The dream
This was a very vivid dream.
I am at work. A group of interns are in the office and all of them
seem to be in my way. I also notice Steve (an instructor) is sitting
at the desk behind mine. I finally make it to my desk and one of the
interns is sitting there. I politely ask her to move -- several times.
She just stares into space. I finally scream right in her ear and she
gets up and moves to another desk -- and continues to stare into
space. I wonder what Steve thinks of me yelling at her.
I am trying to get my work done (preparing for a meeting) and
these interns keep interrupting me while Steve just keeps
watching. I ask the interns to prepare dinner for the meeting as I
expect it to be a long one. I see one of them making some kind of
sandwiches with lots of mayonnaise. I tell him to cut down on the
mayo and I need three sandwiches with mustard -- no mayo. I
advise them that there are several vegetarians on the committee
so they should make vegetable sandwiches. One of the interns
has slices of red peppers in front of him that he refuses to put on
a sandwich.
The symbols
Interns are students, in dreams they symbolize learning or a part of
you that needs to learn something. An instructor is just that -- one
who teaches. It may symbolize a part of you that is the teacher to
yourself or others. Or it may be referring to a "higher self", spirit
or guide. Work is a common dream scene -- after all we spend a
significant amount of time on our jobs. It may be referring to
something that is happening on the job, or it may be telling you
that you have a job to do. Dreaming of food or eating is usually a
reference to a need to feed the soul or spirit; or it may be telling
you that you need to eat healthier and take care of yourself better.
