college dream with other stuff

 This dream has a college that's in a downtown setting and there's a city square nearby. So for part of the dream I'm in the college and my professor is a woman but it's the kind of thing where the professor teaches all day not just one course or you know there's not a bunch of different professors. Near the end of the dream I'm not showing up at all and so I need to let her know that I'm not going to be back to class until Monday. Part of this involves trying to find her phone number so I go and get a City phone book which is one of those big yellow decks phone books or AT&t phone books like we used to have and start trying to look up her name but I realize I don't know her name so I need to and even in the dream I don't know her name, so I need to look up the name of the college while I can't remember the name of the college so I'm going to look on a map okay so there's a little bit of sort of technology disjoint thing going on here because I'm going to look in the yellow pages and a map to zoom in and find the name of the college on Google maps. That never happens. So I never tell her that I'm going to be late all that stuff never happens it's just all of the build up about trying to figure it out happens.

I run into an old relative that I knew years ago named Sam which is interesting and I run into a famous actress I'm trying to think of her name and she looks like a Greek statue so she's completely alive and talking and it seems completely normal but she just looks perfectly white like marble and her eyes everything just looks like that but she's alive and you know like in the movies right she's alive but she's a 3D statue.

The city square is one of those that has several different little restaurants around and at some of them are basically just tables outside and kind of a temporary setup arrangement where they bring in some temporary cooking stuff and then others actually have a building but for the most part people sit outside at them too it seems like the weather is always nice there. So I'm sitting at this one with a little square wooden table and I'm talking with this lady she's sitting in the street at a bus stop. And at one point I asked her do you need to get up out of the street and she says no I'm fine and a bus comes. The bus pulls up into the square and it seems completely natural and nobody acts strange about it he pulls up into the square where people typically are walking around on pavement but you know not car payment but walking pavers. And the doors open up and another lady gets out and says thanks you know for the ride and he says have a great day or something and the doors closing that's the end of that part of the dream. So then I end up taking this table for some reason with me and later I need to bring it back well I can't find this particular location and instead I accidentally take it to one of the more permanent restaurant locations in the square. And they don't really seem certain like if it belongs there or not so there are no other tables like this there though but I go around the corner and just set it and it really doesn't even look like the same setting exactly but you know so I'm trying to get rid of it so I just set it down and jump over a little brick wall and run off well that's when this woman that looks like the statue starts running throughout she can't find me she doesn't see me but she's running throughout the square calling out my name and she's kind of frantic. So I go to her and say hey what what's going on and she goes you got to get back there and get rid of that table or they're going to get kicked out of their location in 5 minutes You've Got 5 minutes so we go running back across the mall the square and I get the table and carry it away that's kind of the end of the dream. There's other parts to it at one point I'm at the top of some stairs somewhere oh and this business so I'm in the street and there's I don't know like 50 people get off of a bus and they're coming across like a crosswalk and then they need to walk past like right where I'm standing so I get around the corner of like a bus waiting cover shed and I'm out of their way but they're like walking right next to me it doesn't really look like they need to do that but they do all of them walk right close past me and then they go on and then that's when the Sam guy shows up on a bicycle and I say hey Sam and he looks over at me like he recognizes me but he doesn't say anything he just sort of sits there like what are you doing here. Then he's got a real dark tan. Then it's night time and I'm at these people's house but it's very much like it's a giant mansion or something it kind of feels like it's all part of this city square or something and there's lights on and it's all very lit up and nice.

Interpretation of the dream: this dream feels like it has some sort of profound importance. It wasn't one of those super real dreams, but it was leaning in that direction. And it feels like maybe spiritual forces or God or somebody feels like there's things I've left incomplete or unfinished. But in the dream it doesn't really appear like I'm making some incredible effort to fix all that stuff, which is probably all relevant. Because in real life I have no intentions of fixing anything. This dream is certainly not going to motivate me to change any of that. And I'm vaguely remembering like thinking why don't I just walk over to the college which is like two blocks away, but never do. So that the people that I need to see are not that far away in real life, but actually I don't know why I need to see them, so I'm not going to. And I don't hide from the statue lady, so it's not like I'm like hiding on purpose or something I'm just sort of like not dealing with stuff unless it becomes you know a big deal. This all seems to be like pretty much what I'm actually doing so I don't know I don't know what that's I'm just sort of interpreting and like what's actually happening in my life to some degree.

Also there are some scenarios that I keep imagining or rehearsing in real life that may or may not ever happen. So this isn't a dream where there's any repeating stuff going on but it does seem to try to address some of that maybe. Like college stuff that I may never go back and do anything. Probably not why would I go back to college? There's some other interesting stuff about some of my previous educational experiences but it doesn't really seem that relevant to what was going on in the dream it just all seems to come to mind.
