Tamara, your dream is a vivid tapestry woven with deep emotional currents and rich symbolism. The small, country-like convenience store by the ocean represents a juxtaposition of the mundane and the vast, mirroring your daily life against the backdrop of immense, uncontrollable forces. This ocean could symbolize the overwhelming emotions and challenges you face, especially after your recent divorce.
Your complaint to the manager about the trash signifies a need for order and cleanliness in your life, hinting at a desire to bring structure to areas that feel chaotic and neglected. The fact that it’s Christmas, a time often associated with family, joy, and togetherness, adds a layer of complexity. For many, Christmas can also highlight feelings of loneliness and unmet expectations, particularly poignant given your recent personal upheaval. The manager's overlooking of your talents could reflect feelings of being undervalued in your past relationship or current life, contributing to your frustration.
The intervention of a third party to clean and decorate suggests an external acknowledgment of the mess, yet it focuses again on the trash. This might reflect your perception that others see only the problems, not your efforts or strengths. Your proactive stance of grabbing the broom and saying 'let's do it' demonstrates your readiness to take control, indicating resilience and determination to address and clean up the mess, even if it is left by others.
The final scene, with the gathering by the ocean and the impending tidal wave, brings forth a powerful image of impending crisis or emotional overwhelm. The tidal wave can symbolize a massive, unavoidable emotional event or realization that is about to wash over you and those around you. Your instinct to warn others and your desperate attempt to escape, though ultimately futile, highlights a sense of urgency and the inevitability of facing these overwhelming emotions. This could be a reflection of your subconscious processing the enormity of the changes in your life, and the realization that some events are beyond your control, no matter how prepared or proactive you are. The tidal wave washing everyone away could indicate a significant transformation or cleansing, suggesting that while the process is painful and unavoidable, it might lead to a new beginning or a fresh perspective.
