Najiyah, your dream is rich with symbols and shifting scenes, each carrying its own significance. Starting in the kitchen, the act of making cookies with your mom and sister and worrying about the flour might reflect concerns about nurturing and providing, both for yourself and those you care about. The exact measurement of two cups of flour suggests a focus on precision and ensuring you have enough resources, possibly mirroring your financial stress and career changes.
When the scene shifts to the restaurant, the dark brown wood surroundings could symbolize stability and grounding, but the introduction of the strawberry—a sweet, vibrant fruit—introduces an element of pleasure and indulgence. The unfamiliar white woman receiving a strawberry alongside you might indicate feelings of comparison or competition, perhaps in your professional life or personal relationships. The mini horses add an element of whimsy and unpredictability, suggesting that while your environment may seem stable, there are undercurrents of unexpected events or behaviors.
The interaction with the waitress and the complaining woman touches on themes of judgment and self-expression. The waitress's goth appearance and the woman's criticism could reflect internal conflicts about how you present yourself and how you are perceived by others. Your correction of the woman's mispronunciation and her derogatory comments about the restaurant's patrons might signify your readiness to stand up against ignorance and prejudice, even if it is directed more subtly at you.
The incident with Jorje Sanchez and your phone brings forward feelings of frustration and betrayal. The repeated phrase, 'I'm upset you keep doing this,' suggests ongoing issues or unresolved conflicts from your past that are being projected onto current situations. The fact that these memories of Jorje breaking your phones are false indicates a blend of reality and imagination, perhaps highlighting anxieties that may not be entirely grounded in fact but still affect your emotional state.
As the dream progresses, the water filling the restaurant introduces a new layer of emotions—water often symbolizes the unconscious mind and emotions. The surfboard and the struggle to retrieve your phone amidst the water could represent navigating through emotional upheavals and trying to maintain communication or connection. The support and criticism from others in the restaurant reflect your internal dialogue and the external pressures you feel regarding your responses and emotions.
The final scenes, involving the train ticket booth and your interactions with Abigail, bring in elements of guidance and reassurance. The electronic booth with many buttons and your difficulty finding the right route might symbolize the complexity and confusion you feel in finding your path or direction in life. Abigail's appearance as a supportive figure from your past suggests that reconnecting with parts of yourself or past friendships might offer comfort and clarity.
Overall, Najiyah, your dream weaves together themes of nurturing, judgment, frustration, emotional navigation, and the search for direction. Each element and scene contributes to a larger narrative about your current state of mind and the various pressures and supports you encounter in your waking life.
