Decorating with plate covers Going to top floor of office bldg Forgetting the 2nd office bldg Returning to I'd for stuck in elevator Held captive by Fox News, Trump Called zk for help I was given a task or maybe I took on a task at work of decorating for the holidays ahead of time There were these disks that looked like dinner plate covers that I guess also doubled as responders or transmitters for the agency. I'm not fully sure. I had a bulldozer or crane. Something with a lot of reach. I was with Cantrell from work and he told me I should place some on the roof of the skyscraper next door for decoration and information transmition, even though they didn't belong to the agency. I did it, even though I only half-heartedly agreed. On that or the 2nd neighboring skyscraper I placed a green plate cover on the roof. When I got back to the office, I got the sense or was afraid that I had done something wrong or inappropriate by putting this plate covers on the roofs of other buildings. There were some higher-ups that were on the office floor and I was afraid of disappointing them or getting in trouble or getting shit talked about me. I was with Javier from my first serving job. I guess we both worked together here. We were going to partner up and retrieve those plate covers back from those roofs. Only I didnt have the machinery now and I didn't sleep to get it because I would have the dexterity that I would need to grab them with the crane. I entered the secure lobby of the first building. Waited in line to speak with the security person and explained to them what I needed. I was given a guard to accompany me up to the roof. He was Joey from a previous serving job. The elevator went up to the 98th floor, pretty tall for a building that didn't look that high. We got to the roof and he held on to my shirt because he would be liable for my fall from the edge and also because he wanted me to stick to my path and not see things I'm not supposed to see for security reasons. I saw a bunch of brown plate covers on the roof. Some of them might have been mine, but I wasn't sure. I was really looking for the green one. I saw one that was more sea green or light green. I don't remember seeing that one before, but it was the only green one on that roof, so I took it. We got back down and as I got to the lobby of my building I saw Javier walking out. I thought that he would accompany me to the 2nd building to get the other plate covers. I was sure the green one was on top of the 2nd building. He told me to forget it and that no one would care. I was disappointed, but figured why expend the energy of it was for nothing. I got in the elevator to return to my floor and an Asian man got in with me as well. The elevator started ascending, but when it got to around floor 8, Nothing happened. The elevator stopped but the doors didnt open. I was afraid the elevator would crash, but instead it slowly went back down to the lobby. Once there the doors still didn't open. I pressed to lobby button in hopes of getting out, but the Asian man pushed the button for the floor he was going to before I could push the lobby button. The elevator started going back up. The same thing happened again. When it got to the lobby, I got the doors to open, but the elevator wasn't flush with the floor level of the lobby and I would have to climb out. Before I determined if it was safe enough to do so, the Asian man tried to go out, but the elevator started moving upward again and with the doors open. The Asian man scraped his head and nose on the lobby ceiling before falling back into the elevator. We both say on the elevator floor and I held him in my arms. He was or seemed unconscious. I pushed the speaker button for help. I was routed to the 16th floor where Tucker Carlson and Donald Tumrump were having an interview. They told me we could come to the 16th floor for security reasons, but yet they were keeping us locked up in the elevator. I picked up my cell phone and called my manager for help. She picked up and the dream ended.
This dream is rich with symbolism and multiple layers of meaning, often reflecting your subconscious concerns, experiences, and emotions. Let’s break down some of the key elements and themes:
Decorating with Plate Covers: The act of decorating, especially ahead of time, may signify your desire to prepare or control a situation in your life. The plate covers could represent the façade you put on in professional or social settings—trying to cover up or present something in a pleasing manner.
Office Buildings and Hierarchies: The journey through the office buildings can symbolize your career or work life, particularly your concerns about fitting into the hierarchy or meeting expectations. Forgetting the second building may suggest feelings of overwhelm or neglecting certain responsibilities.
Fear of Authority and Mistakes: Your anxiety about disappointing higher-ups and feeling like you did something wrong indicates a fear of judgment or failure in your professional life. This tension is common when one feels scrutinized or pressured to perform.
Seeking Approval/Taking Risks: The directive from Cantrell to place the covers on another building, even though they didn't belong to your agency, reflects the conflict between following instructions that may lead you into ethically ambiguous situations and your own sense of right and wrong.
The Elevator: Elevators often symbolize transitions or a means of moving between different levels of understanding or consciousness. The malfunctioning elevator can represent feelings of being stuck or trapped in a situation where you feel you lack control—such as in your career or personal life.
The Asian Man and Helping Others: Your instinct to help the stranger in the elevator reveals your empathetic nature. However, his injury and the chaotic situation reflect the unpredictability of reaching out to others and the risks involved when you attempt to help those around you, especially when you feel vulnerable.
Fox News and Trump: The presence of these figures denotes feelings of being trapped in a reality shaped by powerful narratives or ideologies. This suggests an internal struggle with societal pressures, norms, or expectations in your environment, particularly regarding politics or media influence.
Calling for Help: Getting through to your manager at the end of the dream suggests a desire for guidance or support in navigating difficult situations. It emphasizes your need for assistance from those in positions of authority or responsibility when you're feeling overwhelmed.
Overall, this dream could be reflecting various pressures in your waking life regarding work responsibilities, fears of failure, balancing personal ethics in professional scenarios, and navigating complex social dynamics. It might be a call for self-reflection on where you feel constrained and how you can better assert your boundaries and seek help when needed. Consider exploring the underlying emotions connected with these themes in your daily life, as they might provide insight and clarity moving forward.
