12/15/25 Dream: I had a dream that me and my friends were all road-tripping to New Orleans, and we would always stop at hotels and get high in each one on Kris & X. Until there was one hotel which had a weird terms and conditions we had to agree to, of which we did, after which we were transported into a PE Classroom during class in session. A few of my friends tried to escape through the back door, but not only was the door locked, but the coach caught them and started punishing them by making them do push-ups. My friends were gonna try to resist, but they couldn’t go to fight the coach because they were magically compelled to listen to his every order. Freaking out, I ducked to the corner of the gym and tried to remain out of sight as I thought up a plan to unlock the double doors at the end of the gym and free my friends. I quickly saw a familiar face though, and froze my movement as my eyes gazed upon her. It was none other than my old applied skills teacher, as she sat in the corner of the room on a bright-blue chair. Feeling still trusting of her due to her nice nature, I asked her “Ms. Bernal, can I get a drink from the fridge?” On account of me being still very high and dehydrated from the stims I had earlier. The coach then seemed to hear us as the rest of the kids were beating up on a piñata , and he stared at me with a lecherous grin and began to lecture me in a manner similar to a drill sergeant “Young lady, you are not allowed drinks in this class. Now… get back to the-…” but he was interrupted by a voice from the corner, it was my applied skills teacher, who said in an understanding and firm tone “Ms. Wolfe, you may get a drink.” I then smiled in relief and began walking over to the fridge for my drink, all the while, I heard the mean coach stuttering and arguing with my applied skills teacher about “discipline” and “proper girlhood” and “drinks still not being allowed,” as his voice grew more and more frustrated. My applied skills teacher stood her ground though, and she shouted down the coach, telling him “She’s been through a lot, and I am giving her a water due to her medical accommodations. I will report you to the office if you don’t stop.” At which point, the coach briefly hung his head and backed down, him walking back over to the other kids with an even more lecherous grin on his face. At this point, I made it to the fridge and opened the door. I saw many bottles of Hawaiian Punch and Kool-aid in there, but no glasses to pour them in, so I just took the Dasani water off the top shelf and slammed the fridge door. I then heard the coach yelling at this young girl as I began to open my drink, he said to her in a cruel and masculine voice “Elise… WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT CHEWING GUM IN MY CLASS?!” Which prompted the little girl to begin crying in fear. The coach then gave her an order “4 laps around the building, NOW!” To which she ran out of the classroom with tears streaming down her face, persumably to fulfill his order. I stood there, thinking of what I could do; however, I could not act, as I was not only scared, but I also didn’t want to push my luck with the mean coach, so I merely stood there rooted to the spot as I opened my water bottle. In a desperate act to cleanse my super thirsty throat, I leaned my head back and began quickly chugging the water bottle. I felt the cold chill of the water pervade my mouth, as the world began to fade more and more with each gulp. Before long, I saw nothing but a void of white surrounding me, as my body grew satisfied and the water bottle began to finish. I then randomly awoke right as I thought to throw away the Empty water bottle. FIN. I awoke this afternoon quite thirsty but in an otherwise servicable mood.
Dreams often reflect our subconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Your dream incorporates elements of adventure, pressure, authority, support, and ultimately relief, which can have various interpretations based on your current life circumstances. Here are some potential meanings of key elements within your dream:
Road Trip to New Orleans: This can symbolize a desire for exploration, fun, or adventure. New Orleans is often associated with good times, festivities, and breaking social norms, suggesting you may be seeking more excitement or change in your life.
Getting High and Relaxation: Using substances in the dream may symbolize a desire to escape reality or relieve stress, especially given that you noted your friends were part of this experience. This could indicate that you are looking for a way to cope with pressures in your life.
The PE Classroom and Authoritative Figures: Being placed in a classroom setting with a strict coach can symbolize feelings of being judged or constrained by authority. The coach's punishment of your friends and compulsion might reflect your fears of judgment or feeling stuck in a situation where you can’t act freely.
Your Old Applied Skills Teacher: This figure represents support and understanding. Her willingness to stand up for you in front of the coach signifies the importance of having allies in challenging situations or a longing for nurturing guidance in your life.
The Conflict with the Coach: The coach's lecherous portrayal, along with his strictness, hints at feelings of intimidation or threat from authoritative figures. This part might reflect a struggle you have with boundaries, discipline, or social expectations, especially related to femininity or behavior.
Little Girl Crying: This scene could symbolize vulnerability, perhaps reflecting your own past experiences or feelings of helplessness in the face of authority. Your desire to intervene but feeling paralyzed suggests an internal conflict about taking action for others or yourself when faced with oppressive situations.
Drinking Water: The act of drinking water could represent a need for nourishment or self-care. The satisfaction you felt as you drank may denote a longing for relief and the importance of taking care of your needs, especially after feeling overwhelmed.
Void and Awakening: The transition to a void may symbolize a moment of introspection or emotional release, highlighting a shift in your state of mind. Awakening feeling thirsty suggests a need to acknowledge and address your desires and emotional needs.
Overall Interpretation: This dream may indicate that you are navigating feelings of pressure from authority and a longing for support in your life. It suggests a balance between seeking adventure and the need to care for your emotional well-being. Engaging with past experiences or relationships may help you find ways to manage current stresses or assert yourself more effectively in the face of authority. The dream encourages you to acknowledge your feelings and seek the support you need while pursuing your desires for exploration and self-expression.
