I was in the mall with my family and it was closing time. We found stairs you had to pay for and I started crying because I couldn't find the right amount of money to pay for it in my pockets. Then the stairs made a suction sound and emptied us out into a hippie lounge. I looked around and everyone was doing drugs and I saw my ex snorting crack. I saw my guitar in one of the vendors set ups but it wasn't for sale. There was a girl doing LSD.
The dream may indicate feelings of stress and insecurity in relation to your family or your financial situation. The mall closing and the struggle to find the right amount of money to pay for the stairs could symbolize a fear of not being able to meet expectations or feeling inadequate. The suction sound and sudden transition to a hippie lounge may suggest a desire for escape or a need for change in your current circumstances.
The presence of your ex, who is snorting crack, could represent unresolved feelings or unresolved issues from that past relationship. This may suggest that there are still lingering emotions or unresolved issues related to that person that need to be addressed.
Seeing your guitar but it not being for sale could symbolize missed opportunities or a longing for a creative outlet that may feel out of reach.
Lastly, the girl doing LSD in the dream may be a representation of curiosity or a desire for exploration. It may suggest a need to break free from constraints and experience something different or unconventional in your life.
Overall, the dream seems to reflect a mix of anxiety, longing for change or escape, unresolved emotions, missed opportunities, and a desire for exploration. It could be helpful to reflect on these symbolism and consider how they relate to your current waking life circumstances and emotions.
