Tickets to The Nutcracker

*** Dreamt March 28-29, 2011 ***

My family had tickets to see The Nutcracker. As we were entering the theatre my older brother informed me that a ticket had also been purchased for a girl I know whom I really dislike. I was ANGRY. I started fuming inside and couldn't even speak. I just glared at my brother.

When we got up to our seats I found that my seat wasn't even with the rest of my family! I was even more mad. WHY would they put them in another section than them?? I took my seat and the ballet began.

The production had scarcely begun when the entire section of seats I was in started mechanically separating the seats from one another and sliding around. I hardly had time to react before I found my seat (along with several others) had been moved onto the stage and the dancers were performing around us. I was delighted! I had forgotten about that part of the ballet and I realized that my mom probably gave me that seat because it was the best in the house. I couldn't help but grin, despite feeling some waning level of anger from before.

Then I woke up.

What's the deal?!? What is my subconscious working through?? MANY aspects of this dream are identical to those in my "Tickets to Criminal Minds" dream from earlier this month. I'm baffled at what it may symbolize, though. My family and I being separated at an event, finding out (in great anger) than someone I dislike is with my family instead of me, then finding out that where I am is better (or becomes better) than being with my family are 3 blatantly recurring elements in these dreams. I don't FEEL any separation anxiety from my family...I haven't lived at home for years. There's no one new in my family that I dislike. ...I don't know.

I welcome interpretationss!

Tickets to Criminal Minds

Due to popular demand (one person told me to update my blog), the dream blogging is back!!

*** Dreamt March 6-7, 2011 ***

I was at my old high school to see some theater production. My family was also all there. I decided I'd better buy my ticket so I fought through some crowds and bought a ticket to whatever the show was.

I then went over to my family and they were acting quite put off that I'd decided to buy my own ticket instead of using the ticket they'd bought for me and sitting with them. But I didn't KNOW they'd bought me a ticket, so I was irked at them for not having told me. We all went in and found our respective seats. Mine was in the very back of the theater in the balcony. I looked down and could see my family was on the main floor MUCH closer to the stage than I was. As I looked, they all turned around and saw me and waved, and I noticed that a girl I know whom I really dislike was sitting with them, presumably using the ticket that had been meant for me. I was VERY annoyed.

Somehow something happened, though, that upgraded my ticket so suddenly I was being moved to the front row of the theater. I couldn't complain.

Then everything changed.

I was a member of the FBI Behavior Analysis Unit from the TV show "Criminal Minds". Agents Morgan, Prentiss, Reid, and I were in the Johansen home (the home of one of my childhood friends). We were discussing a case and Dr. Reid spouted off some random fact and then left the room. The 3 of us still in the room laughed and started commenting on how amazing it was that Dr. Reid knows so much stuff. Then he came back in the room, feelings obviously hurt, and said something to the effect of, "I'm just in the next room; I can hear you making fun of me." He then went back to the other room, leaving the 3 of us in stunned silence.

I followed him and tried to explain, "Spence, you know the only reason we say stuff like that is because you're our favorite!" He didn't seem to buy it. I thought a moment, then tried again, "Okay, you AND J.J. are our favorites!". For some reason that convinced him I was telling the truth, so he smiled and shrugged and all was well.

Then I woke up.
