Class Dismissed (05/11/12)

The Dream

I am in a school. It looks like my high school, but it is a college. I am going back to school for something, but I'm not sure what. 

I go to class and make good friends with 3 or 4 people. I only have three classes a week and they are really easy and I am enjoying my time with the friends I made who are in every class.

One day, in one of our classes, we drink beer and listen to the teacher and take pictures of each other goofing around. The teacher suddenly remembers that we don’t actually have class on Fridays and lets us go. 

I walk one of my friends to another campus across the street to have lunch and walk her to class. After leaving her I cannot find my coat or bag or glasses. I finally find them and realize I am late for a French test.

I run back to the school, but I am lost. I do not remember where any of my classes are. The building looks unfamiliar now. I am really late. I see an old friend of mine and I say hi. I know I am too late to go to class so I lay on a bed in the middle of a hallway and wait for my next class. I don’t remember anymore. 

Meaning*

High School: To dream about high school refers to the bonds and friendships that you made while you were in high school. The dream may also be telling you that you need to start preparing for the real world. To dream that you have to repeat high school suggests that you are doubting your accomplishments and the goals that you have already completed. You feel that you may not be measuring up to the expectation of others.

Alcohol/Beer: To dream that you are consuming alcohol in excess signifies feelings of inadequacy, worries, regrets and fears of being discovered for who you really are. To see or drink beer in your dream represents happiness, fogginess, or inspiration. It also indicates that you have quite a social life.

Lunch: To see or eat lunch in your dream indicates that you are lacking spiritual enrichment and enlightenment in some area of your life.

Foreign Language: To dream that you are studying a foreign language suggests that you are having difficulties expressing your thoughts. You are confronted with some unfamiliar problem that you do not know how to approach and resolve in your waking life.

Being Lost/Losing Things: To dream that you are lost suggests that you have lost your direction in life or that you have lost sight of your goals. You may be feeling worried and insecure about the path you are taking in life. Losing something often coincides with a significant life change or waking issue.

Bed/Sleeping Bag:  If you are in a different and/or unknown bed, then it represents the consequences of the decisions you have made. A sleeping bag may be analogous to regressing back to the womb where you were completely dependent.

Conclusion

Well, my subconscious seems to be telling me things are pretty screwy right now. But really, it's just saying that I'm stressed out about making choices right now and that I am a little afraid of being decisive. Mostly everything in my dream points to being insecure with my choices and fearing the choices that are to come.  

It has been a little bit of a transition for me lately as it has with a lot of people I know. I am entering the "real world" and need to find a big person job. I am taking on more responsibility and maybe I don't feel as if I deserve it or can handle it. Maybe I'm thinking that I should have done things differently or should be doing things differently. And maybe it's saying that I am trying to flee to those things that are safe and comfortable without trying to test myself. 

Then again, maybe it's just saying that I like to party and speak seductive foreign languages before stumbling home to bed without my cell phone and wallet. That rarely happens so I don't think so, but the mind is tricky!
