Well, I only remember two distinct parts of the dream I had last night, but they left me confused. So the first part goes like so: I was taking a bath (i always take showers never baths, so its unsual) and the water was cold and crystal clear. My friend (also female) was in there with me but it didn't feel uncomfortable. I only remember seeing like a "close up shot" of her face, don't know if she was in the tub too or out of it. We hear my teacher (who was my favorite teacher of all time) storming into my house and the perspective changes from first person to like third person so I can see my teacher going in and asking my mom for the combination to my room because apparently I have one of those large spinny lock thingies usually seen in banks smack dab in the middle of my bedroom door; however, I had left the door open. I remember thinking to myself "lol he's gonna go to my room, find the door open and he's not gonna know where I am and just leave, poor <insert teacher's name here> (don't want to reveal it just for privacys sake) and then my friend is laughing and says "haha, he unlocked your bathroom (not bedroom :doh door but forgot to open it" and then i'm like O_O! Apparently my bathroom door had one of the spinny lock thingies too and my dream-self wasn't even aware of that. Shortly after, he opens the door and it's still third perspective because I can see myself in the tub and my teacher standing over me and the angle is kind of like I'm looking up but it switches sometimes every time he talks so that it's looking down at me too at times (exactly like an over-the-shoulder shot for those of you familiar with cinematography). The weird part here is that somehow a white towel just randomly appeared on me while I was in the tub (oh the water was still running btw) and i remember thinking "oh darn, now my towel is wet -_-" but I was still holding onto it because I didn't want my teacher to see me naked and he was frantic and freaking out, not because of my nudity, but because he needed my help with something but i don't remember what he asked. I DO remember though that I went with him, still in my drenched towel and that somehow it led to this next part: My friends and I were going on some field trip to I don't know where, but it had this "summer camp" feel to it. I've never been to one, so I don't really know what it's like, but anyways... we were there and they were like oh let's go to the beach and they're getting into some type of gas-guzzling vehicle and i decide that my mode of transportation would just be to fly over the canopy of some really tall trees (in my dream, it was just understood that it was a jungle - not a rainforest) and as I was flying (more like just following the trajectory of a really powerful jump) I remember worrying about seeing those skinny green snakes in one of the trees and lo' and behold I see one and then as I continue with the "flying" more snakes appear and i'm just really worried about landing on them because I don't know if they're venomous or not so at that point i refuse to look down at the trees (though i can still see the snakes through my peripherals) and for some reason I elevate higher into the air and then i successfully land the jump on the other side of the jungle and onto the beach & i remember wearing some tarzan-like get up, never saw it, but I felt it. I look back and I see the canopy is infested with snakes and some look like vines. For some, i just see their silhouettes. Anyways as I'm looking back into the jungle I feel like i've succeeded and accomplished some grand thing and all of a sudden I hear one of my friend's voice saying "I hope you didn't mistake them for vines" - she assumed I had gone through the jungle instead of going over it like i had done. So I turn back around and i'm with my other friends and they're like YAY beach time! So we walk towards it and then I look at the beach and there are these large, dark blue waves and i felt so disappointed because it was one of those beaches that didn't have a shoreline with the sand, it was just a bunch of grass and seaweed lining the water and i also felt a little scared at first because the waves gave off a menacing tone but that was only momentary. Then, I looked to my left and there was the sand <3 and I was so happy. So we walked towards the shore and that's where that part ends. edit: I remember the rest which is just as puzzling lol. So: This was after the beach scene. Still in first perspective, we're still on a field trip but we're on some sort of school campus and i'm walking around and i remember people's faces but not their names, so it's kinda of embarassing everytime I approach them but it doesn't really bother me that much in the dream i just continue walking. There's a little scene where I'm in this hallway and Lili is working on some project for this class that I HATE and i'm helping her with it by supplying the sharpies and she's this little crazy girl, and her personality definitely shows in my dream: just her usual eccentric mannerisms and antics. & there's this part where she's like creeping from column to column and says "OOH CRAP! There she is walking up the stairs to class, we're gonna be late" She = the teacher of the class i hate, but since this was some other school campus, it wasn't the same teacher from the school i attended (would it be helpful to mention that I graduated recently?) but it was the same subject. Now it goes back to the field trip scene: It's just a big grass field, kind of hilly and everyone's just waiting for the buses or for the activities to get started so we all just lay down. I fall asleep and when I wake up everyone that was laying next to me was gone, so I wake up and i remember thinking "GRRR....they didn't wake me". So my vision is blury because I had just been sleeping and it was bright outside and I see some people are still outside and making their way to this huge auditorium. So I go in, find my friends and sit down. The performance had already started so it was dark and I remember just catching a glimpse of the performance (really good dancing and singing btw, can't recall the script) but I couldn't focus on it because I wanted to know why my friends left me so I asked them and they just joked about it. For some reason my cellphone was lighting up. It didn't look anything like my cellphone, it was just understood that it was mine. So my friends were like omg why is it lighting up, cover it up. & I tried but was failing to do so, so I handed it over to my friend that was sitting three rows up from where I was located and some adult woman (looked like she was in her 40's), a real bitch started complaining about me ( don't remember the specifics) but I retaliated with some psychology jargon (which I wouldn't be able to recall because I never took psychology and know nothing about it IRL) and some deep analysis of my drawings and dreams and how maybe it was possible that there's nothing wrong with people, it's just that others try to associate their personality with the symptoms though the person doesn't even have a problem/ try to make something symbolic when artist never meant it. Or something like, stop trying to find symbols in everything maybe a dream is just a dream or a drawing is just a drawing. sometime after the auditorium scene, I'm back with another highschool teacher of mine. She sends us out on some type of "mission" and at first, the narrow strip of grass looks like perfect golf-field type grass but then i see the little puddles and mud and eventually it just turns into some swampy exhibit with a large alligator/crocodile and this guy is like, don't be afraid of that big baby, just charge at him and don't run away and you'll be fine and I can't remember anymore.... lol So, can anyone make sense of anything out of my dream? *edit again: I'm a girl, just in case that helps?
Hi and Welcome! Now that you are graduated, the "field trips" and "missions" are symbolic for your life's new journey. The scenes where you are wearing nothing but either a towel or "Tarzan type" clothing suggests you are shedding old habits and old ways of looking at things and beginning with a "new skin" or outlook. You may have some clarity on what it is you want to do, by the description of the bath water (clear). But you may fear these plans could get murky or complicated by authority figures in your life. The jungle type atmosphere with moss and snakes suggest this. Hope this helps. :wink:
