I had a a dream I was being driven to school like I was a little girl from my house in Texas. My mom told me, we leave at 6:00 o’clock AM. She drove me to school across the bridge 🌁 in Rockwall. Usually when I am on the Rockwall bridge I look out the window to see the pretty lake water. But this time my view was obstructed. There were tiny houses being built on both sides of the water. They weren’t pretty houses. They looked like shacks. We finally drove to a point where I could see the water. Instead of it being pretty it was and ugly brown and it had lots of industrial boats and oil tanks in it. We kept driving. Then we got to a point where my mom parked the car and we got on a school bus. My mom didn’t drive the school bus but she sat in a seat with me. On the bus were people from my past (old colleagues I don’t talk to anymore, family members I have lost touch with). I don’t know where we were going but I know the feeling I had as we rode. I was happy. I was happy because for some reason I know I wasn’t going where everyone else was going although we were on the same school bus. My destination was different than theirs but I didn’t tell anyone on that bus. Then I got to a new apartment in a new city. It was mine. My mom was with me. I began decorating it the way I wanted. I bought a rug, coffee table, side table with tulips in the vase, and a small sectional sofa. Chosen broke a piece of the bathroom vanity while my mom and I were away. I was really mad about it. I told my mom I would have to pay for it because this was a brand new apartment but now I would be charged for the broken vanity. My mom told me to be creative and fix it. I put the broken piece back in the vanity and began filling in the cracks to fix it. Then I realized that nothing in the bathroom was new or real. It was an illusion. The wall were styrofoam, the vanity wasn’t brand new upon closer inspection and it was made of cushioning and styrofoam.
This dream could be reflecting feelings of nostalgia for a simpler time in your life, possibly representing your childhood or past relationships. The journey to school with your mother symbolizes a sense of guidance and security, but the changes in the environment along the way may suggest a shift in your perception of familiar places or people in your life. The obstructed view of the lake and the industrial setting may symbolize feelings of disappointment or disillusionment with aspects of your current reality that were once beautiful or idealized. The presence of old colleagues and family members on the school bus could represent unresolved feelings or unfinished business with these individuals from your past. Arriving at a new apartment in a new city may symbolize a desire for a fresh start or a need for change in your waking life. The act of decorating the apartment the way you wanted could signify a desire for autonomy and self-expression, potentially suggesting a need to assert your individuality or make changes that align with your personal preferences. The broken piece of the bathroom vanity could represent feelings of frustration or imperfection in your current situation. Your mother's advice to be creative and fix it could symbolize the need to find solutions or make the best out of challenging circumstances. The realization that the apartment's features were not as they seemed may indicate a need to reassess your expectations or perceptions of your surroundings. Overall, this dream may be prompting you to reflect on your past, your current relationships, and your desire for personal growth and authenticity. It may be encouraging you to embrace change, resolve past issues, and find creative solutions to challenges in your waking life.
