Three Coders Approach

I am in a restaurant with three young women at the other end of my table. I overhear their conversation about a technical issue that is in the news and I'm interested in. It also goes back to my early career as a coder using COBOL. I asked them if they are coders and that I have an question for them. They look at me smile say yes and then instead of answering the question they start crawling over the table towards me. They have obvious intentions of sexually engaging me. The one on my left her blouse is open in a very tubular extremely tubular puffy nipple appears. She gets very close to me and I press my mouth against her breast and wake up suddenly.


Notes: the dream was exceptionally Vivid and realistic. It was also very sensual. I woke obviously sexually aroused but more importantly amazed at the clarity and vividness of the dream and hopeful for the future. But I tried to go back into the dream I could not remember the coding issue. Eventually I did. Was more Trump administration bullshit about numbers of people that were in the excess of 100 years old and the social security system. Goes back to an old cobal coating problem the fact that they started counting days in 1859 or some such thing.

ChatGPT:

This dream seems rich with layers of meaning, blending intellectual curiosity, nostalgia, connection, and possibly desires for validation or intimacy. Here are some possible interpretations:

1. Intellectual and Emotional Integration

The young women discussing a technical issue you’re interested in—especially one related to COBOL and your early coding career—may symbolize aspects of your past knowledge, skills, and curiosity that you’re reconnecting with. The fact that they are coders suggests you might be longing to re-engage with a part of yourself that valued logic, problem-solving, and technical mastery.

  • Interpretation: Their sudden shift from discussing technical matters to intimate engagement might represent a desire for integration between your intellectual pursuits and emotional or sensual life. You could be seeking experiences that feel stimulating both mentally and physically—things that light up multiple parts of your identity.

2. Desire for Recognition and Connection

You asking them a question and them smiling could symbolize a need for validation or recognition—especially from those who represent newer generations, different perspectives, or fields you’ve moved away from.

  • Interpretation: Their crossing the table might represent a subconscious yearning for a deeper connection, not just intellectually but personally—perhaps wanting your contributions, experiences, or questions to be acknowledged and valued.

3. Sexual Energy as Creative Drive

Sexual imagery in dreams often represents creative energy, desire for connection, or personal growth rather than literal sexual desires. The act of them crawling over the table and the intimate moment before waking could suggest:

  • Interpretation: A strong creative urge or a drive toward something new and exciting in your life. The sudden waking could mean you’re on the edge of unlocking this energy, but something in your waking life might be holding you back or you’re not yet ready to fully embrace it.

4. The Symbolism of the Breast and Sudden Awakening

In dreams, breasts can symbolize nurturing, life-giving energy, and comfort. Pressing your mouth to the woman’s breast could represent a longing for emotional nourishment, acceptance, or even inspiration.

  • Interpretation: Waking up suddenly at that moment might mean you are on the brink of receiving something deeply nourishing in your life—whether knowledge, connection, or purpose—but there’s hesitation, fear, or uncertainty about fully accepting it.

5. Reflection on Aging, Relevance, and the New Generation

Given the age difference suggested by the “young women” and the reference to COBOL (a coding language associated with an earlier era of programming), there could be a subconscious exploration of how you see yourself in relation to younger generations.

  • Interpretation: You might be questioning your relevance, wondering how your past knowledge fits into today’s world, or craving meaningful dialogue that bridges your experiences with newer perspectives.

Questions for Deeper Reflection:

  • What current areas of your life feel like they’re on the “other side of the table”?
  • Do you feel like you’re seeking validation for past achievements or knowledge?
  • Are there desires—intellectual, emotional, or sensual—that you haven’t fully explored?
  • Was the sudden waking a sign of discomfort with the intimacy of the moment, or fear of stepping into a new role or identity?

This dream seems like it’s nudging you to bridge a gap—whether between past and present, thought and feeling, or isolation and connection. Does any of this resonate with how you’ve been feeling lately?

Another Restaurant

I am driving in a vehicle with a woman that I'm just getting to know. The woman is mature so I believe I am as well, possibly even my current age. There may be a hole in the floorboard. We get to a restaurant that is our destination. When we are in the restaurant. I have divided my attention between two groups. One is the woman and we are getting to know each other but I am also going to another table. The other table is Steve and some friends of his. The friends are three or four men that are very old, older than I am now. It's very friendly and we have a very good meal. At one point I shake the hand of one of the gentlemen and I'm struggling to get a good grip with the handshake. I realize that instead of facing each other palm to palm our two arms are going in the same direction that's why it feels like he's got a giant hand. We correct the orientation and have a solid handshake. 

I am now back with the woman and while she understands that I have some split attention she's does not feel abandoned she may be with some friends herself. We now go to a different part of the restaurant and watch a movie or an old TV show. I encourage her and she removes her clothes so that she's only wearing some very sexy undergarments. She then proceeds to sit in my lap in a big over stuffed chair while we are watching the show. The show is filmed in a vintage mode or is just very old.  It's a crazy comedy sort of Western. At one point a group of people are traveling in some kind of vehicle and they metamorphosis into something that flies and they flie away. None of this is serious or really sci-fi it's just kind of crazy and fun. 

We talk about selling her vehicle which I have agreed to help her with. I identify it as an old authentic Vespa from Europe. I am now possibly in the same vehicle possibly with her waiting to pull out of the parking lot into traffic. The traffic is very busy. There is a large truck that gets very close to us and we need to back up. It turns fairly abruptly into a facility of some sort across the street. 

Notes: I go in and out of the dream several times and remember it easily.

ChatGPT:

This dream seems rich with symbolism and layered meanings related to relationships, personal growth, and navigating life’s transitions. Here are some interpretations based on the key elements:


1. The Vehicle with the Woman

  • Driving together suggests you are embarking on a shared journey, possibly representing a new relationship, partnership, or aspect of yourself you’re exploring.
  • The hole in the floorboard may indicate vulnerabilities or issues you are aware of but are currently choosing to move forward despite them. It could also represent feeling exposed or ungrounded in certain areas of life.

2. The Restaurant and Divided Attention

  • A restaurant often symbolizes nourishment—not just physically but emotionally and socially. It’s a place to receive and share experiences.
  • Divided attention between the woman and Steve’s group may reflect how you are balancing new opportunities or relationships with existing responsibilities or connections. The woman’s understanding suggests you are managing this balance without feelings of guilt or loss.
  • Steve and the older men could represent wisdom, mentorship, or parts of your past that still hold value. The handshake mishap might symbolize an initial struggle to connect with these older, wiser parts of yourself or others, but the eventual solid handshake suggests successful integration or understanding.

3. Watching the Show and Playful Intimacy

  • Watching an old TV show or vintage comedy suggests nostalgia or a desire to reflect on past experiences in a lighter, more humorous way. The crazy comedy Western could represent the unpredictable, adventurous side of your life journey.
  • The woman sitting in your lap in sexy undergarments suggests vulnerability, trust, and growing intimacy—possibly with a new person or a part of yourself you’re coming to embrace. This scene indicates comfort, playfulness, and shared enjoyment.

4. The Vespa and Selling It

  • The old European Vespa can symbolize freedom, simplicity, and a romanticized way of moving through life. Helping her sell it may mean letting go of old modes of living or thinking to make way for something new. It could also signify aiding someone else in moving on from their past.
  • The busy traffic and large truck imply external pressures, obstacles, or fast-moving changes in life. Backing up and yielding to the truck might suggest a need for patience and strategic withdrawal before moving forward safely.

5. Metamorphosis and Flight

  • The group transforming into something that flies and leaving might symbolize freedom, transformation, and ascension. This whimsical, fantastical element hints at your creative spirit and desire for transcendence, play, and liberation from life’s rigid structures.

Overall Interpretation:

This dream seems to reflect a period of transition where you are balancing the old and the new. You are navigating new connections, represented by the woman, while still engaging with wisdom from your past (the older men). The challenges in the dream—like the handshake issue, busy traffic, and selling the Vespa—point to your awareness of adjustments needed for smooth progress.

The playful intimacy and comedic tone suggest you’re approaching these changes with a sense of humor and openness, which is a positive sign. The flying metamorphosis might be the dream’s way of reminding you that transformation doesn’t have to be heavy or serious—it can be fun, spontaneous, and freeing.

World's Largest Restaurant

I am in a cab or some kind of vehicle with another person sitting next to me. We're having a nice conversation I've offered him a piece of gum we are going out to dinner together. We are driving through a city that's it's at night it's complex we have an idea where we're going but not a clear one. My comment that it looks like we're in a neighborhood that's similar to the one that I believe the restaurants in and that maybe we should start looking more closely. He says he's got another idea where we're going and I agree and we head to that place. 

When we get there the driver offers some help because I am in a disheveled place. My clothes are a mess I may have been in an accident but I'm very dirty. I'm also traveling and have a bunch of clothes but they're not in a suitcase. He seems to be very accommodating we lay down on the ground reach under the car and he pulls out a large plastic bag that will very conveniently hold all my clothes. 

I am now in the restaurant with a group of people and we are trying to figure out where we are going to sit. The room that we're in is very large there's many many people not only sitting but walking through the room and are going into other areas. So we start walking for one room to another trying to figure out where exactly we're going to eat in this establishment. They are not just different rooms it's they're like entirely different buildings but it all seems to be part of the same organization and in fact we're just walking down very long hallways but every time we go through an entrance the environment changes radically. In one instance it's not a room it feels like we are in a plaza and there are huge possibly ancient buildings. I've noticed that my shirt is incredibly dirty and I have these little burs that you get from being in the woods. I'm picking these burrs off as I'm we're walking seemingly endlessly through these rooms and I'm just dropping them on the floor. I'm feeling a little guilty but I don't know what else to do. One of the rooms that we get to is like a exhibit or a display of the outdoors. And it includes a million of these burs and so I take more burs off and put them basically in the exhibit where they look like they belong. There is a man  down on the floor dealing with the same issue. I don't know his situation but it eems to be much more intense than mine.  

At this point we are being led by an actor that I recognize but don't remember his name. He's very friendly and tells us the advantages of one place over another as we keep walking and walking and walking. We finally get to a place that he says we can eat and I realize that I can take some of the clothes in my plastic bag go to the restroom and actually get fairly cleaned up and comfortable and that's what I do. 

And when I awake I'm happy because of the intense detail and vividness of the dream. But kind of clueless about what the whole thing may mean.

ChatGPT:

This is a fascinating and rich dream with multiple layers of symbolism. Let’s break it down and see what it might be communicating:

Key Themes and Interpretations:

  1. Journey and Exploration (The Vehicle and City at Night)

    • The vehicle suggests you're on a journey, likely related to personal growth or self-discovery. The fact that you’re not driving could imply that you’re allowing a part of yourself (or another person in your life) to guide this process.
    • The city at night represents complexity, uncertainty, or exploring the unknown. You have some idea where you’re going but not a clear one—this might reflect your current life situation where you have general goals (like your interest in travel, spiritual exploration, and meaningful work) but aren’t entirely sure of the path yet.
  2. Disheveled Clothes and Burrs (State of Self)

    • Dirty clothes and burrs often represent feelings of being unprepared, vulnerable, or burdened by experiences or emotional “baggage.” The fact that you don’t have a suitcase, just a plastic bag, could symbolize a feeling that your life’s "contents" (experiences, responsibilities) are disorganized or temporarily packed.
    • The driver’s kindness in helping you get the bag is significant. It might represent external support (like your wife, your role in her dog training business, or supportive friends) or an internal aspect of yourself that’s resourceful even when things seem messy.
  3. The Endless Restaurant Search (Seeking Belonging and Purpose)

    • A restaurant symbolizes nourishment—not just physical but also emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. The search for the right place to eat could represent your quest for the right environment or community that feels fulfilling.
    • The different rooms, hallways, and radically changing environments may reflect how you’re exploring various aspects of life: travel, spirituality, dog training, and your evolving identity. It might also represent your desire for deeper meaning in life’s experiences, as each space seems to hold a different energy or lesson.
  4. The Burrs and the Exhibit (Integrating Past Experiences)

    • Picking burrs off yourself as you walk suggests that you’re trying to shed unnecessary attachments or past experiences that no longer serve you.
    • Placing them in the exhibit where they “belong” shows an important psychological process: integrating rather than rejecting these past burdens. You recognize that these burrs (perhaps symbolic of challenges or difficult memories) are part of a larger story and have a place in your personal narrative.
  5. The Friendly Actor (A Guide or Mentor)

    • The actor might symbolize a persona—an aspect of yourself that knows how to "perform" or navigate social situations. Since you recognize him but can’t remember his name, he could represent inner wisdom that’s familiar but not fully integrated.
    • His guidance toward the final dining area suggests that part of you already knows how to reach a state of comfort and fulfillment—once you allow yourself to clean up (reorganize or heal parts of yourself).
  6. Final Realization (Cleansing and Comfort)

    • The final act of going to the restroom to clean up and feeling comfortable indicates that you’re nearing a point in your waking life where you’ll feel more “put together” and ready to enjoy the fruits of your journey.
    • It suggests self-renewal and readiness to step into a space where you can truly nourish yourself.

Possible Real-Life Connections:

  • Your Travel Aspirations: The journey through confusing cities and vast, changing environments could be linked to your plans for traveling with your dog, especially to spiritually significant places like the Huichol villages. The feeling of being disheveled might represent practical or emotional barriers you still feel you need to overcome before embarking on those adventures.

  • Life Transitions: You’re in a period of exploration—transitioning from roof sales, engaging in dog training, and considering meaningful travels. The dream’s theme of searching for the “right place” and getting cleaned up before dining might reflect your desire to find a sense of purpose or community where you feel like you truly belong.

  • Spiritual Growth and Self-Integration: The journey through different "buildings" and the integration of the burrs into an exhibit suggests deep spiritual and psychological work. You’re perhaps learning to accept the “burrs” of your life—past struggles or unfinished business—as essential parts of your unique story.


Questions for Reflection:

  1. How do you feel about your current direction?

    • Are you trusting yourself (or others) enough to let the journey unfold, even without clear certainty about the destination?
  2. What "burrs" are you currently carrying?

    • Are there past burdens you’re trying to shed, and how can you integrate them instead of discarding them?
  3. What would getting “cleaned up” mean for you right now?

    • Are there practical, emotional, or spiritual steps you could take to feel more “ready” for the next stage of your journey?

This dream seems incredibly positive in its tone despite the confusion. It suggests that while you’re still exploring, you’re close to finding a place (literal or metaphorical) where you’ll feel at ease, clean, and able to fully enjoy life’s richness.

Does this interpretation resonate with how you’ve been feeling lately?

Up or Down? [Spot On]

I am working on what I am supposed to wear. It has to do with a white pair of shorts and I don't feel like I have everything I need for official clothing. [This part of the dream was barely remembered, but I thought may be relevant].

I am now walking along a muddy landscape that I see what looks like an abandoned pack. I have some handheld device that is allowed me to locate this potentially valuable item. I look at it and it looks like a possibly military issued backpack that has many individual compartments. It's wet compressed in the mud and looks like it has been abandoned for some time. Whoever I had already been struggling with what supplies I have available and this looks like a fantastic find. I pick it up and try to figure out where I can go to pull it all apart and pick out the things that will be of highest value to me. I am preparing for some sort of Adventure a campaign or an event.

I am now at the base of a makeshift elevator. It appears to be outdoors and largely made a fabric. I have the Pack with me and the elevator operator asked me if I want to go to the top. I say yes and as we get to the top there is a very small adjustment that needs to be made in order to secure a peg into a hole that will stabilize the lift. I make that adjustment and a momentarily secure. But now the operator asks me if I want to stay there for the evening. It seems like I am very high in the air in a very precarious position. It might even be cold and uncomfortable because basically the whole apparatus is made out of fabric and is suspended high in the air. 

Or contemplating my good fortune I briefly consider whether I have taken all of the supplies from someone else that needs them. I can clean I conclude that they have been abandoned by someone and that there is no way to find their original owner.



I awake happy to have remembered details of the dream but concerned over the decision. On one hand it feels like I have everything I need and yet still the future is very shaky and uncertain.

ChatGPT:

Your dream seems rich in symbolism related to preparation, resourcefulness, and uncertainty in an upcoming endeavor. Here’s how I’d interpret it:

1. Clothing and Readiness (White Shorts)

The initial struggle with clothing suggests a concern about being properly equipped or presenting yourself correctly for something important. White shorts, in particular, could symbolize a feeling of being underprepared or exposed, as they are informal and possibly impractical for the serious situation ahead. You may feel like you are missing an essential component of what is required for a particular role or phase in life.

2. The Muddy Landscape and the Abandoned Pack

The muddy terrain suggests a challenging and unclear path—perhaps you are navigating through uncertainty or difficult conditions. Discovering the abandoned military backpack could represent hidden resources, past experiences, or skills that you are rediscovering. The fact that it is military-style with many compartments suggests it contains specialized and valuable tools for survival or an upcoming mission. The dream implies that you are finding unexpected support or resources that will help you move forward.

Your handheld device guiding you to the pack might represent your instincts, knowledge, or an external source of insight leading you to what you truly need. The struggle with available supplies suggests you’ve been feeling under-equipped or lacking, but this discovery could symbolize a realization that you already have or will find what you need.

3. The Makeshift Fabric Elevator – A Risky Ascent

The elevator made of fabric is an unusual and fragile structure, representing a rapid but precarious ascent in life—possibly a transition or decision that brings you to a higher level but without a firm foundation. The operator asking if you want to go to the top indicates a choice: do you embrace the risk and move upward or stay on the ground?

When you secure the peg, it suggests you have some control over stabilizing your situation, but the fact that the entire structure is made of fabric hints that it is temporary or unreliable. Reaching the top but realizing it might be an uncomfortable or unsafe place could reflect the uncertainty of whether success or advancement will actually bring security. You may be questioning whether you are truly ready for the next stage of something in your life.

4. The Moral Question – Have You Taken What Wasn’t Yours?

Your contemplation about whether you’ve taken resources that someone else might need suggests an ethical dilemma. You ultimately conclude the items were abandoned, which may reflect a real-life situation where you are repurposing, reclaiming, or rediscovering something that was left behind. This could relate to an opportunity, a career move, or personal development—something that once belonged to someone else or was neglected but now serves you. Your subconscious is processing whether it is truly yours to claim.

5. The Emotional Conclusion – Prepared Yet Uncertain

Waking up happy to remember the details but concerned about the decision perfectly reflects the theme of the dream: you have gained something valuable, but the future still feels unstable. You now have the supplies, but is the journey ahead safe and secure? This could mirror an upcoming major decision or transition where you feel better equipped than before, yet unsure if the path is solid enough to trust.

Final Thoughts

  • The dream highlights self-reliance, problem-solving, and making the most of what you find.
  • It suggests you are stepping into new territory, possibly a venture, journey, or personal transformation.
  • You are concerned about legitimacy or worthiness but ultimately trust your ability to make ethical decisions.
  • The future still feels uncertain, but you are gathering the tools needed for the adventure.

This seems deeply connected to the phase of preparation and transition you are in—whether in business, spiritual exploration, or something else. You may be stepping into a new challenge, finding unexpected resources, and wondering if you can trust the journey ahead.

Does this interpretation resonate with you?

House and Business Sitting

I am at a party with a large number of people. At some point we decided to move the party to my house. It's not actually my house it's a house that I am sitting for someone else. The house is very unique and has many odd old and antique items lying around. I'm initially concerned that the party might harm some of these things but people behave well and it just turns out to make everything much more interesting. There's one room in particular that gets my attention but it is empty of furniture in knick knacks. It has a heavy wooden door and inside what I would imagine are purpose built features but I can't imagine the actual purpose it was built for. There's a small room off the large one that may be tiled. There's another room or an Alcove that has an arched interest entry possibly with stone or wood. I remark on the room as an area of particular interest to some of the other guests that I'm speaking with but we don't come to any conclusion. 

Everywhere I look in the home there is some detailed object or creation that I find fascinating. I'm talking to other guests about them particularly now that I am relaxed and not worried about them being destroyed or broken. I'm amazed at the variety and uniqueness of all of these items.

I am now at the business that the same people own that I'm house sitting for. But it is a very different scene and it is total chaos. The business may be an antique store but it's not filled with anything that's identifiable. Everything is dark and covered in dust and just seems to be ill formed lumps of unidentified unidentifiable objects. The store is filled with people but they are not shopping they are robbing the place. But all the people look like the objects in the store. They're covered in Dusty dark gray clothes making them almost unidentifiable. They're picking through the merchandise and taking what they want. There everywhere the aisles are crowded and I panic. I pick up a large post and start beating some of them to keep them from robbing. It becomes quickly apparent that there this is not going to work. I give up and resign myself that the store is going to be totally looted but at the same time they lost.


ChatGPT:

This dream has a strong theme of contrast—between curiosity and chaos, order and disorder, meaningful treasures and meaningless debris. It suggests an exploration of value, identity, and control, possibly tied to your own shifting perspectives or evolving priorities.

First Part – The House and the Party

The house represents a space of deep personal or intellectual interest, but it is not truly yours—you are "house-sitting," meaning you are responsible for something that belongs to someone else. This could symbolize a role you’ve taken on, whether in life or work, where you feel responsible for something valuable but not necessarily personally owned.

The antique objects are likely symbols of wisdom, history, or experiences—things that are intricate, unique, and fascinating. Your initial concern about the partygoers damaging them suggests a protective instinct over something valuable, possibly knowledge, ideas, or an aspect of yourself. However, when people interact respectfully with these items, you find the experience more engaging, which might indicate a realization that sharing and discussing ideas or experiences can enrich them rather than diminish them.

The mysterious empty room with purpose-built but unclear features could symbolize an aspect of yourself, your potential, or an opportunity that is intriguing but not yet fully understood. The small tiled room and arched entry could hint at something sacred, ancient, or private—perhaps a space within your mind or life that you feel drawn to but haven’t yet deciphered.

Second Part – The Business and the Chaos

The shift to the business—owned by the same people—introduces an entirely different environment. Instead of treasured antiques, the store is filled with dark, dusty, amorphous objects. Instead of respectful engagement, the people here are looting. Yet, they themselves resemble the objects, suggesting a blurring between people and things, or between those who take and what is taken.

This might reflect a fear of value being lost or degraded. While the house was full of meaningful, distinct items, the store’s contents have lost definition, becoming indistinct and unappreciated. This could symbolize a concern that something valuable in your life—your work, knowledge, relationships, or even society—could become meaningless or unrecognizable if handled poorly or exposed to the wrong circumstances.

Your attempt to fight back with a large post suggests a desire to impose order or protect what remains, but realizing it is futile implies an understanding that this is beyond your control. The final sense of resignation—but with an odd feeling that the looters "lost"—is particularly interesting. It suggests that even though the material objects are gone, their loss may not matter in the long run, or that the thieves (who blend into the objects) were already empty and without real value.

Possible Meanings

  1. Value and Meaning – The dream contrasts things of beauty and meaning (antiques in the house) with things that have lost all identity (dark, dusty lumps). It may reflect a concern over what is worth preserving in your life, career, or beliefs.

  2. Control vs. Acceptance – Initially, you’re anxious about protecting valuable things, but you learn to engage and appreciate them instead. In contrast, in the store, you try to fight back but eventually accept the chaos, realizing that those taking the objects have already "lost."

  3. Personal Exploration and Unresolved Mysteries – The empty but fascinating room represents something unknown within you that you recognize as important but can’t yet define.

  4. Shift in Environment or Purpose – The transition from a place of meaning and conversation to a place of loss and chaos might reflect a concern about how environments shape value. It could symbolize a career shift, a change in people around you, or a personal transformation in how you see the world.

Key Questions to Reflect On

  • Are there aspects of your life that you feel are deeply valuable but fear losing?
  • Are you shifting from a mindset of protection/control to one of exploration and appreciation?
  • Do you feel that something in your world has lost meaning or become chaotic?
  • Is there a mystery or opportunity in your life that intrigues you but remains unclear?

This dream suggests a process of reconciling what is truly valuable with what is beyond your control. You might be in a phase of letting go of certain fears, realizing that some things are worth protecting through engagement, while others are beyond saving.

Fan Day

I am with a group of people that are getting organized before a big event. The boss is telling us all what our duties are, we're all very enthusiastic. We're all wearing white, white pants and  white shirt that says something on the shirt. It is a slogan that the boss brings our attention to. I'm now out of the back room and out on the floor it's early and the big event is about to start. It's my job to accompany and support one of the stars of the event. He's a very famous athlete of some sort. It's a sport I'm not very familiar with. Maybe a Race Car Driver, a  golfer something I don't know what he does. I know what he does and why he's so famous I just don't know exactly what the sport is because I'm not familiar with it. I'm very enthusiastic and very happy to support him. One of the first fan couples come in and I give them one of the souvenir bags that's a large clear plastic bag that is sealed. There's a variety of things inside it that are typically used as part of the sport by the fans. He gets in position which is behind a very high counter. He's much taller than I am and just his head and shoulders appear above the countertop and I explaine to the fans this is a safety element. They go through a process where they open up the bag and use the contents. They may be writing scores on a piece of paper. It's not clear. They leave very satisfied and happy. I now anounce excitedly that it is now my turn. I explain I want to go through the whole process but that he will have to explain it to me as we do it.  We take a quick break and go over to a table that is all laid out with food. The food is all varieties of cake and sweet cakes. I get very excited and very purposely select one of what I think is one of the more delicious treats and put it on a plate. It's a powdered white cake that is a complete mess. I get it all over my shirt and my hands and my face. But because I have on a white shirt the powdered sugar doesn't show as badly. He is sort of laughing at me but I'm so enthusiastic he's not unhappy and is having fun. I'm trying to manage the mess we are in an office space so I'm cognizant of that and try to put my cake down on a napkin while I deal with the mess on my shirt. I'm trying to brush it off in a way it doesn't leave any stain and the star notices the slogan on my shirt. It may say something like if you're going to eat powdered donuts wear a white shirt. That's the implication. I wake with that childhood enthusiasm that I  embraced the spirit of the dream.

ChatGPT

This is a great dream—full of enthusiasm, purpose, and joy! Here’s my interpretation:

The Big Event & White Clothing

You and your group are preparing for a significant event, wearing white uniforms with a slogan. White often symbolizes purity, new beginnings, or a sense of unity and purpose. The slogan on your shirt suggests an important message being reinforced, one that aligns with the theme of your dream. Since you don’t recall the exact wording but know it relates to the experience, it could represent an internal lesson or mindset shift emerging in your waking life.

Supporting the Famous Athlete

You're assigned to assist a well-known athlete from a sport you're not familiar with. This could symbolize a role you're stepping into that involves supporting someone or something you deeply admire but don’t fully understand yet. Since the athlete represents excellence in an unfamiliar field, this might reflect a current or upcoming situation where you’re stepping into a supportive role in an area outside your expertise—but you do so with enthusiasm and trust in your ability to learn.

The Fan Experience & The Sealed Bag

Giving fans a sealed bag containing items essential to their experience suggests facilitating something meaningful for others. The bag being sealed may represent knowledge, skills, or experiences that need to be "opened" or engaged with to be fully understood. The structured process they go through (possibly tracking scores or participating in some way) indicates a system that brings fulfillment. Your desire to go through the process yourself means you don't just want to assist others—you want to personally experience and understand it.

The Cake Scene

The cake table represents indulgence, joy, and childlike excitement. Your deliberate selection of a delicious, messy cake suggests embracing life's sweetness, even if it leads to a bit of chaos. Getting powdered sugar all over you, but it blending with your white shirt, suggests that while life can get messy, sometimes those "messes" are inconsequential or even part of the experience. The humor and acceptance from the star indicate that your enthusiasm makes you endearing and that being playful in life is just as important as taking things seriously.

The Slogan & Childhood Enthusiasm

The humorous implication of the slogan—essentially, if you know you’re going to make a mess, wear something that hides it—suggests a philosophy of embracing life's experiences with preparation and playfulness. The fact that you wake with childhood enthusiasm shows that this dream reinforces an attitude of curiosity, joy, and participation rather than simply observing from the sidelines.

Overall Interpretation

This dream reflects an exciting transition or new role in your life where you are stepping into something unknown but embracing it with joy and energy. It highlights your willingness to engage, support, and learn while staying playful. The dream reminds you that life is meant to be experienced, that "messiness" isn’t a problem if you're prepared for it, and that enthusiasm is more important than perfection.

Does this resonate with anything happening in your life right now?

Me: I hope so. I have recently committed on a deeper level to training dogs in my wife's business. I am definately in a learning and supportive roll.

It sounds like your subconscious is fully on board with this new chapter. Keep that childhood excitement—it’ll serve you well in training!
