Leah,
Reflecting on the first part of your dream where you found yourself as a young boy in a classroom setting, the embarrassment and frustration you experienced when the teacher and classmates dismissed your intelligence can symbolize feelings of not being taken seriously or undervalued. This scenario, particularly the inappropriate comment, may signify an inner conflict between your intellectual self and a sense of impropriety or boundary-crossing you've encountered or feared in your waking life. The transition to you and your friends buying drugs, and the ensuing chase, could imply a sense of rebellion or a desire to escape from societal norms or pressures. The act of hiding indicates a possible desire for privacy or to keep certain aspects of your life hidden from authority figures or judgment.
Your second dream involving live streaming on Twitch and interacting with an ex-boyfriend suggests a contemplation of past relationships and your current social reach or influence. Playful banter with an ex might represent your comfort with past experiences or a reconciliation of those memories. The lack of viewers could relate to fears or anxieties about being overlooked or forgotten, especially if you've taken a break from an activity that's important to you. Gaining a single follower may symbolize a small yet significant recognition you are seeking in some aspect of your life.
In the third dream, the rush to play games in an arcade during a school field trip, as well as the subsequent argument with your mom, might reflect an internal struggle with time management or prioritizing enjoyment over responsibilities. The cyberpunk setting and the involvement of both your current and ex-boyfriend, albeit separately, could indicate a fusion of futuristic aspirations and past experiences. This dream could be revealing your subconscious efforts to reconcile different parts of your life while preparing for a 'performance'—possibly a metaphor for an important event or stage in your life where you feel you will be the center of attention.
The overall theme of these dreams seems to connect with life transitions, personal growth, and a search for identity and acknowledgment. The range of scenarios and emotions depicted, from a classroom to an arcade, to a live stream, illustrates a landscape of personal reflection and the various facets of your life where you're seeking balance and validation. While the dreams did not have a high intensity of negative emotions, they do suggest a thoughtful consideration of how you perceive yourself and how you wish to be perceived by others, especially in areas where you feel vulnerable or underappreciated.
