I had a dream that at first, I was in this massive apartment building, trying to find a female energy mystic to increase the size of my bust and help me with my confidence issues. I knew she lived somewhere near the top floor judging by the note in my pocket, so I went up the stairs and started checking in each floor. At first I didn’t find much but a bunch of empty doors, until I reached the second floor from the top and found police in there near an apartment. I managed to sneak past them though and continue up the stairs. I was then at the top floor, and I found that one of the doors had a red evil-eye symbol covered in a massive glittering spotlight, which was painted over it and covered the apartment number. I thought to myself “aha! This must be the mystic’s place,” so I carefully opened the door and made my way inside. The house was dirty and damp, looking like an expanded yet far more decrepit version of Merluvlee’s tent or the house of those psychic sisters from Coraline, with pagan and spiritual artifacts all over the place. I ignored most of them though, and went straight towards the glowing crystal ball towards the end of the place. I sat in front of the crystal ball, and began tapping it out of boredom while whistling to myself. At first, nothing seem to happen, but then suddenly, the crystal ball began to glow and a middle-aged black witch came out from the bathroom. She said to me “YOUNG LADY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!” As she ran over to the other side of the table and stared at me with an expression of pure shock. I told her while feeling quite ashamed “I am looking for your services to increase my feminine aura, I’m sorry if I scared you…” to which she immediately calmed down and said “okay dear, hold my hand and close your eyes. Then I will perform the sacred ritual, for the crystal ball will turn you blind if you peek for too long.” I obliged, grabbing the mystic’s hand and holding my eyes shut. I noticed the world glow brighter and brighter, until suddenly, I began to feel the wind on my back and car noises. I stayed like this for a while, until suddenly, I heard a shopkeeper say “what do you want, miss?” I then opened my eyes, to see I was in front of a shop counter with an impatient shopkeeper behind it, as I was holding a pokemon game and a whole lot of makeup in my hands. I told him “I’d like to buy this please,” as I reached into the adorable royal purple alligator-hide purse adorned with a golden clasp that I now had, and took out around a hundred dollars to pay for my goods. I slammed it down on the counter and told the shopkeeper “keep the change, I got a date with a boy.” Before I took my makeup and the pokemon game, put them in my purse, then ran out of the shop and through the door to the internet café down the street. I walked inside, to see a whole bunch of early 00’s computers running games like quake, doom, Minecraft, etc., as well as multiple doors in the back labeled “couples room” followed by a number. I decided to start looking there, so I popped open each door. The first door had a couple in there making out while playing a lewd dating sim, the second door had a guy masturbating alone in there, the third had a junkie sleeping at the computer, and the fourth had a whole bunch of teenagers inside speaking in old timey accents while wearing powdered wigs. Confused, and thinking it was a prank from one of my dates, I sat down in a chair at the corner of the table and listened. I began to hear them talking about things like the “constitution” and “continental congress” while almost none of them were using the computers. I thought this was odd, and went to open my mouth to ask them a question, before I then realized all of the kids were the spitting image of the founding fathers. I then began to grow freaked out, thinking it was a method acting project, so I didn’t interrupt them at all as I began to take out the pokemon game from my purse and read the box. The game was called “Legends: Rayquaza” and it took place in a primeval Hoenn region where the sea levels were far lower, and the land was covered in volcanoes and constantly ravaged by tsunami after tsunami. I remember that the tagline went something like “Reclaim the legendary Rayquaza and restore order to the weather!” And the back description basically said what you would expect about the new features and open world gameplay, save for a new box reading “peer to peer MMO experience” and advertising 16 Person multiplayer with a screenshot of 12 trainers fighting a Primal Rayquaza possessed by the distant ancestor of Steven Stone. I thought “my god, this seems fun… if my date isn’t gonna show up, I just gotta show this to Michael,” while very excited about giving the game a try. I began to get up from the chair, but as I did so, the kid dressed as George Washington began to stare at me with his entirely milk white eyes as he slowly pulled out an old timey flintlock from his coat pocket. Saying nothing, I bursted through the couple’s room door again, and somehow this caused me to end up back in my room. All of a sudden, as if nothing weird had happened, I was back with my roommate Michael, and we were talking about the game and ready to give it a try. I opened the game to check for any manual or inserts included in the box, when I then found something I wasn’t expecting. It was a folded up map of the primal Hoenn region contained within a sleeve. I went to unfold it, only to realize in shock that I was quite a bit torn up with chunks missing. The majority of it was still intact though, so I asked Michael “can you fix this, please? It is the pre-order bonus.” He obliged, taking the map and a roll of scotch tape, as he began to repair it. I waited and tapped my foot for a while in impatience, until then after about 5 minutes, he had fixed the map and handed it to me. I then went to hang it up on the wall, only to then feel a sudden headache and see several repeated flashes of dark purple. After this, I instantly awoke in my bed, feeling relatively well-rested, along with being a bit sad for some unknown reason. FIN.
Your dream presents a rich tapestry of symbolism, emotions, and vivid scenarios that reflect both your inner concerns and aspirations. Let’s break down the primary components to interpret its meaning.
Massive Apartment Building: The building signifies complexity and structure in your life. It could represent the various aspects of yourself that you are exploring or confronting—especially femininity, confidence, and personal identity. The multiple floors may suggest different levels of consciousness or stages in your personal journey.
Female Energy Mystic: Your search for the mystic symbolizes a desire for help and a deeper understanding of your feminine energy or self-worth. It may reflect a quest for empowerment or transformation, as you seek external guidance to boost your confidence—often tied to how you perceive femininity culturally and personally.
Climbing Stairs: Ascending the building relates to personal growth and the effort to elevate your self-image and confidence. The vacant doors could represent feelings of loss or isolation in your current path, while encountering police signifies authority figures or societal pressures you might feel constrained by in your quest for self-improvement.
Dirty and Decrepit Space: This may indicate that you've been neglecting vital aspects of your life or that your journey toward self-acceptance has not been straightforward. The chaos in the mystic's home reflects the messiness of navigating identity issues.
Crystal Ball and Ritual: The crystal ball symbolizes potential and insight into your future, while the ritual indicates a desire for transformation through introspection or spirituality. The instruction not to peek implies that true understanding and growth require patience and trust.
Transformation into a Shopkeeper Scenario: When you emerge in the shop, it suggests a shift in perspective. You may find new opportunities for self-expression and the development of your personal style. The purse and makeup are symbols of femininity and self-empowerment. Holding money and declaring a "date with a boy" reflects a newfound confidence and eagerness to embrace social situations.
Nostalgic Setting: The café filled with early 2000s games depicts a comfort zone, perhaps alluding to memories of adolescence or times when you felt more carefree. The doors labeled "couples room" may represent your exploration of romantic relationships or social dynamics.
Founding Fathers’ Vision: This surreal encounter can signal a confrontation with historical or traditional views of femininity and masculinity. The representation of the Founding Fathers may reflect societal expectations and pressures. The potential threat from the George Washington figure, combined with the associated historical context, suggests anxieties regarding how these expectations play out in your life, especially as you pursue your own identity.
Returning to Your Room with Michael: This might reflect returning to reality or the comfort of friendship and shared experiences. The game and the torn map symbolize your aspirations and the need for direction in reconstructing your identity or desires.
Feeling of Sadness Upon Awakening: This bittersweet feeling may indicate that while you are aware of the changes you wish to make and the potential for growth, you also recognize the effort and challenges involved in this transformation. The tears could represent a release of pent-up emotions concerning self-image, change, or the weight of societal expectations.
Your dream encapsulates a profound exploration of identity, societal pressures, self-worth, and desire for transformation. It’s a call to embrace both your strengths and vulnerabilities while navigating the complexities of femininity and personal aspirations. Reflecting on these themes in your waking life can aid in your journey toward greater self-acceptance and empowerment. Consider journaling your thoughts or discussing them with trusted friends to further unpack these emotions and insights.
