I dreamed I went to a job meeting that was in Europe. While there I went to a pastry shop and waited in line for a long time. The shop was crammed with people waiting for their fresh pastries. I wanted to make sure I got something for everyone of my family members that came with me, but then my mother came in and told me i would be late to my team's meeting. I was fifth away from getting my number called to order, but she insisted i go to my meeting. I left with her and at the meeting it was dull and unnecessary, so i left back to the shop. there were only a few people there now. I asked what everyone would like and no one seemed to want anything. So i got three donuts for myself. The shelves were nearly empty, with few options left for me to choose from. I wasn't entirely satisfied with my choice, but it was better then nothing.
This dream could represent your feeling of being torn between your obligations and your personal needs or desires. The job meeting and the pastry shop symbolize the different priorities of work and pleasure. Your desire to get something for everyone in your family shows your caring nature and desire to make everyone happy. However, the appearance of your mother telling you to prioritize your meeting could indicate a sense of guilt or pressure to prioritize work over personal desires.
The dull and unnecessary meeting may represent the feeling of monotony or boredom in your current job or work environment. It could also signify your feeling that some of your personal obligations are being neglected or overlooked due to your work commitments.
The nearly empty pastry shop could represent a sense of disappointment or a feeling of missed opportunities. It could also indicate a fear of scarcity or not having enough. The fact that you only got three donuts for yourself, and were not entirely satisfied with your choice, could suggest a feeling of having to settle for something less than what you really want or need.
Overall, this dream may be a reflection of your need to find balance between work obligations and personal desires, while also grappling with feelings of guilt, pressure, and a fear of not having enough.
