I was flirting with a very handsome man while his assistant was taking care /installing my garden. When I went outside to look at the work I saw that the woman who worked for him cut down my side garden while I was talking with him. She cut down my tree, my new rose bush, and all my gardenias! The plot was all dirt! I was so mad. She wasn’t sorry when I expressed my outrage. She just shrugged. I went inside and I yelled at the man. I was very angry. I was wearing a long full white skirt, but somehow the back button came off and I wanted to change but had nothing to change into. I went looking and saw a door to my Mother’s room. I went in and looked in her drawer beside her bed. There was nothing in it at all. So I had nothing to borrow. Sal came in “What are you doing in your Mother’s room?” I said I was looking to borrow a pair of pants. They were dressed up, ready to travel. “Do you want me to drive you to the airport I asked?”
Dreams often reflect our subconscious thoughts, feelings, and experiences. In this dream, various themes emerge—emotions surrounding relationships, feelings of loss and anger, the search for identity, and perhaps a quest for support or escape.
Flirting with the Handsome Man: This part of the dream might represent your desires or aspirations for connection, affection, or validation. The handsome man symbolizes an attractive opportunity or a new venture, possibly related to romance or self-advocacy.
The Garden: Gardens often represent personal growth, nurturing, and the results of our hard work. Your outrage at the assistant cutting down your plants might reflect a fear of loss or a feeling that something important in your life is being undermined or taken away. The cutting down of the tree and plants could symbolize a disruption in your life—such as personal or professional setbacks—especially regarding something you cherish or have worked hard to cultivate.
Anger and Confrontation: Your anger towards the man indicates feelings of betrayal or disappointment. This may suggest that you feel overlooked or that someone you trust has not taken responsibility for their actions, or perhaps that you are not being heard in a situation that matters to you.
The White Skirt: The white skirt may symbolize innocence, purity, or a desire to project a certain image. The fact that it’s not fully intact (the back button came off) could suggest feelings of vulnerability or a struggle with your self-presentation. This suggests a conflict between your desire to present yourself well and the reality of your situation.
Searching for Pants: The act of looking for pants can be interpreted as searching for a more grounded or practical approach to your situation. Pants could symbolize a desire for empowerment or assertiveness. Since you have nothing to borrow, this might indicate feelings of inadequacy or a lack of resources in a challenging situation.
Mother's Room: A visit to your mother's room may hint at seeking comfort, nurturing, or wisdom from maternal figures in your life. The empty drawer could suggest feelings of lack or disappointment in your support system when you need it most.
Sal and the Airport: The presence of Sal, and the mention of the airport, introduces a sense of transition or departure. Asking if he wants to drive you to the airport might signify a desire to escape a frustrating situation or to embark on a new journey.
In summary, this dream seems to revolve around the themes of loss, frustration with relationships, vulnerability, and a yearning for support or change. It might reflect your current state of mind or personal life, where you may feel upset about something being taken from you while grappling with your own identity and desires. Reflecting on your waking life can help you find connections to these themes and possibly guide your next steps.
