(I'm not sure how much of this is scattered but I hope this isn't too much.)

I don't remember what happened prior to me finding my crush but I think I had washed my hands recently. I was somewhat aware I was dreaming so I didn't feel to much pressure when I interacted with him. I was trying to get his attention in a playful way so I shook the water off my hands in hopes of it landing on his face and starting a conversation from there. I didn't work so I did it again. It didn't work the second time either. So I decided I would rub the remainder of the water onto his hands because that had to get his attention. It did.
He asked "What did I do that for?" and me trying to have fun I jokingly said
"What do you mean?"
I don't remember the manner he left in but I soon found out that I messed up his nail polish. He had a gold glittery nail polish on that I didn't notice until I saw a girl I went to middle school with fixing it. (It was her birthday recently and I've seen a lot of my old friends post about it so I believe that's why I saw her. I didn't know her personally.) She wasn't painting it back on, she was just rubbing it back on. I don't remember if I had a chance to apologize but I was talking to her because I felt bad. If I had saw the nail polish, I wouldn't have done what I did. She said we could have a trial which I thought was like a mini trial her and her friends did to help solve disputes. I was thinking that only if he felt it was necessary we could go through with it but I didn't ask him. I thought he probably didn't want to see me so maybe she would ask him. I repeated how I didn't know about the nail polish and went onto a bus.

I guess we were going to a career fair.(I'm assuming it was a career fair. It looked like the same building we went to for it last year.) Turns out we came there late. I overheard a teacher shrug it off saying how they only told her the fair was between 12 and 2 so there was no way that she would know what time to take us. Obviously I thought it was a dumb response because common sense would have told you to get us here either before 12 or in between 12 and 2. I guess some people were using the bathroom but I went back on the bus around the same time my crush did. I felt guilty about before and wanted to distance myself from him. I was trying to find the seat that was completely empty prior to us coming.(On the ride there I was sitting toward the back and he was behind me. I remember you said it reflected my insecurities.) All of a sudden there was a human-sized gorilla outside. (I wanna say it was female). At first I thought the bus was safe but then I questioned if she would flip it over. Me, my crush, and the few people that were on the bus got out. Another animal I think threw the gorilla and we ran away. I remember hearing someone say
"They've neglected the animals/nature around them for too long. It's time they learn."
I assumed the message was for all of us.

We all had ran into the woods. I don't remember how we got in the building but we all ended up in a building that had many animals in it. We broke off when we ran into the woods but I assumed everyone who was on that bus was in the building somewhere. I found a room that had a see through flooring and I saw someone I new was stuck in a room with a giant snake. I tried to see if I could find people who could help her but thankfully it wasn't necessary. She used a stick to lift the snake on one end and rotated it while walking around it to get out.

After that I saw a tiger that looked like my stuffed animal. I was happy to see it. The tiger soon bit me on my behind. It didn't draw blood. It did hurt but it wasn't painful. Lastly in the same room there was two microwaves. One had popcorn in it and the other didn't. I don't remember starting it but the microwave started and the popcorn popped. When it was done, the microwave didn't stop. It kept beeping to let me know the food was done but the beeps were also warning beep. If I didn't get the popcorn out, I think the microwave would have caught on fire or blew up. I managed to stop it with 5 seconds left. Someone else was with me by then. I opened the one that had the popcorn in it to air out the smell but there wasn't much of a smell there. The person I was with opened the other microwave not knowing there was nothing in it.

Anon,
I will analyze your dream Sunday. That will give me time to go over your previous dream and see what associations this dream may have with your dream from 8/18. A medium size dream that will require several hours to properly analyze complete with interpretation of the images and actions.

Anon,
I apologize for not getting to your dream yesterday. I have so many responsibilities with 16 rescued cats I often have too little time for other things. Will tackle it tomorrow.

No worries. We all have different responsibilities. Plus that dream was kinda long. I hope your cats don't give you too much trouble. I only have one dog. I can't imagine having that many cats.

Anonymous 08,
Because the dream is very long and repetitive {as most dreams are} in its message i will not break it down and provide an interpretation of the individual images and actions. Instead I will provide a summary.

This dream is pretty much addressing the same issues as your previous posted dream A Decision I didn't want to make. The recurring images of different animals point to a transitional phase in your life to do with male relationships. Parts of the dream is addressing your indoctrination in relationship with your father {conditioned to see males in that light} and needing to get away from those impressions and learn to interact with males and eventually engage in a normal relationship {better than the one you had with your father}. The issue with expressing yourself is due to the relationship with your father which is a deterrent to expressing yourself when it comes to males in the present. But you are maturing and that is pushing you to grow out of the past issues. Your insecurities are remain and are strong but nature is forcing you to take risks you would not normally take. The natural desire for boy/girl relationships are putting demands on you and slowly make you grow out of your insecurities {specifically related to self expression}.

The other aspect of the dream is making correct choices when it does come to relationships. You do not wish to have a relationship with a father type personality. You have ideas of what type person you wish to engage with but because of your childhood conditioning {with father} you still question yourself. Expression is both an outer issue as well as inner one, both stimulated by your relationship with your father. You find yourself stuck in which way to go. You are afraid of making wrong choices when it comes to relationships, afraid your decisions will end up leaving your life being empty of a good male. Just as it was with your father. The key phrase is, I” remember hearing someone say
"They've neglected the animals/nature around them for too long. It's time they learn."
I assumed the message was for all of us.”

The animals represent your physical characteristic, primitive desires, and sexual nature. The neglected aspect is from being around your father too long and the environment that created within your psyche. The nature as aspect is naturally inclination {a long term evolution} to be what is meant to be, a natural relationship. It is time to learn to be the latter, a message for your total psyche so you can achieve proper personal growth. Positive growth {popcorn} is essential if you do not wish to find yourself empty, removing the smell {experiences} of childhood. Those experiences have a strong influence on your thinking both conscious and unconscious. You are at a stage of making decisions about relationships {and other decisions that involve the father/daughter relationship}. You have fears of making wrong decisions which are at the core of the issues with self expression. You could/can not express yourself with your father which carries over to your social life. But nature is forcing you to make those choices. The fears remain but if you understand what is propelling your actions/thoughts will help ease them. That is what the dreams are attempting to do. Help you resolve the issues in your waking life by helping you understand why you feel and act as you do.

Bottom line. This dream is pretty much stating the same thing as your other dream. You will have more such dreams because the issue will take time to resolve. Just remember what the stimulus is, your relationship with your father, not able to express your love {and vice versa} which provides a blurred vision of what a good male relationship should be like.

I've been working on being more expressive. I'm not sure if I've made a lot of progress but I've been working on it. I was working on it a bit before quarantine and after a couple of months to myself, I felt like I had to start over. At least regarding face to face communication. You're right, it's gonna be long. I just underestimated how long it would take. I am afraid of making wrong decisions. To avoid the possibility of making a bad one, I take longer to make decisions.
Thank you again for the interpretation.��
