[LittleForgetMeNot]

and I made friends and was outgoing. The school I went to was my old elementary school that for some reason was a high school in my head. But then I got in trouble for something that I don't remember and they sent me to the office. There I argued with the office ladies and as soon as they were gone to get the principal I ran away. They came after me, the teachers, principal, my dad, and truancy officers.. When I finally got home my Dad and a counselor was there, and I kept running away and ran to the back of my building. There I seen my brother on the see-saw and for a moment they were distracted so I tried to hide. It failed, and they came down to try and talk to me. But I was shaking in my dream, my skin was as white as paper and I couldn't talk. My Dad told her that he didn't know why I was like this, it was like I was insane or something and the woman counselor said "maybe that was what the skipping school and depression was trying to tell us, that she was slipping down into insanity but now it's too late for her since no one tried to stop it."

Then I got freaked out and woke up. I really hate this dream. I don't ever have nightmares but I think this might be one. It's touched upon too many current issues (which NEVER happens in my dreams) and.. I just feel really bad.

I'm sorry

That sounds scary. School dreams always freak me out anyways. I had a high school dream the other day and kept missing the bus for whatever reason. That was the whole dream. I kept trying to get to school and I was always late. Mine definitely was not scary like yours....just frustrating.

I'm sorry to hear about the dream too.... can be pretty scary.. im not so sure what it means though.. did u have problems back in school.. it could be the route cause of the dream..

Yeah I've been skipping school since 6th grade. I'd rather stay home and sleep and I've just lost the ability to care much about my future. I know it's important but I cannot make myself view it as such a thing. My Dad really wants me to go of course and I'm seeing therapists who are trying to figure out why I don't go and why I'm depressed. I suppose it does make a lot of sense when you realte it to real life situations, but it was extremely over the top in that dream and really scary.

Hello LittleForgetMeNot!

My! Such a fascinating dream!

Do you have any idea of what it might mean, or if it even means anything?

If I may, I'd like to give you my two cent interpretation of your dream. Ok?

Ok, but just a minute, I need to go put on my dream interpreter hat...

Ah, I'm back now. But, don't say a THING about my dorky looking hat. I kinda like the way it makes me feel, sorta like I MIGHT know what the heck I'm talking about...

Alright... your dream...

It seems clear that you're pretty darned stressed over whatever it is that's going on in your life. You've made some decisions that you wish had been otherwise. Of course, like most decisions people make, you weren't even aware of your decision or that you made a choice. I think that all of the people of authority (Your Dad, the principal, the councilor and the truant officers) represent the path you need to take. It is the path to the future you chose not to follow. You KNOW that the path you are on is leading to somewhere that is not in your own best interest. Your building represents the familiar. It represents the life you are now experiencing. Your brother is there. He is on a see-saw. A see-saw goes nowhere but up and down. It remains in place and goes nowhere. It is stuck where it is... just as you are. You attempt to run away from everyone, to get away. You are very afraid. But what you are really afraid of is the path to the future you know you should be taking. To follow that path is to take a new path, away from the familiar life you've been living. The new path represents change. Change can be terrifying! The thought of insanity was one that speaks of your uncertainty and indecision. You fear the change that you know you must make. Yet, you also fear that you have waited too long and made too many decisions that were not in your own best interest. You hope that it isn't too late, but the thought of actually following a new path into the unknown and unfamiliar future fills you with panic. You want to withdraw into your warm and familiar present. Even though you are not happy here, you fear an unknown future even more. So, you tear yourself apart, paralyzed with fear and indecision.

Ok. That's it.

That'll be $20.00 please. Shall I bill you or would you like to pay cash now? I'm sorry, but I don't take checks or credit cards.

Hey! Be NICE! I didn't guarantee that I would be able to tell you what your dream was REALLY about did I?

Oh, alright. This one will be on me. There will be no charge to you... THIS time...

[LittleForgetMeNot]

haha! wow, that really hit home (i know it did because i got those strange pulls on the heart and the little picklings inside when you start feeling as though you wanna cry). That was really good and I think that's exactly what it means!!!

By the weay don't worry that hat, though as unique as it is, makes you seem very professional [:

Hmmmm... Maybe I should reconsider the 20 bucks!
