Shirley,
The dream you described, with its movement from an unfamiliar bedroom to a spaceship and a mall, signifies transitions and exploration. The bedroom, a personal and intimate space, may represent your inner self or private life. Suddenly finding yourself on a spaceship could symbolize an adventurous spirit or a desire to escape the mundane aspects of everyday life. The stars you see might reflect aspirations or a quest for knowledge.
The mall, a place of commerce and choice, could indicate decisions you're facing in your waking life. The presence of both warm and cold strawberry milk suggests a duality in choices or feelings you're grappling with. Your preference for the freeze-dried strawberries, and their surprising realism, might hint at unexpected pleasures or the discovery of new tastes and experiences that feel authentic and satisfying to you.
Previously, you had dreams involving apartments and luxury, along with elements of Japanese culture and the tangible sensation of taste, such as with jellybeans. This pattern of experiencing vivid senses and themes of affluence or exotic locations continues here. It seems you often find comfort in the finer things within your dream world, perhaps as a counterbalance to a search for something more fulfilling or stable in your daily life.
As you moved into the restaurant and faced the expensive menu, it might represent feelings of being overwhelmed by high expectations, either from yourself or others. The dream's emotional level being low and without negative feelings suggests these situations might not be causing you distress, but they are perhaps areas of your life where you're assessing your worth or contemplating the value you place on certain aspects of life.
Shirley, your dreams appear to weave a narrative of curiosity, discovery, and personal tastes. The recurring theme of unfamiliar yet luxurious settings might be reflecting a subconscious desire to elevate your current life circumstances or to find contentment in new and diverse experiences. The absence of negative emotions and the lower intensity of these dreams could mean that you're approaching these life questions with a sense of calm and exploratory wonder rather than anxiety.
