Nice Surprise
I felt calm and happy most of the day. It was nice to feel so at ease; no resistance was coming from me. I was just accepting of the gifts of life. Interestingly enough, I got a phone call for an interview. I have not even been thinking about looking for work. I left that concern behind me and have been focusing on other areas of my life. So, it was a nice surprise to get this phone call and interview.
I once again slept without Benadryl and once again got a good night's sleep. I also chose to not drink my morning coffee and didn't get any side effects. This morning I am drinking a nice, decaffeinated herbal tea and still there is no headache.
I didn't astral last but I had some great dreams. Steven gave me some good advice last night. My mind was in overdrive about my coming interview (it is next Wednesday). He told me to "clear my mind". I figured it would be easier said than done, but somehow I was able to control my thoughts. I set my intentions before bed as I have been trying to do as often as I can. This time I asked to discuss my future career.
School
I had a very vivid dream about being a teacher at a school. I was in an unfamiliar high school but had a class of middle school students. I recall that I was feeling out of my element but was doing okay. At one point the kids were smaller than middle school, more like elementary aged. We were going to go outside but I couldn't find my shorts. When I finally did find them, they were a skirt and I was trying to figure out where my shorts went. Eventually I just accepted the skirt.
I took the class outside. A woman was with me. She had dark hair and was about my height. She looked very much like the female guide I saw recently in a vision. I let the guide take the kids outside and stayed inside. I ran into another woman who was an instructional specialist for the school. She gave me advice about how to go about getting a job, saying that it was hard to get in but once in, you could stay as long as you liked. She also warned me of campus politics and told me how frustrated she was about how over qualified she was for her position.
Library
I then was back in the classroom with middle school students. I recall teaching the class and they were behaving very well. At some point I went wandering around the school and located the library. I recalled that I had an interview scheduled and was trying to locate the room where it would take place. I went into this library and there was a row of rooms on my left. Each door was closed and I looked at the doors, knowing they were not the right door. Finally, I came upon this door that was covered in graffiti. I peered inside and could see a couple of students studying. The door had a sign on it that said it was where students researched their graduation requirements.
A black man approached me and said something about how odd it was that they were hiring a new counselor. I told him, "I am interviewing for that position!" He laughed and asked my name and we chatted for a while. I can still see him vividly. He was tall, thin and with very distinctive features - large eyes, prominent nose and a big smile. I recall that he sent me emails and text messages for a while after that. He was sharing his personal life with me, specifically his troubles with his wife. I stopped communication with him because he seemed to be flirting with me and I was not interested.
School
I was back in my classroom teaching math and going over papers with the students. The kids were acting very troublesome but I was keeping them focused. I remember talking about the number 5 more than once. Then over the intercom there was music playing and an announcement. I noticed the kids getting antsy. Two boys went to the bathroom. I got upset because only one was allowed in the bathroom at a time. I recall looking in the bathroom and seeing a big sauna/hot tub in the entry. When I went to investigate two girls came out instead. The announcements continued so I stopped the class and went over some rules with them. One was about the amount of string they could have with them (odd). I had string in my hands of various vivid colors. I recall deciding that I could be less strict with this group. The students then seemed to grow older, into high school aged.
At this point the dream got odd. One female student was laying in a hot tub out in the classroom. I was talking to the class and glanced over at her. She had in her arms a tiny baby. I remember thinking, "She just had that baby!" I remained calm and called the girls friend over. I gave her a hug and patted her golden brown hair like she was my own child. I told her she was a good friend for helping. I then called to my teacher aid to call the hospital. I then gave the same girl another long hug. I remember patting her on the head and cradling her head in my arms.
At this point I became lucid and heard John say to me, "Why are you crying?" I realized I was crying and it woke me up. I told him, "Because she had a baby". I was crying happy tears.
I stayed awake after that. The dream brought me to the thought of how my husband wants us to have another baby. I had such a wonderful experience with my son that it made me want another baby for a while. I have not been wanting another one since then, though, and resisting my husband's attempts to try to persuade me. The dream caused me to remember the wonderful joy, love and happiness my children bring me.
Interpretation
I am not going to go into depth on the interpretation of this dream. I feel like what I asked to happen before I fell asleep is what happened: I spoke with my guides about my future career. From the way the dream played out, I feel that I have let go of some of the beliefs and "rules" I held onto. I also seemed to be more accepting of change and handled issues within the school in my dream without anxiety and had a go-with-the-flow attitude. I also recall feeling proud of my ability to teach math and seeing the number 5. The angel number 5 represents opportunity and coming success. I also recognized my strictness and rule following was not helping me, so I chose to relax and not be so strict and uptight.
The library scene was interesting. Libraries symbolize a search for knowledge. The doors are opportunities that I have missed. Since I was considering the one door, it could be an opportunity that I have yet to allow into my life. Since I was willing to look into the room, it shows willingness to consider the opportunity.
The final part of the dream where the baby is born had the most impact on me. Birth in a dream symbolizes a new attitude, fresh beginnings or a major life event. The fact that I was crying tears of joy suggests happiness will come of this. It is a positive sign.
One Last Thing
On my drive this morning from my workout I was thinking about how I will graduate soon. I thought to myself, "There will be celebrating soon". With that thought a huge amount of emotion hit me and I had to fight back happy tears. The feelings were similar to how I felt in my dream.
