Dream About Camp Counselor Brutalist Building Hysterical Episode
Analyze my dream

This dream was about

I was a camp counselor. The building was huge, in the brutalist style in the middle of nowhere. Inside, it resembled secret laboratories, but the rooms had bunk beds and other conveniences. The children didn't go outside, everything was inside the building. There were rooms that were huge, several kilometers in length and width, inside of them were long fields with clear sky. In my dream there wasnt much about my work with kids, but there was a moment when another counselor seemed to lose her mind. She had a hysterical episode and wanted to do something dangerous, but I don't remember what. I deceived her about her hysteria and she calmed down, resolving the situation. When I went back into the building, there were not children but various people my age. Among them were familiar faces like Maksim and Nastya (people from my uni group). I felt awkward and a heavy atmosphere. I don't remember exactly what happened at that moment, but I started crying. I looked at Maksim and either I was small or he was very tall. When the dream switched from third to first person, I had to tilt my head back to see his face. I buried my face in a shirt to hide my tears. After crying for a while, I looked up and saw people looking at me. I quickly left because i felt so embarrassed. When I returned to the children, it was time to go home. I helped them gather their things but realized I hadn't packed my own belongings. In a room that looked like a storage area, I couldn't find my jacket. I felt that I should have it but didnt remember how it looks. We were told important people were coming soon and we shouldn't disturb them. Everyone waited for me, I was the only one not ready. I approached a couch and found my old clothes from my teenage years under a pile of items. I wanted to take them with me, but couldn't, someone rushed me. I've heard from another counselors phone that someone was calling me stupid. As we ran through the corridors, we encountered serious-looking people dressed as if for a very serious event. I realized I had been there before in a dream world of sorts, a camp for learning that I had forgotten about. Flashbacks of what we did there flooded my mind before I woke up.

Aster, your dream reveals a complex and intriguing narrative that speaks to various aspects of your life and inner world. The setting of the dream, a large and imposing brutalist-style building in the middle of nowhere, reflects a sense of isolation and confinement. The structure resembling secret laboratories, yet also housing bunk beds and other conveniences, suggests a blend of institutional control and personal comfort, mirroring the intersection of structure and freedom in your life. The absence of outdoor activities for the children within the building underscores a theme of restriction and limitation, hinting at the confinement you might feel in certain aspects of your life. The vast rooms with long fields and clear skies inside them depict a juxtaposition of confinement and expansiveness, symbolizing the coexistence of limitation and potential within your psyche. The dream's portrayal of a fellow counselor experiencing a hysterical episode and your role in calming her down may reflect your own experiences with managing emotional distress and the burden of responsibility that you carry in your waking life. Your subconscious might be processing your interactions and experiences within your social circle, as evidenced by the presence of familiar faces from your university group and the heavy atmosphere you felt in their company. Your dream's emotional intensity, with moments of crying and embarrassment, suggests a deep-seated emotional turmoil and vulnerability that you might be grappling with in your waking life. The symbolism of feeling small in the presence of Maksim and the subsequent act of hiding your tears in a shirt points to feelings of inadequacy and a desire to conceal your vulnerability from others. The dream's depiction of being unprepared to leave the camp and the struggle to find your own belongings reflects a sense of unpreparedness and uncertainty about your own identity and place in the world. The encounter with serious-looking people dressed for a significant event and the flashbacks of the camp for learning that you had forgotten about hint at the presence of unresolved issues and forgotten experiences from your past that are resurfacing in your subconscious. Overall, your dream seems to be a rich tapestry of emotions, experiences, and inner conflicts, inviting you to explore and process the complexities of your inner world.
