A warning of events to come.

I was at work.  I had finished three separate projects and moved to put them away. The project paperwork consisted of three piles of restaurant tickets that I assume I had checked and totaled and rubber banded separately. I had a long, rectangular wooden box sitting on a narrow shelf.  I opened it and placed the three piles of tickets in the box for safekeeping.  As I did this, I became aware that it was flooding outside.  The water was rising so swiftly, it was already coming inside the office.  I decided I should save the project paperwork and opened the box again to grab the tickets.  But the water was rising too fast.  I knew I couldn’t save the project paperwork and get myself emergency supplies and escape.  I left the project paperwork in the box and grabbed several healthy snack bars that I had stashed in the box.  I wanted to be sure I had something to eat in case I was stuck somewhere for a long period of time without access to food.

Wooden-new possibilities or something constructive about to occur.

Box-the conditions surrounding one’s life.  That which is hemmed in by circumstances, the environment, or one’s state of mind.

Flooding-corresponds to an inundation of water, spirit, emotion, or frustration. Something that overwhelms one’s situation; breakdown.

I have physical, mental and spiritual (three) accomplishments (completed projects) at my present occupation (work) which have given me important insight (paper tickets).  These insights offer new possibilities but are hemmed in by the conditions of my life (wooden box) and I put them away (shelf) as I am ready to move on to the next thing. But an inundation of spirit or frustration (flooding) overwhelms me next before I can move on.  I do my best to hold onto what will serve me best in this new situation (food) and worry I will lose what I accomplished (leaving the tickets in the box).

I am being warned that my life is about to be very challenging.  I am presuming this will mainly be occurring at work, as this is where the dream is situated.  I am not looking forward to this, but at least I had some warning.  This will help me to be more prepared mentally when the unexpected begins.
