Working with Your Dreams Part IV

“The sign on the entrance read:  Sleep Study Research and Dream Interpretation Institute. I entered this enormous building, which was more like a shopping mall then a science institution, with great anticipation. I was there for a job interview with this middle aged gentleman who hired me on the spot, because he noticed my enthusiasm about the study of dreams. He was a nice person but strict and expected the work to be done.  He partnered me with some young man who was kind, but not overly excited about his work. I learned that the only reason he had this job was because of his wife, the scientist who conducted the studies on the volunteers and patients who came to the institute.  My boss told me that my partner was going to show me around and introduce me to his spouse. We then went upstairs to the laboratory by way of escalator, and found his wife waiting for us as we arrived. She was very businesslike and a go getter type of person.  I admired her immediately and decided to emulate her work habits.  As we were about to enter her laboratory, I spotted my boss with another man.  My boss called us over and introduced us to this man who’s name I recognized as a leading authority and author on Astral Projection.  We were then instructed to assign a room to the author and were invited into his room.” It was at this point that I woke up

Last night, before my bedtime ritual of prayer and meditation, I was thinking about today’s article for the continuing series of Working With Your Dreams.  Then in my prayer I asked for my creativity to open and for the words to flow so that I can share them with others. I then fell asleep after taking a glass of water with Vitamin B-6. Just before awakening this morning, I had the above dream. So what did I do with it?  I layed still and thought about the above dream, invoking any feelings or sensations that I may have experienced while actually in the dreamscape. After I recalled as much as I could I immediately grabbed my journal and wrote it down, as quickly as I could before it would disappear later in the day. As I was looking over this dream while drinking my cup of Teecino, I realized that this would be the perfect example to illustrate how to interpret the symbols found in your dreams without using a dream dictionary. So, how do I interpret this dream?
