Hey Jess! Thank you for sharing your dream with me. It seems like there are a few interesting elements that we can explore together. In the first part of your dream, getting a manicure at an unknown place and running into your ex-boyfriend's mom may symbolize a sense of unexpected encounters or unresolved feelings from the past. The fact that she didn't recognize you but you knew who she was might suggest a desire for recognition or validation in some aspect of your life. Your thoughts about how your ex would react when you told him about this encounter could indicate a lingering curiosity about the impact your past relationship still has on you. In the second part of the dream, walking through a crammed diner filled with strangers might represent a sense of being overwhelmed or crowded in your waking life. The difficulty in finding the exit door could reflect a feeling of being trapped or uncertain about how to move forward in a particular situation. Discovering a door in a dark, closed part of the diner and exiting through it might symbolize finding a way out or seeking a new path, even if it may seem unconventional or uncertain. Now, let's connect this dream to your previous experiences. In one of your previous dreams, you mentioned cleaning words written in red marker off your aunt's walls. This recurring theme of encountering unfamiliar places or people, as well as navigating through different environments, suggests a desire for clarity and resolution in your life. It's possible that these dreams are reflecting your subconscious processing of past relationships, emotions, and the need for closure or understanding. Remember, dreams can be highly personal and subjective, so these interpretations are meant to serve as starting points for your own reflection. If any of these interpretations resonate with you, take some time to explore how they might relate to your current life circumstances.
