Sierra, it sounds like you're navigating a mix of emotions and experiences, reflected in the imagery and themes of your dream. Observing the soccer game from a bridge, alongside your sister and mom, indicates a perspective of distance and perhaps a feeling of detachment or oversight when it comes to your high school experiences and relationships. The game itself, being played by your varsity team on a tennis court, suggests a blending of two different areas of your life or a situation where things are not quite in their usual place.
Your conversation with your sister and mom about not playing with the main team could symbolize feelings of exclusion or missed opportunities, yet there's an acceptance and recognition of the value in what you did experience with the JV team. The secret satisfaction in seeing the varsity team struggle may point to a sense of justice or a leveling of the playing field regarding perceived arrogance or pride issues among some teammates.
Engaging with the tall boys during halftime shows a willingness to interact with challenges directly, even when others may feel annoyed or defeated. Their likening themselves to lightning could be interpreted as your acknowledgment of the dynamic and powerful forces in life, which can be both impressive and overwhelming. Your positive attitude in the face of this suggests resilience and self-assurance in your ability to handle life's challenges without succumbing to frustration.
Reflecting on your previous dreams, there are recurring themes of navigating challenging scenarios with composure. Whether it's dealing with an uncomfortable situation with a sense of nonchalance or attempting to protect others in a storm, you exhibit a consistent inner strength. Your dreams often place you in leadership roles or situations where you're tasked with problem-solving under pressure, yet you maintain a level-headed approach.
It's interesting that even though the dream's emotional intensity was low, it contained elements of competition, challenge, and personal growth. These are common themes for someone in your age range, especially as you balance the pressures of school, ROTC, and personal development. Your dreams seem to be a space where you process your waking life's stresses and triumphs, with a focus on your personal journey and the skills you're developing along the way.
Remember, Sierra, the way you handle situations in your dreams may offer insights into how you perceive yourself and your capabilities. Your consistent positive attitude and resilience in your dreams are qualities that likely serve you well in your waking life as you continue to grow and face new challenges.
