A Dream of Struggle and Redemption

A Dream of Struggle and Redemption
Three things in my dream I was cleaning, got a phone call from Cal And knocked over a glass, gold box, with a figure on top . Fat, and looked like a cloud. Or budda. I dropped it, it shattered. I leave my house and end up in a parking lot because I going to get a job and buy shoes. I’m walking in this parking lot, it’s wet full of water but I have no shoes, only my gray thick socks that have holes. I’m slip in the parking lot or fall and I can’t get off the ground. It’s like my legs had no strength. I finally get up. Make my way to this back door to go to this Job and shoes. Before I go in the door a familiar face pulls up in her car just as I’m entering the door. It was the young woman I use to work with in big bear. She was a tech. As I go in I’m greeted by two black girl, who give me a name to ask for. I’m walking through what looks like a diner, I’m looking for this person. I finally sit at the bar area of the diner and thought I’d ask a man who was seating others. I recognize another face as people are waiting to be seated. It’s Jesse. I see the side of him and started to get up as though I didn’t want him to see me. The man that was seating everyone, was tall dark hair and had a mustache. I ask him about the person I’m suppose to see which was a lady and I believe her name was Wendy. He comes to me and whispers something negative and offensive to me. I only know it had the word Black Woman. I was upset, so the next server that I see I grab hi and whisper “ He called me a nigger”, the other server was mortified. The man was also mortified. I wake up.

This dream is a reflection of the struggles and challenges that the dreamer is facing in their waking life. The act of cleaning represents the desire to rid oneself of negative thoughts and emotions. The phone call from Cal could symbolize a call for help or guidance from a higher power. The shattered glass box with a figure on top could represent the dreamer’s broken sense of self and the figure could represent a distorted image of themselves. The dreamer’s desire for a job and new shoes symbolizes their need for stability and a fresh start. The wet parking lot and the dreamer’s lack of shoes could represent their feelings of vulnerability and insecurity. The familiar face of the young woman from the dreamer’s past could symbolize a reminder of a time when they felt more confident and capable. The diner and the search for Wendy could represent the dreamer’s search for guidance and direction. The man with the mustache could represent a negative influence or temptation in the dreamer’s life. The dreamer’s reaction to his offensive words shows their desire to stand up for themselves and not be defined by others’ opinions. This dream could be a reminder for the dreamer to rely on their faith and inner strength to overcome their struggles and find redemption.
