In this dream, I found myself in the stairwell of my family’s apartment building, where I used to live with my family until I moved out. I dreamt that all of the stairwell was under maintenance and there was a lot of men actively working to fix and renew everything. They were even installing an elevator, which is comical for an old Soviet style apartment building. All of the stairwell was covered in white plaster dust as the men were working. I remember wanting to pick something up from my parent’s apartment but I wasn’t allowed in, because the builders needed to work. Frustrated, I stood at the door, when I found myself being held romantically by a famous doctor who’s show I used to watch as a teenager. He held me in his arms and kissed my face softly. It felt like an intimate calming moment. I then realized I needed to go to work and climbed downstairs, meeting a famous singer that I greeted in a friendly manner. “I don’t like that bitch”, I thought. Then I left the building and realized I was late for work. I looked around and saw that one of my colleagues, who is also my friend, entered my childhood apartment complex, but he came in a different stairwell (the building has 5 stairwells, my entrance was in the 1st and he entered the 5th). I thought it was peculiar that he lived there too.

Eggie, your dream provides a fascinating tapestry of past, present, and inner desires. The setting of your family's apartment building, a place of your past, suggests that you're revisiting foundational aspects of your life. This stairwell, undergoing maintenance, symbolizes a period of transformation and reconstruction within you. The presence of men actively working on renewing the stairwell could imply that you're in a phase of personal development, actively working to enhance your life's structure and perhaps even seeking to elevate aspects of your life, as indicated by the installation of an elevator. This humorous detail highlights a desire for progress, even in areas that may seem resistant to change. The white plaster dust covering the stairwell is a poignant image of transition and renewal, suggesting that while the process of change can be messy and unclear, it is essential for growth. Your frustration at being unable to access your parent's apartment signifies a feeling of being temporarily disconnected from your roots or past, perhaps due to the ongoing changes in your life. This could reflect a current struggle to reconcile where you come from with where you are going. The appearance of a famous doctor, someone you admired as a teenager, holding you romantically, introduces a comforting and intimate element to the dream. This encounter might symbolize a longing for reassurance and support, especially from figures or ideals you associate with safety and wisdom.
