Freedom

 This follows on from the last dream.  In this one, I am in a college building similar to my old workplace, but it's time for lunch, so I set about finding something to eat.  The campus has several canteens; the one I want is the farthest away, but it has the best food, so I set off for it.

This in itself is a recurring scenario I've had in many dreams in the past.  Sometimes, I don't make it to the canteen in time and all the food has run out, other times, I do.  In this dream, I walked casually to the canteen, which involved walking down several long corridors as with the last dream.  In the back of my mind, I thought it would turn into another dream where I become lost and trapped in ever changing hallways, but this didn't happen.  What's more, in this dream, the same hallways were filled with people decorating them and fixing things up, which was new.  I carried on walking and descended a small flight of steps to a mezzanine floor.  To the left of me was the canteen, but straight ahead was the way out of the building, and I could see the sun shining from the outside.  I decided to forego the canteen and step outside, which I was able to do without any restrictions whatsoever. It was sunny and bright outside.

These dreams seems to be alluding to the fact that something has changed for the better, and I like that.

Escaping the labyrinth

This dream occurred the morning of the previous day (17/11/24), but I've only got round to posting it now.

I've been having recurring dreams for the last year or so where I'm in a large building, be it an office, school or college and at some point, I need to go to a specific room or area, but find myself getting lost.  Sometimes, I'll find myself seemingly going around in circles trying to find the room or I'll turn corners and open doors to find that the corridors keep changing. I usually wake from those dreams feeling frustrated and left with the lingering impression that something was left unresolved. But not this time.

In this particular dream, I was in a college building (essentially a much larger version of my old workplace) and at some point, I needed to find a particular room.  I ended up going walking through doors that looped back to where I started and found myself lost again.  At one point, I decided to climb out of a window which dropped me down to the ground floor (I was able to float down without hurting myself).  When I got there, I looked one way up the corridor and saw a group of lads. I thought about going that way to get to my destination but felt compelled to look the other way first, which is when I saw the exit to the building.  I then decided I'd be better of getting out instead, so that's what I tried to do.

I say tried, because as I walked to the exit, I felt a force trying to repel me, but I fought against it and eventually pushed through the doors leading into the building and got outside. I looked around and continued running, then eventually floating, thinking to myself "I did it! I finally escaped!".

I don't know what this all alludes to yet, but it feels significant.
