A dream letting me know I would be a little wild.

I saw myself in the dream.  I noticed my hair.  It was not its normal style, neat and combed.  Instead, it looked very frizzy and puffy, with no style at all.  I almost looked like a crazy person.

Significant Symbols:

Hair- ideas, thoughts, creativity, intellect, state of mind, mental processes.  The thinking that one has.

I am passing through a period where my thinking is “wild” (wild hair). To me it seems almost “crazy”.

I am going through a period of time when I am unsettled in my thinking.  Some of it has to do with my work circumstances and how I feel about it.  But some of it has to do with my children and the suffering I am seeing them experience through their poor choices.  I have yet to come to a satisfactory state of mind concerning any of it, and it makes my thinking chaotic.  It is not fun.

This was also a warning of an event to come.  Later in the day, I was at work and an incident happened in which several students were misbehaving. I had to step in and gain control as they were being very unruly.  I had to be very strict and loud.  I am sure I looked like a crazy person to them.  Even though I had the warning from the dream, I wasn’t expecting the event and merely reacted to what was happening.  If I had really given it some thought beforehand, I might have managed better composure.  Which would have been a good idea because of the students.  They remember when someone seems unreasonable. I don’t like it when I have negative experiences with other people.  Knowing the effect the dream says I had, I could use this information to temper my interactions with the students in the future so that the result is more positive but still produces the desired results.   This incident made me think of a positive reward we could give the students if they behaved in this specific situation.  We implemented the reward and it has in fact been working quite well, to our benefit and the students.

As you can see, a dream can give two messages using the same symbology.  Always apply the dream first to yourself, then extend it outward to others and actual events.
