I am checking into Notre Dane as a freshman with Ed Berkman (a current friend whom I didn’t know then and who did not attend Notre Dame). I go into Cavanaugh Hall (the dorm I actually lived in when I went to ND) and there are girls all over the place, running around and horsing around. (ND was all-male when I went there.) I think something is crazy, but I’m not sure what. I start to put my things away and there is what seems like a giant medicine cabinet that is made up of black compartments that I cannot see into. I have a pack of cigarettes that I put onto the top bunk bed and I go out to meet Ed. I come back to the room and I see one of the girls putting the cigarette pack back and she has a cigarette in her mouth. I can’t find Ed and then I realize it is an all-girls dorm (which in fact it is today) and I don’t belong there.

This dream intricately weaves elements from your past with aspects of your present and perhaps even desires or anxieties about the future. Let's break down the various components of your dream:

  1. Checking into Notre Dame with Ed Berkman:

    • Friendship and Connection: Ed Berkman represents a current friendship. Your dream places him in a time and place where he didn't actually exist for you, perhaps indicating a blending of past and present connections. This could suggest a longing to share formative experiences with people you value today, or it might symbolize how strong friendships transcend time, blending past and present.

  2. Cavanaugh Hall:

    • Nostalgia: Returning to a dorm you actually lived in evokes strong feelings of nostalgia. This might indicate a reflection on your college years, considering the experiences and changes since then.
    • Changing Environment: The transformation of ND into a co-ed space with girls running around symbolizes change and progress, contrasting your memory of it being all-male. This highlights your acknowledgment of societal or institutional changes over time.

  3. Girls in the Dorm:

    • Discomfort and Displacement: Realizing you are in an all-girls dorm when it used to be all-male can reflect feelings of displacement or discomfort in changed environments. It might suggest a struggle with adapting to changes or confronting situations where you feel out of place or unwelcome.

  4. Giant Medicine Cabinet with Black Compartments:

    • Hidden Aspects: The medicine cabinet with opaque compartments suggests unknown or unexplored parts within yourself or aspects of your life. The inability to see inside could relate to fears, secrets, or unexplored opportunities waiting for clarity.
    • Personal Health or Habits: Medicine cabinets often relate to health or habits, highlighting concerns or awareness about personal well-being or lifestyle choices, possibly linked to the cigarettes.

  5. Cigarettes and the Girl:

    • Confrontation with Habits: Your cigarettes possibly symbolize habits or addictions. Seeing the girl take one might represent external influences affecting personal choices or a reflection on shared habits.
    • Loss of Control: Not being able to locate Ed and witnessing someone take your cigarettes can reflect feelings of losing control over personal domains or decisions, or anxiety about others’ perceptions of your choices.

  6. Realization and Adaptation:

    • Acknowledgment of Change: Realizing the dorm is for girls and deciding you don’t belong indicates self-awareness and acknowledgment of changes in environments or roles. It suggests an eventual acceptance or adaptation to current realities and the necessity to find your rightful place in them.

This dream serves as a tapestry of reflections on the past, the ongoing evolution of roles and identities, and the need to adapt to changes whether in social contexts, friendships, or personal habits. It gently nudges you to embrace changes constructively while cherishing valuable connections and memories.
