I keep having vivid dreams.

Last night I was at a friend's wedding, but instead of a reception they went on a pub crawl. For some reason when we got to the hotel I got really confused and when I got to my room everyone was already sat in my room and then when I went to the toilet and came back out they had already left.
So I texted my friends to find where they'd gone but it was an old phone, I couldn't remember where my real phone was. I bumped into an old friend on the way (well, FWB friend) and he told me to text me where I was later. I then got to the pub my friends were in, it was a mix of old friends who don't actually know each other but they were all together.
I went to the bar to get a drink and it was empty but all the barmen just looked through me, but then finally I ordered a pint of Guinness. Suddenly this man was next to me and he looked mid 20's and started flirting with me and I was really confused because noone ever flirts with me and so I felt like I was waiting for the 'joke' to fall like his friends to come over and laugh or my friends to come up and give him money for flirting with me like they bet him he wouldn't be able to stomach it. We were talking for ages & I still had no drink so I asked the barman where my drink was & he was like 'you didn't order one' but I did, so I ordered again and the man went to get a coke and I could see an ID card and it had his DOB as 2006 and I knew that that made him really young but couldn't work out how young.
The barman finally put a drink infront of me but it was a pitcher of lager & I was like 'I didn't order this' and he said 'I know but we ran out of Guinness so we're only charging you the price of a pint for this pitcher' so then I paid and realised I had hardly any money & no bank card so I thought I'd best get more money because we'd only just started drinking and I decided to phone my parents to ask them if they could bring me some money (which made sense at the time for some reason), but I couldn't work out how to use the phone.
All my friends were really nasty to me and kept treating me like I was a complete idiot and ruining everything so I decided to leave because they were talking about all of the nightclubs they were heading for and none of them offered to lend me money when I explained I'd forgotten my bank card, but when I walked outside it was about 8am. I knew I didn't have enough money for a taxi but I didn't know where I was so I just started walking and hoped I'd see my hotel. I walked for what felt like hours, then suddenly, just as I saw my hotel in the distance, a child appeared driving a massive pink tractor and told me she was my cousin and had been sent to take me to my hotel. But then she reversed the tractor into a lorry behind her. She only looked about 9 or 10 and I didn't understand why she was driving it but I knew I didn't know how to drive it myself so I couldn't help.
I'm not sure what happened then but I was back to walking and arrived at my hotel but I couldn't remember my room number and couldn't find my key (this is a recurring theme in my dreams).
I tried using the old mobile again but all I could get was people's bedside alarm clocks saying what time it was.

I've had a few night out/nightclub dreams the last couple of weeks which is strange since I've not been on a night out in years.

But yes, anyone any insight?

I quite often have dreams with elements of forgetting stuff, stuff that I normally know or can normally easily do. Does this cause you panic or anxiety in the dream? Or does it all just seem routine? Also, what do you get out of it? Does it personally remind you of anything? Part of it could be that you need a night out (in some form or another, doesn't have to involve drinking). The overarching theme that strikes me from the imagery of the dream is isolation. You seem very isolated from everything and everyone. Does that fit for you?

Night Clubs are not longer important for you, that why you left one behind in your dream. The hotel is no longer home or all the feelings assoicated with night clubs. The clocks are telling you you are in present time now, you no longer carry the past with you.

a wise man told me it is wise to ignore dreams because they are meaningless.
once you get obsessed with dreams, things get funky he said.

Dreams are not meaning less. They are all about our feelings!

I agree,but I also think that they can be affected by meds.

[Thunder Bow]

That is because meds affect how we feel.

Do you feel your life is out of control or frustrated about things in general? This dream seems to lead you from one puzzle to another and that may feel frustrating. Try keeping a dream journal and the meanings may reveal themselves over time.

Thank you everyone.

I try to keep dream journals but I get frustrated because I feel like I can't remember something really important and that distracts me and I get frustrated and start forgetting more things :/ I just want technology to enable us to download our dreams so I can document them properly

It's hard with dreams, since no one else can really help us as they are our dreams. Yours sounds really detailed and intense, I love when I remember dreams like that I have. Thank you for sharing it.

I would look first at the night out/nightclub dream element? You say you have been having a few with that theme the last few weeks? Did you ever have them before? What has been different about your last few weeks? Have you changed or thought about changing anything big like job, where you live, who you live with, broken up or gotten a new SO? started/dropped out of school/training, etc.? If you are in therapy, what have you been working on ("nightclub" in a dream generally is thought to be about social issues and belonging, which you already seem to understand by your descriptions, have you been working on and thinking about this more than usual?)?

If your dream were mine, I'd realize the dream, by its bizarreness, is probably not about "current" issues but ones I might be dealing with in therapy. There is not much present about it, just vague, old, friends and situations that are not related to what I am doing right now. I would think about the times when I did do nightclubs and the friends I had then, what I was feeling at those times and what I regret or would do differently, or what I enjoyed and wish I had now, etc. With the young bartender and kid on a tractor I'd think about how I felt in relation to others (for me, it would be like I did not "belong" was not as mature and sure of myself and my constant wondering how everyone else managed to feel so sure of themselves and like they knew what they were doing) and then I would try to bring that forward to now, am I working on those issues now? Is some situation making me feel like I'm lost and confused without money or help?
