The Hidden Journey Through the Skyscraper University

4/4/2025

i'm a 17 year old girl. i was in a building i don't know what kind of building it was, maybe my house or the student quarters of my university but at that time there was no electricity and i was bored so i decided to go out to a nearby university i took out this gigantic bag and loaded it with stuff i don't really remember and took transport to the university the bag was so heavy i had to slouch forward just to carry it, i then arrived at the university but when i saw it it was more like a skyscraper tower than a university overall it was very beautiful and when i entered the building it was even more beautiful i started to wander around, i went through a corridor and took a turn then i saw this short barricade like a picket fence height and there were students on each side reading a book, i suddenly looked up and took a look at my surroundings and realized there was no electricity in the school either i asked the guy at my side if i could pass the barricade to the other side he replied "if you want to. but there's a corridor that leads to the other side of the barricade", but being stubborn and not wanting to go through the stress i dropped the bag to make it easier to jump over the barricade while i was attempting to jump i was looking at their faces to see if there was any reaction, displeasure, disgust or just anything that said what i'm doing is weird but i was actually suprised to notice the both didn't care so i jumped down and moved my bag to were i was and continued my exploring i passed people on the corridors either gisting with friends or reading a book i kept exploring until i came upon an elevator i pressed the button even if i doubted it would work due to the electricity but surprisingly it did, so i stepped inside and saw that the floor numbers reached 89 floors so i picked a floor at random and went to one of the upper floors, once the elevator door opened i was met with people going around and i was hearing things like "the deadline of the project is due today" and all sorts, it looked like an office setting but the people were definetly students so i was just going around no one paid any mind to me and i liked that after i explored the floor and all it had to offer this time i took the stairs to the floor above the one i was in while taking the stairs i saw a door, it looked like an office door and it was left slightly open so i peeked through it a little and saw a girl with 2 other girls talking about their project i didn't here what they said but i saw a laptop on top it showed an anime that i really loved i guess that was what she was doing for her project because it had writings under the picture, i stood and left continueing climbing the staircase, when i arrived it looked like they were doing renovations the workers weren't there yet but i saw a guy we started talking but i don't remember what we talked about after i took the stairs two floors lower than the one i was on, as i was wandering i saw my ex-boyfriend he smiled and tried to block my way i didn't hate him because it was me who caused our relationship to crumble so i thought he wasn't angry anymore and tried to play along with his joke, when i moved to the other side he tried to block my way again, i did it again and he blocked again i was already smiling when he was walking toward me i thought it was me he was playing with only to find a girl behind me he walked up to her smiling and held her hand and they both started walking off i was so embarrassed and dumbfounded that i stood there, after a while i got over it and continued my journey i was happy for him he found someone that can make him smile. i made a turn down the corrridor to see a restraunt like place when i asked a nearby student they told me it was their cafeteria it looked too pretty to be a cafeteria, i walked inside and saw a vendor at the side of the cafeteria the food she was selling looked delicious and it was a bouffet for a fixed price was what i was told, when i tried to approach the vendor suddenly my grew heavier and it felt like someone was holding me keeping me in place no matter how much i wanted to move the bag was weighing me down so i put it down and went to the vendor then she spoke"you have to say thank you" when i asked why she said "that guy wanted to help you with your bag, it looked like you were struggling", when i turned there was a guy who was in the process of sitting ack down looked worried and was staring at me i turned back and told the vendor i would after buying the food, i asked for the price and she mentioned it was #2500 i thought it was cheap so i went back to the ag on the floor and took out my ATM card and a #2000 bill, i intended to pay with cash and via POS so i went back to the vendor apperently it was also service before payment system so i served myself the food that seemed to pile the entire plate, while i was still serving myself a few of my friends joined me and i was surprised i asked what they where doing here and aern't they supposed to be in our own university, they told me they where bored and wanted to see the school too, soon we where all talking and enjoying each others discussion, after one of my friends payed for their meal i was next i gave the vendor the #2000 bill and proceeded to pay the rest using the POS she gave me but when i tried to type in the amount that was to be deposited there where always problems like the numbers in the type box didn't have specific number i was looking for or the numbers turned to words and it kept happening like that and funnily no one rushed or ridiculed me it was like they weren't even paying attention to me the person with the only POS the vendor had, it kept happening like that until i noticed it was night time everyone had gone even the vendor and all that remaied was my food and the POS i made a mental note to come back the next day and try again, i carried my food picked up the heavy bag and rushed to the exit to try and make it back before they closed the door to the student quarters i was staying in, as i was running i noticed there was electricity and tried using the elevator to get to ground floor but the entrance button was to high up for me to reach luckily someone helped me reach it (i don't know who it was but it was a guy) when i entered into the elevator the buttons weren't high up so i pushed the ground floor button and suddenly the elevator went down like it was plummenting from the sky, i was still able to keep my feet on the ground but i couldn't stay still along with that i had to keep the food from pouring or spilling, finally when the elevator came to a stop i was on the ground floor safe and the food hadn't spilled but as i was running i came across the same barricade so i followed the other corridor that didn't have the barricade and came across the exit only to realize it was raining heavily outside but i had to get back to the quarters so i ran in the rain with the food packaged in my bag and got to the quarters on time with my soaked body i ran up the stairs in my quarters to get back to the room so i can avoid people who like to take a spoon ot of other people's food. that was when i woke up

Your dream is rich with imagery and symbolism, reflecting aspects of your current life and emotional landscape as a 17-year-old girl transitioning into adulthood. Here’s a detailed interpretation of several key elements:

Unknown Building: The dream starts in an unfamiliar building, possibly reflecting your feelings of uncertainty about your future. It could symbolize your journey through adolescence where you are still trying to understand your identity and your place in the world, especially as you are on the brink of transitioning to university life.
Heavy Bag: The gigantic bag you carried represents the burdens and responsibilities you feel in your waking life. It may symbolize the weight of expectations—those you impose on yourself or those from family, friends, or society—as you navigate your teenage years. The fact that you had to slouch under its weight indicates the struggles you're experiencing in balancing these pressures.
Electricity Outage: The absence of electricity in both the initial building and later in the university represents a sense of confusion or lack of clarity in your current situation. Electricity is often associated with energy, ideas, and knowledge; thus, its absence might signify feelings of being lost or unmotivated.
University as a Skyscraper: Your university appearing as a beautiful skyscraper suggests both aspiration and ambition. This could reflect your hopes and dreams for the future, but also the overwhelming nature of these expectations as you step closer to this new phase of your life. The beauty of the building indicates that there is potential and excitement in your future prospects.
Barricade and Picket Fence: The barricade you encountered symbolizes the barriers or challenges you perceive in achieving your goals or desires. Your immediate decision to jump over it shows your determination and willingness to take risks despite potential scrutiny from others. Their indifference might point to your realization that often, people are more focused on their own journeys than judging others.
Encounters with Peers: Throughout your exploration, you interacted with various students, highlighting your social awareness and the importance of community in your life. The conversations about projects suggest the academic pressures you're sensing in your life and the desire to fit in with your peers.
Ex-Boyfriend Encounter: Meeting your ex-boyfriend signifies unresolved feelings or thoughts about past relationships. His smiling and moving on with another girl likely indicates your own acceptance and growth following the relationship. Your ability to wish him happiness shows emotional maturity and a desire for closure.
Cafeteria and Food: Entering a beautiful cafeteria serves as a transitional setting where nourishment—both physical and emotional—becomes important. The heavy bag that weighed you down again at this point may symbolize how past burdens can resurface even when you seek comfort or pleasure.
POS Payment Troubles: Your difficulty in using the POS machine seems to reflect feelings of frustration as you face the challenges of adulthood, such as financial responsibilities and independence. The fact that no one rushes or ridicules you emphasizes your inner desire for acceptance, understanding, and the importance of community in navigating life's challenges.
Running through the Rain: The need to run back to your quarters through heavy rain symbolizes your urgency to secure your safe space, both physically and emotionally. The rain can represent cleansing or renewal, indicating that you are going through a period of emotional growth.

In summary, this dream illustrates your journey through adolescence, grappling with pressures, aspirations, and emotional complexities. It highlights your desire for independence, the significance of relationships, and the awakening awareness of life's challenges and joys. Overall, dreams like these encourage self-reflection and an exploration of your feelings about identity, responsibilities, and the future.
