Sonia, it sounds like you've experienced a dream that left you feeling unsettled. In this dream, the inappropriate behavior of your husband's friend is a focal point. This action could symbolize a violation of trust or personal boundaries in your waking life. It might not necessarily be a literal representation of a desire or fear, but instead, it might suggest an underlying anxiety about the dynamics and integrity within your personal relationships. The darkness that envelops the room while waiting for food might indicate feelings of uncertainty or the unknown in a situation where you normally feel comfortable, such as social gatherings or personal interactions.
The act of everyone taking a nap, except for you, could reflect a sense of isolation or the feeling that you are more aware or vigilant about certain issues than those around you. This might be connected to a feeling of responsibility or the need to be alert in situations where you might prefer to relax and feel safe. The friend's son coming over to sit and talk with you at the end might signify a shift in focus from discomfort to a more innocent or pure interaction, perhaps suggesting a desire for simpler, more straightforward relationships.
Reflecting on your previous dreams, there seems to be a recurring theme of anxiety, particularly related to responsibility and the fear of making mistakes, as seen in the dream about saying the wrong words in church. The plane crash dream could symbolize a fear of sudden disaster or the need to assist others in crisis, which aligns with the feelings of responsibility and being called upon for help. Returning to the classroom as a student, you once again faced expectations – the math homework, and a sense of being out of place or judged, which connects to the discomfort felt in your latest dream.
These dreams, taken together, may highlight a conscious or subconscious focus on your sense of duty, proper conduct, and the boundaries within various types of relationships. Sonia, while the content of this dream was disturbing, it appears to be a reflection of inner tensions rather than a forewarning. It could be beneficial to reflect on your comfort levels in your day-to-day interactions and consider if there are situations or dynamics in your life where you feel your boundaries are being challenged or where you might need to assert them more clearly.
