On vacation, walking across 'turtle islands' (car-sized mounds of sand with a pleasant flour-like consistency interspersed with intertidal pools, jade-turquoise water. Young families and small children are playing in these pools as I'm walking to a beach. When I find a beach spot, I go into the ocean (same jade-turquoise), and it's lovely but the water is warm as a bath. I go somewhere to order a large quantity of sandwiches for people with me around this location. I also book a reservation/large group of tickets for some kind of cultural experience but forget for what day/time, which required extra straightening out. Maybe this is a language institute or retreat, because I make a quiz. This includes an example that I regret as soon as a print it out. For the first item, I include "a dick" as an example of "grande" and realize that this is very unprofessional. A friend that I admire and worry about seeing this the most takes the quiz and answers "grueso y duradero." This could be an error for "big and hard," or "girthy and long-lasting," so maybe my friend interpreted "grande" as "great" rather than "large." It seems like a winking response, which is a relief/cause for slight intrigue. In a classroom meeting, some people are talking about a 1980s editorial about Cuba that no longer exists and I point them in the direction of several sources in that vein from the 1890s to the 1980s including "Do we want Cuba" from the _Philadelphia Inquirer_ ca. 1894. They're really excited to learn about the sources and it's a fun conversation
This dream is quite complex and rich with symbolism. Walking across 'turtle islands' could symbolize a journey or transition in your life that is both serene and playful. The intertidal pools and jade-turquoise water suggest emotional cleansing and renewal. The warm bath-like water may represent comfort and relaxation in a challenging situation.
Ordering sandwiches for people and booking a cultural experience for a large group may reflect your caretaking and nurturing tendencies towards those around you, as well as your desire to create meaningful experiences for others.
The language institute or retreat setting could represent a desire for personal growth and learning. Making a quiz with an inappropriate example ("a dick") may indicate feelings of embarrassment or concerns about professionalism in a social or work-related context. Your friend's response to the quiz could symbolize a mix of amusement, understanding, and perhaps a hint of flirtation.
Guiding others towards historical sources about Cuba in the dream may suggest an interest in exploring the past, seeking knowledge, or helping others discover new perspectives. The excitement and fun conversation in the classroom meeting could represent a sense of fulfillment in sharing your knowledge and insights with others.
Overall, this dream may reflect a mix of emotions, desires for connection and growth, as well as a sense of curiosity and intellectual engagement in your waking life.
