my dad is below me, leaning against a pillar or something. I'm talking to no one in particular, saying random stuff, like, "I liked that horse ride." My dad looks a little annoyed by me blabbering all this junk, and I say, "All riiight, I'll stop talking."
Later, I'm in this long hallway that looks like the entryway of an airplane. I'm looking through my jacket pocket, which always has money in it, and I'm wondering if I have enough for a Kaskade CD. And I do; it's somehow now in my hands, and then I'm at one of the tables at the commons at my school, showing these people my new CD. My friend John also has a CD; deadmau5, I think. It's green.
Later, I'm in my room, only it's a bit bigger, and it's a house me and my dad are staying in. I'm doing random things again: flipping through comic books, surfing the Web, etc, etc. It's time to go to the sea school, and I keep saying, "Oh, no! I'm going to be late!" all the while dawdling. My dad is saying, "You'll make it." Eventually we go to the street by my dad's actual real-life house, where a bus is waiting. But it's not the bus I'm looking for. My dad tells me to get on it anyway; maybe it goes to the same place. I get on and get in a seat, and this girl slides next to me and asks me my name. I say, "Miley Cyrus," somehow meaning 'Fairly Shy,' as in 'I don't need to tell you anything.' She gasps, and I realize what I just said. Then I woke up!

Meaning- Riding a horse means I'm firmly 'in the saddle.' Horses themselves represent vitality, energy, and the power of the instinct. Reaching into a pocket may mean reaching into yourself somehow. Saying Miley Cyrus's name was odd, but maybe sometime in the future something about her will come up that interests or has to do with me.

Poor Twisters and Soul Sisters

I was at some kind of birthday party or something, and was playing a prank on someone (turned out to be Brenda Song again..I really don't know why she's in my dreams so often); I think it was somehow getting cake all over her face. She came out of this coat room or something, clearly tricked, and I took a picture--with flash. So she started chasing me and I ran into a bathroom and locked the door. Then I guess she went away, and I came out into this area with 2 beds, where these ladies were on some sort of site similar to cleverbot.com. Then, later, me and some people were in this small building in a playground or something, on a computer on the same website. Through a window I saw a tornado going really fast to the left. No one else seemed to notice. Then the ladies from the party came to the building in these ridiculous dresses, and the tornado was going back and forth down a slide or something. It was also yellow, and not making any destruction. Then it stopped, and all that was left was this yellow waffle-looking thing.

Meaning- A camera/taking a picture captures the soul and sees the truth. Parties in dreams tell people to lighten up and take life less seriously. Locking yourself up in a dream may symbolize keeping a secret. Computers may represent effective organization or robotic perfectionism. Tornadoes represent a sudden destructive force, but it wasn't doing any damage. Playgrounds may bring out my inner kid-ness.

Scared of Bears?

I finally had a dream that I remember!
Last night I dreamed I was in a hotel with my parents. But there is a bear chasing me and my mom (who is turning into Julia frequently), so we run into a hotel room and lock the door. My mom says we should face our fears. I look under the crack under the door and see a dark shadow, so I scream. But my mom opens the door and it's only a guy in a suit talking to someone across the hall. Then we go to my dad's room, which is at the end of the hall, and is also the biggest room. The bear is in there, and he's running to me. There is also another bear in there, a smaller one, who my dad says is named Creme. They keep chasing me until they settle down, exhausted. My dad and I sit on the couch and I say, all song-songy, "We get to go to the beach tomorrow!" (referring to Ormond Beach, which is where we are going in July) and my dad laughs. And I say, "Less than 12 hours! Right?" and my dad says, "I think so." Then it's morning and we're about to board the plane and I'm in this impossibly cute tank-and-skirt combo. There is a crowd in front of where we board, and a stage or something. This guy wants me to come up to the stage and take a picture with my parents. I see Julia in the crowd as I stand up there in a position, and she's smiling.

Meaning- A hotel may symbolize a rest stop on the journey through life; a temporary shelter. They also represent relaxation or a vacation. Being chased by something shows what I am afraid of. My mom was encouraging me to face my fear, but I somehow could not. Couches may represent comfort and ease. Fathers in dreams represent guidance, justice and protection. Mothers stand for protection and nurturing. A dream bear may symbolize an inner need that is being neglected and may grow fierce if not given attention.

Buses and Fusses

This dream happened in 9th grade on Christmas Eve.
I am in school, which looks different, because there are 2 flights of stairs on either side of the commons. This one classmate and I are walking up one of them making dolphin noises. Then some things happened, then it's time to leave to go home and we're all walking down the hall to the doorway and this other classmate is listening to the extended mix of 'Take Over Control' by Afrojack (which I guess is popular at my school in the dream). I go outside, listening to the same track on my iPod, and my ex-best friend Whitney and I are looking for our buses. We can't find them. One of the buses says 0% on it (??). Then she tries to listen to the track on my iPod also, but it's too quiet.

Meaning- Going up a flight of stairs says I am rising above my present situation, that I can find a way out of difficulties, or may symbolize a rise to success. To dream of missing or not finding a bus may mean that I was missing an important opportunity.

Cars and Water

I actually remember some of last night's dream:
There's a building next to an ocean or a fish tank or something. I was looking through the tank at all the creatures in it; I remember a barracuda. Then I was actually in it, but it was shallow. Then I was at a table in school or somewhere with a bunch of people. I don't know what we were doing; I guess talking. Then the barracuda started flying in the air at me, like it was swimming through the air. Then I remember being in a parking lot next to a car with these 2 other people (I don't know who they were) and one of them (some girl about my age) opened the car door without using a key; there was sort of a handle, and she pulled it to the side, unlocking the door. Then we were in my cousin and her family's old house's driveway in Kentucky.

Meaning- The shallower water is in a dream, the shallower the feelings are. Fish are associated with emotions; if they swim out of the depths they may symbolize talents/aspects of myself coming to light. Unlocking something with no key maybe means you can do a difficult thing more easily than some people.

Smoke and Choke

I dreamed that my Health class was watching a documentary about smoking. Then it's actually real life and I'm inside the movie, focusing on the smoker and what she is doing. She is smoking like more than a pack a day, and she's starting to look pretty gross; her teeth are all yellow and she looks much older than she actually is. Her husband is an artist, and she was what he drew because before she started smoking, she looked like a model. When she shows up at the studio that day, she is heavier and her skin is very pale. Suddenly I turn into her and discover I look terrible and want to quit. My friends are trying to make me look normal again. In the dream, apparently I love this game where you jump over these nets and try not to get hit by a beach ball. We are all on a beach or something; we're on sand. I jump over the nets but have a hard time doing it. Then as it goes on, I feel and look better and this one guy wants to have a contest between me and him to see how many times we can spin on the sand. He does it a bunch of times and it's called a 'double' something. Then I do it and I'm seeing myself doing it, and it's all slow-mo. It's called a 'triple' something. So I guess now I'm cured.

Meaning- Smoke may be alerting me to a dangerous situation, or it may also represent uncertainty or lack of a clear vision. Sand may represent infinity (number of grains of sand).

Swim and Collection (still another bad rhyme)

This dream happened a few years ago, but I don't know exactly when.

I stand at the end of a swimming pool watching a swim team (maybe I'm the captain; I don't know). Suddenly I am with the swim team and a lot of my friends and some other random people. We are all in the 'swimming pool' with all of our clothes on; the swimming pool is actually more like a big room filled with water. 

We all talk, the captain says something (guess I'm not the captain). I make a joke out of the thing he/she said, and everyone laughs. This one rapper dude hugs me for some reason, I guess to just congratulate me, or something. 

Meaning- Water itself represents the emotions and the unconscious self of my personality. The water was clear, so there was a great insight. It was fairly shallow, though, so I might not have been sleeping that deeply. Embraces are a sign of comfort and security, but this one was quicker and more friendly. 

Dresses and Sweats

Wow, I really don't seem to remember my dreams during the weekdays! Here's one I had last year on February 3rd.
I'm in my old house in the kitchen, and a lot of my classmates from the 9th grade (which I was in at the time) are there, getting ready for SilverBelle (this stupid dance we have in February in high school, where the girls ask the guys). There's this girl there from my English class in a mini that is light blue and sparkly and looks like a costume from a Disney Princess. Also, Nip (remember her from that water park dream?) is there in a silver dress by my bedroom door with her date (some guy in my grade). Then everyone leaves and it's only my friend Grace, my Grandmama, and me and we're all wearing black sweatsuits (coincidence). We go into the study (my ex-Stepdad James's) where we find money in a laundry hamper. We have to give it to my Grandmama, so we do. Then Grace turns into my cousin Miriam, and Grandmama gives us candy. Then I get excited, saying I want to get my eyebrow pierced for some reason (I don't), and Miriam's all freaked out.

Meaning- Dreaming of fancy dresses might suggest bringing some glamour into my life. Comparing that to sweatsuits probably is saying to change my image a bit. Something blue is connected with idealism, aspirations, ambition, and adventure. I don't really know, but I'm guessing that silver is connected with wealth and glamour. A Grandparent often represents maturity and wisdom. I guess money really just represents wealth and riches.

Camp and Pals (another bad rhyme haha)

My friend Julia and I are going to an overnight camp. We get in there with our mothers and they enroll us. Then Julia and I wait for a while in this lobby sort of place (weird; this was all indoors) for everyone to get there. Then we go to our room (looked like a hotel room!odd) and we pick out one of the beds in there to sleep in--she gets one in a bathroom (odd) and I get one in the actual room. Then our counselor or maybe just some random guy asks us some information about ourselves--our names, our nicknames (for some reason, one of my nicknames was RIVERS), etc. Later on,all the girls get there and we're trying to figure out who's a good singer for this talent show thing or something. So this one African-American girl starts singing this song (I don't remember how it goes--in the dream I also didn't know it!) and she's very good, and then another girl sings the next line, and she's also good, and then Julia sings the next (she's actually a great singer in real life)and all the girls are saying, "That's good." I'm just standing there cheering them on because I'm no singer and even if I were , I don't know the song they're singing!

Meaning- Dreams about travelling somewhere (I guess it wasn't really travelling, though; I actually do recall some driving to the camp) may symbolize our spiritual journey, inner development and personal growth. The kind of music where other people are singing may be helping to lighten my spirit (it was quite nice).

(The room we had looked something like this)

(The real Julia on the right--my friend Kim is on the left.)

Sing and Bling

This dream happened a few years ago on Christmas.
One of my classes and I are going to do a rock show on the Chatauqua (that's what the auditorium is called in my school). The people there announce us to go up, and we hesitate because we're nervous. Then this girl from my 9th grade French class is the first to conquer her fears, and she goes up there. Then, gradually, we all do. When we finally start playing, it's not really a show because a lot of people are goofing off in the back and I'm not really looking at the audience as I'm playing (it's an electric guitar; funny because I don't play it in real life). Afterwards, we go backstage, which doesn't look like a backstage; more like a lobby for an old dance studio. There's this desk with a bell, like a clerk's desk at a hotel or some fancy place. We all ring the bell as we walk by it, and the clerk there gets very annoyed. Then we go to another desk which is like a checkout desk of some place, and I see a nice pair of earrings on the table, and I steal them!

Meaning- Opening the curtains to backstage may be representing opening a secret or truth. Music is associated with inner peace, balance, and/or harmony. A table laid with cutlery or jewelry may foretell of good fortune coming.

Dark and Stars

I remember small bits and pieces from last night's dream, but they were well detailed.
I'm in a classroom at the back with my friend. I think we had tests that day and were waiting back there for something. She was calling her dad on her phone about going to this one sports game and he was saying if she wasn't home on time they couldn't go. Later the class was in this bowling alley and it was all dark except the bowling lanes themselves. We went down in front of the lanes to this little area with seats and this lady (maybe she was our teacher; I don't know) passed out these worksheets and pencils or something. We were all fiddling around with them and dropping everything and trying to find them again.
Later in the dream me and these 2 guys were going down steps to this wide area somewhere. We started throwing a tennis ball around and trying to throw and catch them in fancy ways. At the end of the dream we were watching stars go into the night sky and we could hear them hitting the sky as they stuck.

Meaning- There was a lot of darkness in the dream, which hides truth. Stars may be a sign of spiritual growth. And going down the stairs into a wide space may be saying that I am going deeper into a vast range of ideas. That actually seems more possible if I were going upstairs, but I do have my thoughts.

Fights and Car Rides

Last night~
I'm in this room with a bunch of tables with stools. Everyone there is watching something on this TV, maybe a game? I go to an empty table and try to get up on the stool, but for some reason it's complicated and difficult. People are staring at me and sort of laughing and whispering, and the girl at the table behind me says, "She can't even get on the stool." And then something vivid happens and the next thing I know I'm threatening her when some of my family walks in. We go up these stairs to outside. I keep giving the girl glances, letting her know that talking bad about me isn't okay!
We start driving somewhere, all of us in one car. I'm in the passenger's seat. The driver says something like, "We'll keep driving till we get there" or something, and then we're driving through this watery bridge (maybe it collapsed) or waterway, and then just water. We're all wet, even though the windows are shut. Then we float down this narrower waterway and see these 2 guys flirting with this girl. Either one of the guys are trying to get to her first.
In the last part (actually, it may have happened earlier; I don't know) my friend Julia and I are making a music video and going around places shooting it. We look at older pictures of us and decide which ones we want to use in the video.

Meaning- Soft chairs in dreams predict comfort and ease, but it wasn't exactly soft..although the top I recall was a bit squishy. Driving a bit out of control over the water suggests a similar loss of control over events in my life (believe me, there have been a lot of those). Just a guess, but having a camera and making a movie may be the dream telling me to remember certain things and be able to refer to them during certain circumstances in my life.

Rivers and Bad Singers

Friday night~

I'm sure you've all heard of Rebecca Black, right? There's this other awful singer named Jenna Rose, and she was in my dream Friday night (yarg). I'm in her house with one or two other people, and we're all in her living room, and she's showing us this new outfit she has, or has just gotten. Later we're going up stairs, and I ask her, "How old are you; like, 12?" and she says, "How should I know?"
Later in the dream we're in a swimming pool or something, and we're talking about taking a swim in this river somewhere. Jenna Rose asks me what my bathing suit looks like and I say, "Oh, it's light blue and it's totally fabulous." (True..but I wouldn't say it like I were in some stupid clique in seventh grade.) So eventually we're in the river, underwater, and we stay under for the rest of the dream. There's no current or anything; the water's pretty calm. I see this couple making out under there by this giant weed, which somehow makes the experience of kissing unpleasant. There aren't any fish under the river for some reason. So that's pretty much it.

Meaning- The water in the river in the dream was a bit murky, which suggests complications and an inability to see the truth. The water was plenty deep, which means I am beginning to explore the depths of my mind. The calm, still river itself  means I am emotionally in control at the moment (true). Dreaming about someone who annoys me or I hate may tell me to give them another chance, depending on what they are doing in the dream. And she was still being annoying, which doesn't say much. Although she wasn't being exactly unkind, so I may have to think about what that may mean.

(Yes, this annoying person.)

Hotel and Toto

A bunch of people are dancing at this fancy hotel. They're in this gold revolving carousel thing that lights up the whole place. They're dancing to a Lady GaGa song, maybe 'You and I', but it might have been a remix, because it sounded different. Later I'm backstage and there's this really tiny dog running around (it belonged to one of the dancers I assume) and so I start fussing around it, like I would do in real life, and it runs into a bathroom with a bathtub that had a rug in it. Then I can't find it.

That's all I remember..!

Meaning- Dancing recalls busy times, but is currently giving satisfaction. Hotels may be indicating that you want to try something different for a while.

Dogs and Oo's & Aa's

I'm in an unfamiliar dimmed house walking through it, and there's people inside who can't see me. I go into the living room where there's a bunch of dogs all sleeping together in a huddle on a couch. Later I left the house and went down the block a little ways.
Then I'm in a school (also not familiar) where a new girl is waiting outside my classroom to be introduced. So I wait until she has done that; the door opens and she says "Hello everyone, I'm ______!"(yeah, I can't remember the name she says) and everyone goes "Ooooooo" at the same time. Then there's this group of guys in the hallway wearing T-shirts that are the school newspaper and they're saying things at the exact same time.

I kinda wish I went to school in a place like that.

Meaning- A pet in a dream may have stood for someone I know--"man's best friend." Leaving a house in a dream may be that I'm moving on or making a new start in life. Just a guess, but the new girl introducing herself was an example of how I should present myself in the future.

Money and Funny

What I mostly remember from my dream last night:
I'm in this big room, with a vending machine and a cement floor. There are other people there as well. Apparently we're all part of this young-adult book about who-knows-what. I think I may be in school, because it looks like an assignment; there are word finds and fill-in-the-blanks in the book. I'm trying to finish it while everyone else is in it and distracting me. There are points in the book where it's just a bunch of blank pages before another page with text.
Then we need to go to our classes. This lady says she left money on the desk in the room where I'm going to. Me and some other people run down there. I look for the money on the teacher's desk, but some girl has already found it on her own desk. Then we all sit down (I don't know what class this is) and in comes London Tipton announcing her arrival with this lunchroom watcher person from my own school holding 2 giant staff-like things with glitter inside. Later she is asking people to do her work for something that makes them sweat (I'm not getting into that).

Meaning- The book at the beginning might have been representing my whole life, and the blank pages were gaps in my life where wither I couldn't remember anything that happened, or there wasn't anything important. The people distracting me in the book were people I know and care about. Dreaming of a familiar table/desk may be a reminder to 'table a motion' or 'draw up a table.'

Water Park & In the Dark

I don't remember enough of my dream last night to really summarize, so here's a long dream I had a few years ago, May 6th.

1st part: I'm at a water park with a few characters I write about. We're up by a water slide, getting ready to go down. We get on rafts and go down. The slide is very wide, wide enough for all of us to slide down side by side. Two of the characters, these 2 half-cats named 'Nip' and 'Pounce' (only now they're renamed 'Nilee' and 'Ponyo') are on the same raft and start singing opera.
2nd part: I'm at the high school parking lot and this random guy from my school drives up (when I had this dream I was in middle school, so it was odd to see him driving) and asks me if I want to go to the dance with him. My old 5th grade classmates suddenly appear, and we're walking down this hallway, which connects to the
3rd part: An old friend and I are in a dark forest with glass flowers and singing trees. I'm chasing her, but she keeps getting away.

Meaning- This is just a guess on my part, but the whole sliding and water thing going on in the first dream may indicate that my life is flowing in a certain direction, like the water was. The characters sliding down with me may be the things helping me go through life. And the singing may be something to help me enjoy life.
For many people cars are status symbols; dreaming of owning a car may be a wish-fulfilling dream. I have no interests in driving, however, so it may be people telling me maybe I should think about getting one. Since it was in middle school when I had this dream, though, it might have been foretelling the future, saying that everyone will have cars and I will not. It's pretty amazing, because that is what's happening.
And the forest dream: colorful flowers and leafy trees are omens that I am/was coping well in life or have a positive outlook. Me chasing my friend and her getting away was the most interesting part though. We've been friends until around middle school/high school until we kind of drifted apart. The dream might have been a metaphoric way or summarizing that: Me trying to get to her, and her running away from our friendship.

Trees & Heat

There's not a lot I remember from my dream last night, but here's what's most clear:
My dad and I are driving to Atlanta, where my dad's sister and her family live. When we get there, I get out of the car and it's sort of chilly there, but also humid. My cousin Miriam is there and we hug, but not as long as we normally do in real life. There were more trees in the area than usual as well. My aunt was unloading glass pop bottles from the back of her own van, and my dad asked for one (which is odd; he rarely drinks soda), and my aunt turned into a cashier or something and said, "$65, please." My dad was surprised (wouldn't you be?) and then later he asked for the same thing and she said, "$68." Then we were suddenly in a room with lots of soda pop, and we got our share.

Meaning- A dream where you recognize the neighborhood (which I did) may be giving a factual comment on my day-to-day existence. Leafy trees are an omen confirming I'm coping well in my life.

Ferry & Roller-Skate-y (i know that's not really a rhyme xD)

My English class and I are in some kind of concert hall looking around and waiting for Ferry Corsten to perform. We go up and down halls not really going anywhere. The next thing I remember is that we're all in some kind of classroom debating over something. I'm on this computer looking something up and these 2 other people are there with me-- I guess the three of us were a group.

Eventually Ferry did DJ for us, but that wasn't a detailed part. In the last part of the dream I'm going to roller-skate home, and it's scary going down the stairs. I sit down by a bike rack and try to start a worksheet (I think it was homework or something). In the first problem I had to finish a word: "Subscr____". I was going to put "iption" but then I woke up. 

Meaning- Any means of self-propelled transport such as bicycles, roller-skates or skateboards shows that the road to success is in our own hands but will depend on effort. I think there was some dancing involved in the dream, so again, it can reflect that I've hit a busy time in life, but my efforts are giving me pleasure and satisfaction. So the symbols in the dream went together very well.

School & Trying to be Cool

The dream I had last night seemed so real I actually believed it was real life when I had it; it was so detailed and life-like. It was the first day of some grade and it was also the last class of the day. I think I looked like I did the first day of seventh grade, when I moved to Mahtomedi (pretty nerdy-looking). The class may have been science, or social studies, or something. The room had tables rather than desks, and at the table where I had to sit there was already someone there, who looked like my cousin Caleb (he wasn't). The room was very quiet as I sat down at my table (if you didn't know already I'm kinda an outcast) then there was chatter again. Eventually we got into the groups at our tables and did stuff, I think we talked about something going on.
Then lots of time passed and it was the middle of the school year (like it is now) and I looked different and also had blue hair (I dyed my hair blue on New Years' last year when I was in 9th, but this was different). We still had the same groups and were playing basketball for some reason and there was a rumor that someone had sneezed on our ball, but only I knew about this rumor. The rest of my group was busy playing, and then they passed it to me, and with all the rumor about the sneeze ball I felt light-headed, which I said. But I tried playing and passing but one guy blocked me so I said "Dammit!" (excuse my French) and then successfully passed it to one guy on my team; he scored!
We went back into the room (where we had different tables) and did this one group activity. My group was near this window looking out into the school's lobby, which was kind of dark. Like a normal window it had a sill, with a cat or dog bed on it (odd). The rest of the group was doing absolutely no work whatsoever, and talking about sports or friends or whatever jock-y guys talk about. I was day-dreaming about hot guys and spelling 'Love' on the window sill with this random tube of shaving cream (yes, a TUBE; gross) but the teacher was behind our group's table talking to a student and I was worried that he'd see me so I wiped it off with the cat/dog bed. Then we were getting up to do a lab or something and I noticed this guy smiling in my direction (this guy my ex-best friend used to date) and I was kinda annoyed.
I think this was when I had a 'flashback' of that first day but something was different: as I was walking to my table I almost ran into another table, that had cards on it. Back into the present of my dream I was walking to my table again and my friend Grace was trying to get a chair to use, but they were somehow all connected to each other (someone had played a prank) and if you tried to get a chair it would fall on your head. It was like this on every single table of the room. Grace was like "Am I ever going to get a chair??" and I noticed there was one not in the chain, just on the floor. So I pointed it out and she said "Oh, thanks!"
Then I was outside with a few classmates (not my original group) and we were trying to paint a picture of this one photograph of me and this popular girl hugging each other in front of a building (very odd). She said (referring to the photograph), "Y'know, I really like this picture." I looked at her kind of strangely and asked her why. She said, "I dunno, I just really like it." I said, "I don't even know where we are in that picture." And the other girl in the group said some town or city which I can't remember. Then I asked what the building was and she said "A hospital" or something.
A few other things happened, but the end of the dream is the clearest to me. Me and a few other classmates were demonstrating to the class how to climb up a bulletin board. But I couldn't get up on it because I'm short. So it was kinda embarrassing but I was laughing the whole time. I said, "Must be that my feet stink!" which the class laughed at, even though it wasn't all that funny. Then I realized I itched, and I can't exactly solve that problem in front of the class. Then the dream ended and this weird collection of clips I've seen from Disney Channel shows I've only seen small parts of flashed in this small window. Then I woke up and solved my itching problem.

Meaning- Again, schools in dreams encourage you to seek info about a certain matter. Cards on a table could suggest it's time I spoke up ('put my cards on the table'), which is true. The hard chairs that we sat in, and that Grace was trying to get may be warning of a difficult or uncomfortable situation ahead. The window could be a 'window of opportunity.'

New York & Bein' a Dork

My dream was kind of complicated (as they often are). Me and a bunch of random people are in New York in this big room or house somewhere. I see cake in the next room and say, "Ouu, cake, I want cake!" so I go in there and people are singing "Happy Birthday" and I discover it's my best friend Julia's birthday. So I start singing it also and so does she, harmonizing really badly on purpose and we laugh.
Then I'm in an airport or some giant building, in a long hallway with a water fountain and an elevator at the end. The elevator is blocked by a plastic case of brochures and a rope across it. I somehow get the idea into my head to throw a party in there and so does this nearby lady (who looks like my adult friend Abbie's sister, Laura). So we move the stuff out from in front of the elevator and start making a list of people and things to do on what looks like a bowling scorecard. Then Abbie herself is there and she admires the list and there are already a bunch of things on there (I guess people signed up when we weren't looking).
Then I'm on a balcony that lights up and it's night, and I'm looking over New York, and Brenda Song and some random guy are dancing behind me. I want to know if there's anyone else on their own balcony and they see me so I yell "Hi, everybody! Hi!!"
Apparently the whole time I was on vacation, because my dad and I are about to go up an escalator in an airport. We both really don't want to go. He says, "I tried to get a later day, but this is the only one that would work" (or something like that). Then a random guy hands me like 3 party dresses and I have no idea what to do with them so I say to Brenda, "What do you think of these dresses?" and she says "Spaghetti-strapped?" with sort of a disgusted look on her face.
That's really all I remember.

Meaning- Since it was a birthday party, the dream may be pointing out the end of a particular phase in my life and the start of a new one. The electric light-up balcony may imply that I have a flash of inspiration or arrive at a profound insight. Also, the cake in the dream suggest rewards, "taking the cake" implying the winner.
