i was in my elementary classroom but the students and me weren't kids. we were the age we are now (not kids). my classroom was connected to another classroom. we have a bathroom door in our classroom that connects to the other classroom next door. I was in the classroom and then we got told we had to go to the classroom next door so the ones called including me did so. we walked to the classroom next door and we were just standing there and everyone was talking to each other but I kept to myself. the students that got selected to go next door were elementary school classmates from my waking life but instead of them being kids, they were grown. the students that weren't called to go next door were students that went to high school with me in my waking life but it was mostly guys and they were wearing all black. but anyway we were just standing there and I kept to myself and the teacher then told us to sit down or something. everyone sat down and they were all talking to each other being all happy and yappy. they seemed to be eating they're packed lunches. I was the only one that didn't sit down and I had no lunch. I felt like an outcast and really embarrassed just standing there and being lonely. one of the boys kept saying and showing how he felt bad for me and how he felt pity towards me. he was saying out loud how he felt bad for me and how I was standing there by myself alone as if when someone says "you poor thing" to you. he was being genuine not sarcastic. I oddly felt comfort but confused knowing he cared but still did nothing. so i had the idea that since I don't have no lunch to sit down with I can just get my phone and use it while everyone is busy eating and interacting with each other. I remember I left my phone in the other classroom so I went to go get it. I felt really scared and nervous to go because I felt everyone was going to stare at me when I walked in. but despite feeling that way I went anyway. I felt really scared from the inside but my body moved and walked as if I didn't care. when I went inside the classroom I went to wash my hands first. and then when I finished I turned around to go to the desk I was sitting at when I was in that classroom. I felt really nervous but I went anyway as if I didn't care. there was students (the guys that I went to high school with in my waking life) sitting near the desk I sat when I was in that classroom and there was also someone sitting on that desk. the guys were wearing all black and they were also black in race. I felt intimidated by them like they were mean but surprisingly they were nice. I was asking them if the saw a phone, a neon baby blue phone to be specific. (I thought it was weird that my phone was neon baby blue in my dream when my phone in my waking life is actually black.) all of them said no and they were trying to look around their desk to see if they can find it. then I asked another guy sitting near them and he looked under this newspaper sitting on his desk and my phone was there and he gave it to me and I said thank you kindly and he kindly said your welcome back. I walked out of the classroom feeling nice learning the guys weren't as mean or intimidating as they seemed. I went back to the other classroom and sat on the empty table in the back and stared at my phone.
This dream could symbolize feelings of isolation, social anxiety, and a fear of being left out or different from others. The fact that you were in a familiar setting from your past but with people your current age suggests a blending of past experiences with present concerns.
The separation between the elementary classmates and high school classmates, as well as your feeling of being left out and lonely, may reflect a sense of disconnection or difficulty fitting in with different groups. Your classmates from high school wearing all black could represent feelings of darkness, alienation, or a lack of connection with them.
The moment where a boy shows genuine concern for you but doesn't take action could indicate a desire for compassion or understanding from others in real life. Your decision to go get your phone despite feeling nervous could symbolize your inner strength and determination to overcome fears and face challenges.
Finally, finding your neon blue phone, which doesn't match your real-life phone, could represent a sense of discovery, innovation, or finding something unexpected in a challenging situation. The interaction with the students in the other classroom and their unexpected kindness could highlight the importance of looking beyond appearances and assumptions about others.
Overall, this dream may suggest a struggle with social interactions, fears of isolation or being misunderstood, as well as a desire for connection and understanding from others. It could be helpful to reflect on these themes and consider how they relate to your waking life experiences and emotions.
