The guy I am in a romantic relationship with and myself were stuck in an after school program. We work with kids but in the dream we were the teenagers stuck in the program, not allowed to go home until 5:30pm, even though we had cars at the school. When trying to escape early, him and I could not read what the other was trying to say about how to get out. A teacher (in real life I work with) showed me a picture of his lively ex girlfriend and told stories about her. She also showed that his best coloring sheet he did was one where he still got out of the lines. He’s a grown man.
This dream may symbolize feelings of being trapped or restricted in your relationship with the guy. You and your partner being stuck in an after-school program could represent a feeling of being held back or prevented from progressing in your romantic relationship. The inability to communicate effectively about how to escape could reflect challenges or misunderstandings in your relationship that are hindering your ability to move forward.
The teacher showing you a picture of the guy's ex-girlfriend and telling stories about her could indicate unresolved feelings or insecurities about his past relationships. The fact that the teacher pointed out his best coloring sheet being one where he still colored outside the lines may suggest that your partner has a history of breaking rules or boundaries, which could be causing you anxiety or concern.
Overall, this dream may be highlighting feelings of being stuck or limited in your relationship, as well as potential insecurities or uncertainties about the guy's past and the dynamics of your relationship. It could be a reflection of your subconscious trying to process and make sense of these feelings and concerns.
