I was at a friend's house party. She was hosting, I was just in attendance. Everytime I kept catching her, she was catching a breath. Then she'd be off to the next thing, whether it be shots, or food to hand out. She was doing a really good job. I felt out of place amongst her friends and her life. She's a little bit older than me, but in this dream it felt like we were the same age and as if it was in the past like 2016-2018 or something
This dream may symbolize feelings of inadequacy or feeling out of place in a social situation. The house party could represent a social gathering or event where you feel like you don't quite fit in or belong. Your friend's constant need to catch her breath and move on to the next thing could represent feelings of being overwhelmed or struggling to keep up with the pace of the social scene or with your friend's life.
The time frame you mentioned (2016-2018) may symbolize a period in your life when you may have felt similar emotions of comparison or feeling like you were not on the same level as others around you. It's possible that this dream is reflecting unresolved feelings of comparison, striving for perfection, or trying to keep up with the expectations of others.
Overall, this dream could be a reflection of your subconscious feelings of insecurity or self-doubt in social situations, and may be a reminder to focus on embracing your own uniqueness and worth, rather than comparing yourself to others.
