I was back in the building of my old high school for a brief moment, waiting to depart for a field trip scheduled at 10 am. I ended up boarding the wrong train with a different group of classmates an hour early at 9. I was nervous when I realized what was going on, though the train was cozy with dark cushions on every seat and my classmates were nice. That eased the situation a little. I looked out the windows and saw the greenest trees along the expressway that we were passing through. It was like the train that ran down the middle of the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago, except the train in my dream was stylish and fancier. We were approaching a historical-looking location. When we arrived, we entered a big building with a “woody” interior and railing on the second floor that you can lean on to look below you. I got the vibes that the place sold souvenirs and that we were about to watch a short movie for some time. Despite the peaceful and aesthetically-pleasing nature of the place, I dreaded missing the field trip that I originally signed up for and approached my Digital Media teacher who was chaperoning. I told him about the situation. He was understanding and walked me back to the train, making sure that I got back to school before my original group departed. I enjoyed the ride back just as much and arrived just in time to board the correct train at 10 am.
This dream may represent a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, particularly your high school years. Being back in your old high school symbolizes a desire to revisit familiar surroundings and memories. Boarding the wrong train with different classmates may suggest that you are feeling a bit off-track or uncertain about your current path in life. Despite your initial nervousness, the cozy train and nice classmates represent a sense of comfort and support during this uncertain phase.
The green trees and stylish train indicate a sense of beauty and aesthetics, perhaps reflecting a desire for a more aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable journey in life. The historical-looking location and the building with a woody interior may symbolize a longing for a sense of tradition and stability.
The dread of missing the field trip and approaching your Digital Media teacher for help suggests a fear of missing out on opportunities or feeling like you are falling behind. However, the fact that your teacher is understanding and helps you return to the right path signifies that you have support and guidance in your life.
In the end, boarding the correct train on time represents finding your way back to your intended path and feeling a sense of fulfillment. Overall, this dream may indicate a longing for familiarity and stability while also highlighting the importance of seeking support and guidance to navigate through uncertain times.
