dreams
I had a really vivid dream the other night where I was wandering through a town with a friend exploring the different shops and shows until I ran into my family who expected me to travel with them and lead them around. I did but I didn't really want to. I told them to wait at a bridge while I went in a shop. I go in and it's a convenice store with tons of people my age buying various chips and junk foods then there's suddenly lockers and vending machines. The people are living there and have freedom. I feel out of place but I want to stay for awhile. Then I'm on a pink sofa by a window in the store. I'm sitting sideways facing a guy who is acting all cool and hip. A girl then sits on my lap and throws her arm around me and talks to me then gets up. The guy then starts to talk to me and tells me he wants me to stay. I tell him i can't because my family is waiting on me but I really want to. I then put my head on his lap and then hug him.
Ok I have lots of dreams but this was very emotional for some reason so after I woke up I remembered it and tried to think of what it meant. I thought that it was a reflection of my wanting to hang out with a group of friends that my family would deem "the wrong crowd". My family also puts a lot of pressure on me to succeed academically since the university I attend is expensive and if I finish I would be the first of my generation to gain a degree.
According to the dream dictionary at dreammoods.com I was close.
woman on my lap = guilt
buying= acceptence of a situation
Family = security warmth and love
Convenience store = emotionally or mentally strained/noticing your choices
Bridge = transitional period
being a tourist = feeling unsure of your surroundings "lost in world"
city = social surroundings
embraceing the man = embraceing my agressive side or my desire to be in a relationship
lockers = my hidden self or personality
sofa = clearing of mind, sexual connotations with other person sitting
Friends = a part of yourself that you've rejected but want back
Watching a show = the various personas and acts you put on
Stranger = part pf yourself that is repressed and hidden
So basically I'm hiding my social life and stopping myself from having a b/f out of guilt that my family will disapprove.
So true...blah! :{
Speaking of hidden social lives I went to my friend's 21st yesterday and got trashed. But I didn't do anything bad other than that so I don't feel horrible even though I had to call out of work this morning. I told my parents that we just stayed up too late, which is partly true.
