I had this dream last night.
You were in it.
We were in a very strange place.
Almost like a zoo, but more than that.
They had these lifesize environments, right?
And all these different themes for different parts of the world.
There were no cages.
Just habitats and sections that divided them.
I was with you and your friends.
I didn't know what I was doing there.
The exibits are huge, and dangerous.
You could easily get lost in them.
During the trip, you kept talking and laughing with your friends.
I'm trying desperately to fit in somewhere, and be a part of it, but I'm met with annoyance.
So, I shut up and kinda do my own thing as to not bother you.
I turn my back for just a second, and you're gone.
All of you.
I'm lost.
I don't know where I've been, or where to go.
I wander for hours through the habitats, calling your name.
I finally catch up to you at this foodcourt in one of the dividing sections, right?
You're pissed off. You tell me you ditched me on purpose. You tell me to leave you alone for awhile.
So, I do.
I disappear again.
Just wandering, thinking of you and what I could have done to upset you.
Anyway, so like, I make my way to the exit.
To wait for you guys.
Because I don't want to miss the boat.
And when I get there, the boat's sailing off.
And I see you.
Our eyes connect for a second.
And you look away...
Then I woke up.

Was this an actual dream? Somehow I find it very interesting.

Yes, it was. I was actually kinda nervous about posting it for just that reason.

Fuck you and your witty signature. What, you think you're better than me?

Really. I was just curious because I enjoy finding the meanings in dream, like certain images you see can symbolize parts of your self-conscious or some kind of shit like that. Now I'm just rambling.

Nah, not rambling. Maybe you can help me figure it out, then?

Perhaps. I'm not sure if it will make sense though, since it wasn't my own dream. I can totally be wrong on this. The zoo could represent a loss of freedom, but since there were no cages, it could mean confusion as if you need to fix something in your life. The fact that all the exhibits were dangerous shows a need to be more cautious. Your need to fit in with the crowd can simply be a want for acceptance, but since you got lost it may suggest your worries and insecurities about it. Perhaps you're trying to adjust to a new situation in your waking life. When you met your friend at a court, it may put more emphasis on your distress and worry, often feeling judged and wanting to defend yourself. But since your friend was angry at you, this could signify guilt brought onto the situation. A boat could represent one's ability to cope with their emotions. Was it smooth sailing or violent? But to be more specific, a sailboat could represent your emotional persona and how you learn to adapt to a new situation. Perhaps because the boats sailing off its like you're being disconnected from your feelings or something like that (am I making sense?). By watching them pass by could signify how you're looking at the situation more closely. Since they are passing by, it could suggest that you feel emotionally detached or an outcast of the group. But since you looked at your friend as they went it could show your need to make contact with them or develop a relationship. Sometimes though all of this is up to your own interpretation. I'm not sure if this made any sense, and I had to look up all this stuff so this isn't from the top of my head, but maybe it did help with understanding.

Holy shit, I just looked at that comment and it's really really long. Now I'm rambling.
