I was at my old school and this guy was making fun of me. He saught me out for days to torment me then asked me why I was ignoring him. I lied and signed to him that I was deaf. He felt bad and we started hanging out. I continued to pretend to be deaf but he eventually caught on.
Dreams about being in a school setting often reflect themes of learning, personal development, and unresolved issues from the past. The fact that this dream features an old school suggests you might be revisiting past experiences or feelings related to your formative years. The guy who is making fun of you symbolizes a part of your past that has made you feel vulnerable or marginalized. This tormenting could represent unresolved feelings of insecurity or anxiety about how others perceive you. The act of pretending to be deaf indicates a desire to avoid confrontation or criticism. It may reflect feelings of being overwhelmed or a need to protect yourself from emotional pain by withdrawing from social interactions. When the guy starts feeling bad for you and you begin to hang out, it represents an opening up to potential connections and friendships, even in the face of past hurt. However, the eventual discovery of your façade may signify fear of being vulnerable and the anxiety about being 'found out' or not being accepted for who you truly are. Overall, this dream could be exploring themes of identity, acceptance, and the complexities of social interactions. It may suggest that you are navigating feelings of self-worth and the balance between self-protection and genuine connection with others. Consider if there are aspects in your current life where you might feel judged or misunderstood, and reflect on whether you are being authentic in your interactions.
