Navigating Through Gender Dynamics and Personal Growth in a Dream

Navigating Through Gender Dynamics and Personal Growth in a Dream
Before a storm hit the waters had risen pretty high so I went to higher ground and found myself in a wooded area where women were sharing snacks and lunch. I was offered a snack cake and ate it and looked for a trash receptacle. I was directed towards women who were holding large trash bags to put our trash in according to two different types. One bag was black and another lady held a frost like bag. I was told which bag my cake wrapper was supposed to be placed in. I was also given a small round cake snack that had ice cream inside. I noticed that the higher ground wooded area I was in was all women. I asked where the men were assembled because I wanted to be with men. They told me and I went to find them on a higher wooded area but only a former coworker named rick stover was there. I was out of the woods and in a big room standing up looking at a line of neatly dressed women sitting on a couch. All were white women, young to middle aged women dressed in casual clothes. I again asked where the men were and they told me where and I went to find them but only found rick stover again. He said that he had to go meet up with someone and I said that I was going with him. When we arrived a nice neighborhood I immediately noticed that there were no high water and flooding there. The streets and buildings were all very clean and the sun was shining. No one was on the streets, it was just a bright clean area. We were supposed to find a wedding but rick did not know where he was supposed to go to meet them. I then was in an office doing filing work of some kind. Seemed like I was to file hanging clothes according to the alphabet. I was attracted to the letter O and was looking for letters H I did see the letter I. I devised a cylinder type sorting system where pressing a button the clothes would come out according to colors. One guy asked me for brown or tan clothes and I pressed the button to my invention and the colors came out perfectly and colorful! The women all were impressed with oohs and ahhs. I was then outside talking to one woman and another woman and a second woman came out to ask if I could make something for her hair/wig and I said that this tool was not for hair or wig. I asked about a former female coworker who had moved to Texas. I was told she had an abortion and died after.
