in my dream i was in english class. in real life i don’t like school, and i’m usually just siting there messing with a pencil. we had a previous assignment that apparently i didn’t do well because i was busy caring about what other people thought. at the end of class, my teacher (the same teacher i have in real life) had me go to his desk. i was ready for him to give me a bad grades paper, a lecture on how to do english better, anything like that, but instead he told me to follow him. he took me to a movie theatre that was empty. we weren’t sitting in chairs instead we were standing on some sort of stage. there were no chairs in fact. he told me to watch the movie. the movie was a white man and white lady talking to each other about things. he called her something stereotypical and she’d correct him on it. at the end, it said “made by a chinese person to call out american stereotypes”. then my teacher turned to me and said, “people see everything differently. perspective is very different and important. don’t let what others think define you. and certainly don’t let it affect your assignments.”
This dream may reflect your inner struggle with self-perception, societal expectations, and the importance of individuality. Being in English class symbolizes the aspect of learning and communication in your life. The assignment you didn't do well at and were preoccupied with what others thought may represent concerns about how you are perceived by others in waking life. Your teacher's unexpected action of taking you to a movie theater and showing you a film about stereotypes and perspective suggests that you may need to reevaluate the influence of outside opinions on your own identity and work.
The movie's message about different perspectives and not letting others define you resonates with the idea of staying true to yourself and not allowing external judgments to hinder your growth or impact your assignments (symbolizing tasks or goals in your waking life). This dream may be urging you to focus on developing your own unique voice and perspective, rather than being overly concerned with what others think or expect of you. It could also be a reminder to challenge stereotypes and societal norms, as well as to embrace diversity and different perspectives.
