this morning, i woke up from a dream where i was in high school again; there were a lot of uh.. oddities (strange mischevous but not downright evil small monsters for one), but there were two that stuck out to me the most.

i was frazzled the entire time - even if everyone else was fine with what was happening. i had to go to a pharmacy in order to get some medicine before the bus got there and the person working there was so serene she made me freak out even more! a sort of "how can you be this calm when THIS is happening" emotion.

that, and.. well, when i caught my bus home, despite the driver's reassurance that he'd be able to get us to our area safely, he made a turn through a broken gate and into a very slim concrete walkway beside a lake. needless to say.. it didn't work. we toppled into the lake, and i'm pretty sure everyone drowned.

i usually have drowning type dreams (usually in cars, actually!) when i'm navigating a stressful or otherwise complicated or delicate situation.. and i am, in fact, currently navigating complicated feelings - toward someone - to be precise.


thank you for reading this, and doubly so for sharing your thoughts if you feel compelled. i'm mostly sharing to share - i find this topic interesting, and i like knowing other people's opinions on things like this!

It seems like your present-time complicated feelings for someone are relevant to this dream.

In the dream, you’re back in high school. This is usually a discombobulating for most of us, especially when it comes to romance, so something about your present situation may have echoes or similarities to a situation during your high school years, or to the way you felt then.

The pharmacist (who dispenses medicine to make you better) is a figure for your higher self (or however you call that). She is calm, indicating that the situation isn’t as bad as you’re concerned about. Your ‘smaller’ self is wrapped up in the scenario and is having a hard time looking beyond the situation at hand.

The bus crashing into the water, as opposed to your usual car crashing dream, may mean someone else is at the wheel of the out-of-control vehicle and you’re sort of along for the ride. They assured you riding with them was safe and you trusted that, but it didn’t turn out to be true. This may have similarities to the situation with your relationship in present time. Have you sort of given control of your life, or parts of yourself, to this romantic interest, but you’re not comfortable with that?

It may harken back to a similar situation you had when you were younger, which is making you feel anxiety in present-time, similar to a time in your youth involving a rush of hormones, confusing relationships, mixed signals. It may be making you feel you’re not in control of your own life or self.

If you have a similar dream again, ask your pharmacist what you should do to stay healthy.
