Hello Cecily, Your dream seems to be a reflection of your waking life, where the boundaries between work and home are blurred. The fact that you didn't eat in the cafeteria might suggest a feeling of being overwhelmed or not having enough time for personal needs. Your concern about returning late from lunch could indicate an underlying worry about meeting expectations or fear of being judged. The man wanting to sleep on your bed to feel normal could represent a part of yourself seeking comfort and normality amidst the chaos. The drawings on the wall, similar to what your niece does, may symbolize a longing for innocence, simplicity, or a more carefree time. In some of your previous dreams, you've also navigated complex environments, such as houses with attics and underwater worlds. This recurring theme may reflect your ongoing struggle to find balance and navigate through different aspects of your life. Given your recent GAD-7 and PHQ-9 scores, it's clear that you're experiencing significant anxiety and depression. These feelings can certainly influence your dreams, making them seem more chaotic or stressful. It's important to remember that dreams are a way for our subconscious mind to process these emotions.
