The dream was very convoluted. I don’t remember the beginning but at one point i was in a house/building where a volunteering experience of some sort was taking place. It wasn’t in my native language, so i assume it wasn’t in my native country, but i managed to find some shelves of books in my native language where i stopped and looked through them since i didn’t know what else to do. One my friends was there and she told me to come to this singer’s party, a singer i am a fan of. In the meantime, a volunteer asked for my help so i went with him to another floor and another room. There was an old lady in a bed and she clearly couldn’t stand me, so i minded my own business in order to not upset her. Suddenly, everything changed. The volunteer started not liking me as well and while i was cleaning the lady’s room he was looking disgustingly towards me. After we left, he made it clear that he hates me, and immediately after i get a text from my friend to tell me we were not invited to the singer’s party anymore because “we weren’t gonna have fun” - his words. i immediately understood that this was just an excuse but i left the building since i was rushing to my own birthday party. There, only my parents, siblings, and grandparents waited for me. It was at a buffet style restaurant with food i hated. I couldn’t take anything to eat and before we set down, my grandpa made a comment to my grandma and uncle about how annoying i am and they started laughing. I couldn’t take it so i went outside to be by myself, but no one was answering my texts and everyone was in group of 2-3 in the garden. It was v difficult for me to find a bench to sit on and when i did, i realized i was right next to a group of 3 ppl. I was sad and sitting without talking/interacting with anyone, when one of them came to me pitifully to ask ab what happened. I gave a brief explanation about how suddenly no one likes me, and the person nodded and then left to do something. I spent some time w the others on the bench but i didnt talk a lot. My mom eventually came out of the restaurant and totally out of character she gave me a weed cigarette so i could calm down, but since i stopped smoking a while back i found it disgusting to drag from it. To my shock, my grandma appeared right next to us with the gift for my bday and she saw my septum piercing which i had hiding for a year+. She was shocked but didnt get mad, she started talking to my mom about it, and i think i woke up very soon after that.
This dream seems to be reflecting feelings of insecurity, rejection, and not being understood. The setting of being in a foreign place and having language barriers could represent feeling out of place or disconnected in a situation. The volunteering experience may symbolize a desire to help and contribute, but encountering negative reactions from others could indicate feelings of rejection or not being appreciated in waking life.
The shift in the dream where your friend tells you that you're not invited to the singer's party and your family's reaction at your birthday party may signify feelings of being left out or not being valued by those around you. The interaction with your grandpa and being laughed at could suggest a fear of being judged or criticized by loved ones.
The moment where you are given a weed cigarette by your mom and your grandma sees your septum piercing hidden for a long time could symbolize aspects of your true self that you may be repressing or hiding from others. Your grandma's reaction being shocked but not getting mad could be a reflection of unexpected acceptance or understanding from someone close to you.
Overall, this dream may be urging you to confront your feelings of rejection and insecurity, express your true self, and seek out understanding and acceptance from those around you. It could also be a reminder to prioritize self-care and not compromise your values or boundaries for the sake of fitting in or pleasing others.
