I had a dream that slowly became more intense and scary as it went along. Me and an old school buddy were making our way around a new town and we started to fly using tiny bird clips. Mine kept coming loose and I felt like I was falling. I followed my friend in to a tattoo shop to get away from the hectic busy town. We accidentally walked in to the wrong room and they all judged us harshly even though it was an easy mistake to make. One patron called us idiots and I began to challenge her. She kept being very rude and so the arguement intesified, noone stepped in to say anything. I told them all this experience totally put me off getting any work done at their shop. The tattoo artist said his patron has psychosis and doesn't know what she's saying but it felt like a lie just so he didn't lose a potential customer.
This dream could represent feelings of insecurity and vulnerability in a new or unfamiliar situation. Flying using tiny bird clips could symbolize a sense of freedom and empowerment, but the fact that your clip kept coming loose and you felt like you were falling suggests a lack of control or fear of losing your stability.
Walking into the wrong room at the tattoo shop may indicate a desire to escape the chaos and expectations of the outside world, seeking solace in a quieter and more personal environment. However, being judged harshly and called names by the others in the room reflects a fear of being criticized or misunderstood.
Your challenge to the rude person in the dream signifies a need to defend yourself and stand up for what you believe in. The intensity of the argument and the lack of intervention from others may point to a feeling of isolation or a belief that you have to face challenges on your own.
The explanation given by the tattoo artist about his patron having psychosis may represent a projection of your own doubts about people's true intentions. It could suggest that you are skeptical about others' excuses or justifications, suspecting that they may be insincere.
Overall, this dream seems to reflect a sense of unease and a need to assert yourself in the face of judgment and adversity. It may indicate a desire for greater control over your circumstances and a willingness to confront negative experiences that can inhibit personal growth.
