I am at a college. I am to give a talk to a large audience. I am the third speaker. I am on stage, but off on the side. I think my two papers (notes) are on the floor close to the podium where the one speaker is talking. I crawl over and look. They are not there.
I go to look for the papers. I am with two women. I think one of them is Sheila La Corre. We go to my classroom. I look for the notes on my computer. For some reason, I did not save them. There is a package in the room. I open it. There is a wrapped gift from a friend. (I can’t remember what it is when I wake).
I am disappointed that I cannot find my notes. I decide to call and say I need to cancel. Then I get a message from the university that something happened and it had to close. I am somewhat relieved, but also nervous that something “bad” may have happened to have it close.
I worked on this dream by just looking at the verbs. This dream could be about me asking Kevin about having connection with Markus and Rowan. I did send a voice note this morning and at the end asked where he was at re Paul and I reconnecting with the boys. No message back yet.
Ideas:
Give a talk, is talking- communication. Someone else is talking, not me. Crawl- moving on hands and knees, making myself small, unseen. Leave- go away
Look- using my eyes to see something
Did not save- did not keep, lost, didn’t hold on to
See- become aware of
Open- discover
cannot find- something is lost, not available
call- communicate
cancel-stop something, not going forward with something
closed- something has stopped, not longer available
think-thoughts in my mind
I think this dream has to do with wanting to communicate with my son about having contact with his sons. I am being passive about this. (I watch two others give their talks). I lose my notes. I don’t know how to approach him about this. I think by making myself small, meek (crawling) this will help me communicate with him better. That doesn’t work. I am trying out ways to approach my son and the old way is not going to work (can’t find my notes and did not save them on the computer). There is a gift involved, but I do not know what it is (can’t remember the gift in the dream). I call to cancel my talk. I am giving up on how to approach Kevin, what to say. Then I find out the whole University closed. University could related to higher learning. Maybe, I am missing out on higher learning by not communicating with Kevin about getting reconnected to my grandsons.
My dream begins in college. Colleges that add master degrees and doctorates become universities. So in my dream something in this process will elevate. A result of the gift, wisdom is on the way. I don’t really understand why the university closes, though. Maybe it has to do with my spouse who has lost his memory, no longer able to be an advanced student of life. And the name “university” says “universe” to me. Perhaps a major, dimensional shift is a result of the closing of the original universe. I believe universes are unlimited elements.
