I had a dream about graduating high school, but I'm in my sophomore year of college?

Question

I dreamt I was late to my pre-graduation ceremony get together. First, I was driving there in the rain, and in reverse for awhile but I spun around and was driving normal like everyone else but I got pulled over. The policeman asks if I know why he pulled me over and I said "Because I'm late?" and he got in the car and drove with me to the huge mansion the pre-ceremony was at. Then he tells me I'm pretty and all of a sudden he's gone.

Now I'm at this huge mansion and when I first open the door I think all these mangy and old dogs came running out, and I was trying to get them back in. I felt stupid because the rich lady warned me the dogs were coming in the first place. Also, I was self-conscious in my dream 'cause I was in a sweatshirt & jeans but everyone else was dressed formally. We were writing on some kind of certificate. When everyone finished, we cheered and threw them in the fountain in the backyard.

WHAT'S THAT STAND FOR?

Answer 1

Sophomore year..

Okay, stay with me, yes? I tend to get a bit excited, ahead of myself, so forgive me if this seems jumbled.

The fact that you dreamt about a graduation ceremony in high school, but in college, is your mind's way of telling you that you are perhaps back in a place where you must grow once again (High school ceremony is seen as a rite of passage, socially).

Big fish in a little pond and putting that big fish in a huge pond comes to mind.

The fact that you were late probably represents a feeling that you haven't matured, or are late in growing up mentally or emotionally -- compared to those around you.  Doubts about your growth is manifested in the way you drive your car.

Cars in dreams are symbols of your life. GOod thing you're the driver, because that means you are the driver of your life right now. So you're in a good place right now, but just a little uncertain. Anyways, the rain is an obstacle, but can also stand for renewal (Think rain in a literary way). Yet you start to drive in reverse for awhile, again, a sign of reversal (Graduation ceremony) and you feel that you are not going in the direction you want to go.  

You spun around, however, which shows your desire to continue  growing and not go back to a previous verison of yourself. So you're in a plateau.

Your late, once again, you feel late in growing. The policeman can stand for the authority around you, people around you, who probably are governing you -- or , because he helps you to the mansion -- a figure who will help you attain what you want.

Buildings in dreams, in general, are representative of yourself. The lower floor is the sexual part, and the upper floor is the mental/spiritual. The building was a mansion, which shows that you do hold yourself in good esteem, but you feel out of place inside of it. Again, a feeling that you are not in the same league of thinking.

THe dogs might be your doubts, your problems running free of the house, or your self, and you try to put them back, but it's better for them to be free. The rich lady can be your higher self telling your present self to not worry about it and that you will get out of it.

Jeans and sweatshirt, laid back, casual...doesn't belong in a mansion. Again, a sign of awkwardness.

The certificate signifies that you did graduate, a whole chapter of your life (High school) is behind you. To sign it is to verify that you are no longer there and have finally left it. Putting it in the water  , since water ruins paper, shows that you are ready to leave where you are right now.

Hope that was close ... and helped you.

(I hope the fact taht I just graduated from high school won't deter the value of my interpretation. I'm very good at analysis).
