I am leading/teaching a dream class at a college. A lot of extra people show up. I am in a square room with rectangular tables a long all four sides. I am standing in the middle. I ask some people to move so I don’t have people behind me.
It is a woman’s turn to share her dream. She is shy and has a quiet voice. She starts to read her dream. Many people are talking and I ask them to be quiet. They do so. Two women, however, keep talking and giggling. I tell them to leave. They are miffed, but they do so. I am angry.
Next scene: I am still at the college but have left my room. I am trying to find it again. I am lost. I find Renee in a room. She is helping to clean up dishes with a few other people. Her room is close to mine so I think I will wait for her and walk back when she does.
Next scene: I am walking with a male professor who teaches in a room close to mine. He makes a comment about hearing me yell at the students. He is teasing me and I enjoy it.
I shared this dream with my sister, Chris. This is what I wrote: I am teaching at a college-a place of higher learning. I am in a square room-square can symbolize self actualization. I ask the students to move who would be behind me. I want to be in front of the class-in control? Extra people have come in and the group is noisy. I need more grounding and quiet. A shy, quiet girl is sharing her dream. (could be a part of me). It is hard to hear her. Two girls are talking and laughing. I tell them to leave. I feel this is me having strong boundaries and am taking control in a positive way. Later, I get lost. Maybe lose my sense of strong boundaries. (a new person came to my last in person group and invaded my boundaries by saying why don’t you do the meditations instead of using Insight Timer and don’t you think it would be a good idea to say a prayer of protection before we start dream work?) I think I can find my way back with Renee who can be too accommodating. That doesn’t happen. I am then with a male professor-my masculine. We are walking down the hall going back to our rooms. I am no longer lost. He teases me about yelling. I can laugh at myself and don’t take myself so seriously.
I love that you have a dream about teaching dreamwork at college. Your guidance is at professor-level, from my perspective. And how great that you have your matching male aspect tease you in the dream.
A shy, quiet woman and two loud, bossy women. The diversity of personalities in your current dream groups?
