Kelli, your dream is rich with symbolic elements that reflect various aspects of your waking life and inner thoughts. Starting with the university dorm, this setting suggests a place of learning and growth, perhaps indicating your own journey of self-discovery or your role in guiding others. When the resident assistant asks you to take over her shift, it could symbolize your sense of responsibility and the roles you take on, possibly even feeling overburdened at times.
The scenario with your car represents your need for control and order. Forgetting your keys and the towing situation might indicate feelings of being unprepared or dealing with unexpected obstacles. Successfully parking your car correctly after retrieving your keys shows your ability to rectify situations and regain control.
Interacting with students and coworkers in the dorm and bringing out nail polish for the students suggests a nurturing side, offering care and fostering a sense of community. Moving to the roof, which transforms into a resort with a pool, indicates a desire for relaxation and escape from daily responsibilities. The tall, fat man inviting you onto the boat signifies a familiar yet different aspect of your life, possibly a figure of fun or comfort. Your willingness to join but remembering your duty reflects your balance between leisure and responsibility.
Seeing your husband and his nonchalant reaction to you being on the boat implies a stable and trusting relationship. His desire to get on the boat might hint at a shared need for relaxation or adventure in your relationship. Downstairs, the boys knocking could symbolize new opportunities or challenges, and your hesitation reflects caution or skepticism about new ventures.
Entering the basement with your daughter Zoie and commenting on the old hair dryers suggests a reflection on the past and generational connections. The store-like part of the basement and trying on crocs for little boys may symbolize attempts to fit into roles or situations that feel awkward or not quite right. Keith’s appearance with your deceased father's face represents a profound moment of spiritual recognition and guidance. His words, 'you don’t seem lost,' serve as a comforting affirmation of your path and choices, indicating that despite uncertainties, you are on the right track spiritually and emotionally.
