Dream Interpretation / strange soy sauce dispenser dream
« on: September 22, 2017, 03:24:04 AM »
I dreamed I was in an ordinary classroom like in a public high school with the desks lined up and the teacher's desk front and center. However the students and myself were not kids. The students seemed to be people in my neighborhood all middle aged and older people. We all had our heads on our desks napping (including the teacher) because we were all tired with age.
I can't recall why I woke up, but I woke up, saw everyone sleeping and knew a deadly tornado was coming. I knew we needed to get to a safe place. I spoke to wake up the teacher and he woke up with ease. He had a round figure, dark hair, glasses, slightly short, and balding in the back of his head. He seemed to be a little younger than most of the students. I told him a tornado was coming and we needed to get to safety. I could tell he was thinking, "why would you think that? There have been no alarms. And the weather is just a little overcast outside but no wind or storm to indicate a tornado is coming."
I said the alarms will go off soon and looked up. On the ceiling was a cylinder shaped light about 2 feet long. It was a tornado watch/warning indicator. The light was all red which meant WARNING. Then the alarm went off, everyone woke up and the teacher said we had to get to safety.
In my mind, I was coming up with a safety plan. I knew of a good place to go, but when we all got in the hall, the principal told us to go to the auditorium. I knew this was not safe and so did the teacher, but the teacher didn't have the backbone to object to his boss so he told us to get our stuff and go there. The students just obeyed, trusting the authorities. They didn't give it a second thought. The auditorium was on the edge of the building, not a central area. It was large, open, had theater style seats, and lots of windows. I knew the tornado was going to be big and we were going to get a direct hit. We needed a safer place without windows, but no one listened. Everyone was just getting their stuff and going but with no panic or rush. They were smiling and talking casually as they went.
The stuff people got though was weird. We all went to a small house sized kitchen in the school (not a school cafeteria sized kitchen). Some people got spatulas, others spoons, and I was going to get an empty soy sauce container. There were 2. One large, wooden one that looked like a pepper mill, and the other was a smaller glass one with a plastic lid that I have in real life in my house but I don't use because of its bad design. I didn't want this one because of its bad design. My neighbor was also going to get a soy sauce dispenser. I had the large one but she said she needed to use it to share with others so I let her take it. I knew time was of the essence. The tornado could hit at any moment. I needed to get to safety, but I didn't want the glass dispenser. I had to decide if I should just take it for the sake of safety and go directly to the safe place or go get the other one and risk being hit by the tornado. I decided my neighbor must be through with it by now so I would go to the auditorium and get it. She was indeed through using it (I don't know what we were using an empty soy sauce dispenser for. It is weird). Now I had to decide whether to stay in the auditorium where it wasn't safe but everyone was there or take a risk of running to the safe place and being by myself. I didn't even know if I had enough time to make it there before the tornado hit. I decided to run for it with the soy sauce dispenser in hand.
* 2 notes.
1) My life has been rather mundane lately without any chaos or overwhelm. Although I have been thinking about my children's futures as to what is best for them. I don't know if that would represent the tornado or not. However, it is possible this could be a predictive dream because this morning after the dream I found out my husband is looking for another job! He is over 60 so why would he do that! Why not just retire where he is. This suddenly gave me feelings of chaos, overwhelm, and lack of control which a tornado dream may indicate.
2) the soy sauce dispenser makes no sense to me at all. And there is no dream dictionary that features a soy sauce dispenser but it played a major part in my dream so I think it has some meaning.
Thank you for any insight.
