Last night I had a strange recurring dream, I know that I dreamed this before but not in the near past. (I guess it’s still a recurring dream then). The dreams starts in a school playground (not my school and I don’t know which school it is) and I remember that I was still young. I’m following ‘a friend’ but I don’t know who it is, we are going downstairs on a hillside next to the school building when we see someone (don’t know who or what). He/she can’t see us so we go a little further away and clime down the hill side (it’s rocky and I stay a little bit behind my friend before I slide down). We are now on a sunny hill side, walking on a trail to a shop with an old friendly lady that sells candy. I then buy a bottle of coke. (I think this part is not always the same, the shop is) I also remember someone in the shop rolling up a very long Dachshund and releasing it, making it spring back ??? very weird… :rastaonly in my last one) What does this recurring dream mean? (I almost never remember my dreams because I smoke weed... (if I stop I start remembering my dreams more and more, even then I don't have this dream often))
It sounds like "the friend" is a part of yourself that you are trying to rediscover. Being young and in a playground can mean that this is a part of yourself that you had to hide away when you were young. A school is associated with learning, but since you aren't actually in the school but outside it, the dream could mean that you have been avoiding the opportunity to learn something about yourself.
Strange, I don't really get what that means.. I feel ok, nothing is really bothering me at the moment. Could it have something to do with uncertainty about the future? I'm 23, and in my last year of college so there are some changes coming up I'm not that sure about what I want and how I'm going to experience finding a job/working next year. But overall I live pretty day-to-day and I'm happy most of the time, got a lot of free time this term. I got this dream between 8 and 10am (woke up at 8 and dozed of again )
It could. Since you are in your last year of college, you could be reflecting on your childhood and the things that you have had to change or hide about yourself as you have grown older. The dream could also have to do with your thinking about having more responsibility and maybe not being able to have as much fun and freedom.
