Please, your help is sincerely appreciated.
Background: 33 years old, full-time college student (senior), great GPA, no wife, no kids.
Dream one:
I had a dream about a person who was my former boss, Bruce, five years ago. I used to be a full-time radio announcer in real life, and he was the man who hired me and let me go a year and a half later. He no longer works at the radio station.
I was in the far corner of the back of a Kroger grocery store parking lot, and I happened to see Bruce, my former boss. It was just pure coincidence that we saw each other at that moment. In spite of my unpleasant feelings toward him, I said hello to him and I asked him how he was doing. He said, "Oh, I'm doing fine (in a matter-of-fact way). Then he asked me, kind of in a half-joking & sarcastic, halfway serious way, "How would you like your old job back?" I thought about it for a few seconds, and I said, "sure." He looked very surprised, as if he didn't expect me to except his offer.
Then, in a surprised tone of voice of disbelief, he said, “you do?†I replied, “Sure, as long as everything is the same as when I left (same hours, same pay, etc). He said to me, “Oh yes, everything’s the same. So you really want your old job back? When can you start?†Then I said, “I can start this afternoon at 5:00 pm†(which is unusual, because I used to be a radio announcer from 6-10 am, and not in the afternoon). A few minutes later, I saw my mom and told her what had happened, and she said, “I cannot believe it. Your father is going to flip when he hears this (“flip†probably in a very bad way, because in real life he and I were fired on the same day from the same company, from the same boss- - we worked as DJs on the same radio station in real life).
The next thing I knew, I was working in the same building, but in a different room, and I was sorting through old posters and promotional CDs from various recording/music artists, all of which were about 5 or 6 years old. Then, I hear the voice of my former boss, and he said to me “Do you have any questions that you want to ask me before I leave?†to which I replied, “No, no questions.†My former boss left the room, and then I began to wonder about my salary, my hours, my days off, etc; however, he had already left by that time. I began wondering about when I was supposed to work, and I suddenly became anxious about my job working for the radio station. In my dream, I felt exactly the same way that I felt in real life when I worked for this particular radio station - - very unhappy and uncertain about my position.
Dream Two:
The next night, I dreamed that I was in my neighbor’s house – a neighbor that I really don’t know much about and never really talk to. However, in my dream, I was “house sitting†for this woman and her husband, and I was the only person in the house. I can’t begin to describe how lonely I felt, and how bored I was. I walked through the living room, and I felt like I was walking through a room while I was in the 1970s. Once I walked through the living room, I opened the front door and walked outside onto their front sidewalk. From there, I saw my other neighbor, Staci (who I know) walking her dog, Spanky, down the street. I asked my neighbor Staci, “Would you like to come inside the house and look around†to which she replied, “No, I better not - - that would be against the rules.â€Â
Then, I turned and was about to reenter the house, and I saw two women in their 20s sitting at an oval-shaped, cherry dining room table. One of the women was unknown to me, while the other was a woman who I had a falling out with in January 2007, who in real life briefly was my Spanish professor for about two weeks.
(In real life, I dropped her class, and later told her that I objected to her treating me differently than the rest of her other students who were younger than myself - - it was a situation that upset me greatly, and it nearly caused me to change my college major. However, I eventually patched things up with her in real life, and we are civil to one another now).
I could not bring myself to walk back into that house while my former Spanish professor and this other young woman was there. I felt very anxious and unhappy.
Then, I suddenly found myself on a road located on the top of a mountain. I was among several college age young people, and they were all riding their bicycles. However, all of them seemed to hang in groups with one another, while I rode my bicycle alone. I really felt lonely too, in my dream. Then, I saw a former high school acquaintance/classmate that I hadn’t seen in about 15 or 16 years. But as soon as I came near him, he rode his bike down a 20 foot paved slope on the road, and I never had the opportunity to talk with him. All I could do is watch how all of the young people were happy, enjoying their youth, and they each had each other, while I rode my bike alone, feeling miserable about my life.
