I have this recurring dream on the same tall high rise apartment building in the coastal city where I grew up. The floor plan is shaped like a long flat rectangle, has a face on both sides with apartment balconies extending our. In the dream, there are hardly any people if at all and the world seems post apocalyptic. The building is usually cracked in half and leaning slightly. Despite this, a few people still live in some of the units. Some of the units contained dead people who were shot. One of the floors was a common area that looked like the inside of a mall, there were flat water fountains, escalators, stores, and food places. Only one food place was open, with a blonde teenage boy serving French fries which I bought and ate. Much of this dream was spent trying to climb out of the windows to get down because the building kept creaking and seeming like it would lean until it broke
This dream could symbolize feelings of insecurity or anxiety about the future. The tall high rise apartment building could represent the dreamer's goals or aspirations in life, while the post apocalyptic world could symbolize the dreamer's fear of not achieving these goals. The dead people in the dream could represent the dreamer's fears or doubts about their ability to succeed. The blonde teenage boy serving French fries could represent the dreamer's hope or optimism in spite of these fears.
