I'm steering a gondola outdoors,it's sunny, and then down corridors of an old rich pretty public building, it does look Italian. Then I'm with someone looking across water at a western island I know, it's pitch dark. A city suddenly appears on the previously empty island, it looks pretty though I am not a fan of cities, it's beautiful all lit up at night.
I am being driven around by a man, I do not know him. He drops me back to my mother, I pat him on the back in a loving kind way. (When I wake I don't have a nice feeling about him- but in the dream I don't sense this). My mother and young brother wait somewhat impatiently for me to go to the beach in their car, I go to the bathroom, I'm a young girl, my hair is split in the middle like I had it then, I'm running my fingers over a small scar/dent in my forehead (which I do not remember nor have I now) I'm looking at my image and I'm thinking I like my hair but the face is not nice at all, it's old and something weird about it, it's like a stranger, definitely not a girls face. I feel sad about this. I'm about 8 or 9 years old.
An older dark haired girl is coming on stage for a performance, Im viewing from somewhere overhead, a really abrasive and loud male figure shouts she's not wanted any more 'not even for the backing vocals?' The girl asks very meekly, 'no you are cut' he shouts. His anger is totally out of proportion and she is this gentle, mild character, quite young maybe late teens. He seems to be cutting her from the show not because of lack of ability but because her meekness annoys him, he likes assertive winner types. He's a nasty powerful figure and is in fact actually motivated by very self-pitying feelings, though he wouldn't generally be seen as as that, while she, despite her meekness and being bullied is not at all self pitying. But she is indeed hesitant and not assertive, accepting his treatment and attitude.
The mirror part of this dream intrigues me most, it just felt odd. I wonder what you make of it Tony?
Thankyou
