I dreamed I was at my former job at the university. I parked and was with my mother who is deceased and left her in the car while I walked around. I arrived to the front entrance and saw a banner for new students a welcome and also for other to apply. When I looked at the lower right all the mascots of the university system were there but the one of my new workplace which is a lion was in the front instead of the owl which would had been the expected one. I decided to return to my mother and on my way was approached with a colleague from Another department that greeted me and started talking. He asked me to join him In his car to talk as if the ca wa spike an office. I entered and another young man was also there. I the had my car with meas he talked. When I looked out I was in a theater like area where the car was parked. There were many people and young adults with graduation gowns. I was surprised because it was not graduation season. The colleague told me that was the graduation of the music school which was different from Others. There were kioks in the front and nearby. The women in the front kioks offered us food. It I declined. The conversation ended and I needed to get to my mother who was still waiting for me. The colleague who was sitting in the front passenger seat while I in the back one behind him, opened abruptly the door as I was looking for my car. It was there and jumped out. I rapidly opened the door to trap him but it ran and disappeared in all the plants on campus I became hysterics because this was a new place for him and I didn’t know how to trap It. The colleague told me nonchalant that it got lost so I should get another one. I was in crisis on how to tell my mother and at home I had lost the cat. Then suddenly I had a cat but it was nit the same one. But my didn’t notice and I arrived home. There it jumped and went to the back yard. I entered the living room and suddenly a package arrived. I went out and it was a big box. But when opened it had a smaller one. I was excited thinking it was a cañera I was waiting for. But when I opened it it was something else which I handed to my brother and he left with it. It was something he was waiting for. The other smaller package I had no idea what it was. I touched it trying to guess as I spoke to my mother. When I did it was used earrings with appealing designs like I like. I then remembered I had ordered these.
Your dream unfolds like an intricate story, weaving together elements of the past, present, and subconscious emotions. Here's a detailed interpretation of your dream components:
Former Job and Deceased Mother: Dreaming of your former workplace suggests a longing or nostalgic feeling towards a past situation or period in your life that held significance for you. The presence of your deceased mother may symbolize comfort, guidance, or unresolved emotions connected to her. You leaving her in the car might indicate an area of your life that you haven't fully explored or a feeling of something left unattended.
University Entrance and Mascots: Seeing a banner welcoming new students signifies new beginnings or opportunities, either already present or on the horizon. The unusual placement of the lion mascot, representing your new workplace, suggests a feeling of your new experiences overshadowing the old (the owl). This could reflect your current priorities or where your energy is focused.
Colleague in the Car: The interaction with your colleague represents communication and interaction within your professional environment, perhaps suggesting a desire for collaboration or support. The car being like an office space implies a merging of personal and professional boundaries.
Theater and Graduation Scene: Finding yourself in a theater with unexpected graduation signifies recognition and achievements that might have come unexpectedly. Graduations symbolize transitions and accomplishments, possibly reflecting a stage you're currently navigating in your life.
Food Offer and Colleague’s Advice: Declining food could suggest hesitance or selective acceptance of offerings in your life. The nonchalant advice from your colleague to "get another one" when you lost the cat hints at feelings of loss but also the encouragement to move forward and find new paths or solutions.
Cat Episode: Cats often symbolize independence, intuition, and the mysterious side of our personality. Losing the cat and your reaction to it might represent a fear of losing control over an important aspect of your life or a part of yourself.
Package and Excitement/Misunderstanding: The sequence of boxes symbolizes expectations and surprises; perhaps what you seek is not immediately visible. Receiving something unexpected that benefits someone else (your brother) implies feelings of giving or support to others even amid your own anticipation and needs.
Earrings and Conversation with Mother: Finding the earrings, something you like and perhaps forgot about, suggests rediscovery of aspects you value, which is also tied to personal aesthetics or expressions. The conversation with your mother could illustrate a dialogue with yourself, processing these findings and realizations.
In summary, this dream combines nostalgia, new beginnings, professional relationships, unexpected achievements, personal loss, and rediscovery. It illustrates life's unpredictability and the myriad ways we navigate through familiar and unfamiliar territories, all while maintaining connections to those we've loved and lost.
