Late for High School

 

I dreamed I was going to be late to high school. It was after 1pm so my English class had already started.  I called the school office to let them know I’d be late and left a message.  However, then I got busy with my job and never left.  I had a bunch of mail to get ready to send out, so I started stuffing things in envelopes and moistening them with one of two wet sponges.  Then I took a large envelope that had come in to the comptroller.  Someone had sent her and 8 ½ X 11” Hershey Bar.

 

End of my dream.  In real life I am in my 60’s, so I’m not in high school.  Also, I do not stuff envelopes for my job.  What does this mean?

Marsha here:  Hi J:

 

Let’s look at the symbols first:

 

High school:  learning higher level things

 

1 = God

 

English class = if you are American (or another English-speaking country), this might mean communication with others

 

Busy = distracted with other things

 

Comptroller = management supervising quality of accounting ; authority over accountability

 

                                 (accounting = being “accountable” for actions)

 

8 = new beginnings

 

11 = revelation

 

Hershey bar = sweet things to “feed upon” or learn

 

 

 

Now, what or who is the Focus of the dream?  

 

The Focus is YOU.

 

So, what or who are the Sub-focuses of the dream?  Or, to clarify, what or who…if they were not in the dream would cause the dream to not exist?    

 

I believe the Sub-focuses are:  High School,   Concerned about being Late

 

So all else are details.  Let’s look at this:

 

 

 

Focus:  You

 

Sub-Focus:   High School                       Concerned about being Late

 

Details:   English class (way to communicate with others)    

 

1 pm (God) 

 

Comptroller = an authority (probably a woman “she”) who is an authority                                                            over accountability issues

 

8 = new beginnings

 

Busy = distracted

 

                                Describes what you are “busy” distracted by:  Job, mail, envelopes.

 

                               

 

The Focus and the Sub-Focuses pretty much say what the dream is about:

 

You are concerned you are late in learning of higher level (or spiritual) things.

 

Wow!   Quick and easy, by just looking at the Focus and Sub-Focus.   The details add enrichment as to what you will be learning on this higher level, and why you are late getting the teachings.  The higher level of learning includes how to talk to others/communicate with others.  It is after God.   You are distracted by such things as work.  But even in your distraction, you witness someone with authority over accountability issues receive new beginnings and revelation of sweet things (teachings).

 

 

 

So, to paraphrase the interpretation, I would say:

 

You feel you have been missing out on spiritual teachings because you’ve been distracted by such things as work.  But even in your distraction, you witness an authority over action accountability who receives new beginnings and revelation of sweet teachings.

 

   

 

 

 

   

 

 

Someone Pushing Elevator Buttons

 

I have read your book.  I like it very much.  Can you interpret this dream that I had last night?  F.E.

 

 

 

The elevator door opens at the sixth floor.  A person pushes a button and says, “Down we go!”  Everyone on the elevator yells, “No! No!  We are going to the eighth floor!”  The person pushes a button again and the elevator jerks.  I sit down on the floor because I have lost my balance.  A lady near me does the same thing.  The person pushes the number eight button and we go to the eighth floor.  Everyone leaves the elevator and I am the last to go through the elevator door.  I am not sure which way to go.

 

 

Hi!  Let’s look at your dream. 

Who is the Focus?   In other words, who or what is the main thing or purpose the dream is centered around?

 

  • I believe the Focus is the elevator and its buttons.  And what can the elevator and its buttons be symbolic of? 
    • An elevator is often symbolic for 1) way of lifting up out of a situation or going down into a situation; or 2) choices made.
    • Pushing the buttons may be a “play-on-words:”  someone is “pushing your buttons” or causing you to react

 

Okay, what’s the Sub-focus?  

 

  • I believe the Sub-focus is the person who is “pushing the buttons.”  This may be symbolic for someone who is doing things to cause you, and others in the same situation you are in, to react.
  • Another Sub-focus is you and others who are reacting and upset.

 

So putting just the Focus and Sub-focus together, this dream may be saying that you are in a place (along with others) where someone is “pushing your buttons” or causing you grief or stress. 

 


Now, let’s look at the details of the dream:

 

  • 6th floor – place of man: weakness of man (Gen 2:2-3, 2:7, Rev 13:18, Lev 25:3)
  • 8th floor – place of new beginnings and saved (Gen 17:12, 1Pet 3:20);
  • Lost my balance – ability to keep life “balanced” is gone
  • Door – choice (Gen 4:7, Mt 7:13, Rev 3:8, 3:20, 4:1).
  • Everyone leaves –  others choose to get out from under the control of the one who is causing the stress
  • You are last to leave – You seem to be under the stress longer than others around you.
  • Not sure which way to go – undergo a time of confusion about what your next action should be.

 

 Okay, now let’s put the details into the dream and see what we get:

 

This dream may be saying that you are in a place (along with others) where someone is causing you grief and stress.  This results in human weakness issues.  This particularly causes you to lose your ability to keep your life “balanced’.  You, and others affected are seeking salvation from this and a new beginning. You see others get out from the situation before you are able to do it.  Even when you finally get out of the situation, you will have a period of time where you will be confused about what your next action should be.

 

Interpretation is done. Now, just Marsha talking: 

 

Why did God give you this dream?  I believe He gave you this dream to let you know HE knows what you are dealing with or have dealt with.  I also believe it is a word of encouragement that you will eventually get out of whatever the situation is.  OR, if this is a dream about something you’ve already gone through, then it is a word of encouragement that you  may be in a place of confusion, but it’s okay.   The Lord is with you!
