I dream regularly and many of my dreams have recurring themes of being lost, confused, lonely, obstructed and uncared for. The other day I had an elaborate dream taking place in a hotel. Mary Lou and Jenny were there and Jenny asked me to get her a replacement room key because she misplaced hers. I went to the front desk and got the key. I was tired and hungry, so I started looking around to find somewhere to eat breakfast and then find my room to like down for a nap. I had difficulty locating elevators and wandered around for several minutes. Finally, I saw Mary Lou sitting near a cafe. I told her the trouble I was having but she seemed distant and indifferent. Finally, I found the restaurant and asked if breakfast was being served but it had just closed. A kitchen worker found a plate of cinnamon rolls and handed one to a server. I offered to pay but was told they weren't going to charge me. However, the server started eating the roll. A petit four fell on the floor next to me and broke into two parts. I picked them up off the floor and ate them.
The recurring discombobulation dreams are somewhat puzzling although I recognize they reflect experiences and issues from earlier in my life. The question is do they also reflect current issues I'm not fully aware of? My biggest conscious concern is whether I'm failing to use my time and ample resources wisely.
