I was at work when a coworker mentioned we were out of tissues. I told her I would get some as I already planned a shopping trip for myself. While at the store I had difficulty in locating the tissues. When I found the tissues, I got an entire case of tissues instead of one box. The cost of the tissues came to $47. As I was fumbling around trying to find $47, I started thinking. What am I doing? Why am I buying a case of tissues? Then I woke up
This dream may reflect a sense of responsibility and eagerness to help others in your waking life. The mention of being out of tissues at work could symbolize the need for emotional support or comfort in your professional environment. Your willingness to offer assistance by planning a shopping trip shows your willingness to go the extra mile to help others.
Having difficulty finding the tissues at the store could symbolize feeling scattered or overwhelmed in your efforts to meet the needs of others. This could indicate that you may sometimes struggle to fulfill your own desires or prioritize your own needs while attending to others.
The decision to buy an entire case of tissues instead of just one box could suggest a tendency to overcommit or go above and beyond what is necessary in your desire to be helpful. The $47 cost may represent the emotional or material investment you are making in supporting others, which may feel excessive or burdensome.
The moment of reflection and questioning in the dream may symbolize a sense of self-awareness or a realization that you need to balance your own needs and desires with your responsibility to others. This could be a reminder to take care of yourself and set healthy boundaries, even while being helpful to others. Waking up at this moment may indicate a need to bring these insights into your conscious waking life and make adjustments to find a healthier equilibrium between self-care and supporting others.
