"I dreamed about a senior that I admire / have a crush on. He’s very close to my ideal type — someone who loves nature, sports, and outdoor activities, enjoys documenting life, and lives in a way that’s similar to the lifestyle I aspire to. I’m still not sure about his personality. His overall aura feels a bit like the guy I liked in secondary school — that kind of presence — but he’s not as conventionally handsome or masculine in appearance. In the dream, he and a senior girl (they use the same cartoon character for they school accounts and I don’t think they’re in a relationship, but they seem like close classmates. ) were walking around together with me. Later, the two of them held hands. Surprisingly, in the dream I felt quite happy and didn’t feel jealous at all. I just walked along with them. At one point, the senior girl left briefly, and the senior guy still showed care and concern for me."

"There was a wholesaler art my house who I was previously working extensively with. He was having a meeting so after that I met with him. It seemed he was rolling out a website that would be competing but he wanted to work with me again. So we came to an agreement on how to make it happen. He morphed into another guy who I look to as a mentor and we came to a deal. I was younger like a older teenager in the dream and my brothers and sisters were there and we were all doing homeschooling stuff but it was like real work that was teaching us directly like unschooling and we were all working on projects that would make us money. It seemed a lot better than sitting in a classroom. "

"I remember being at my high school parking lot, I had just returned from a big trip. I wasn’t sure if I had all of my necessities met, but food ended up being provided for me, I had a ride home. I remember knowing my now partner was there, but we weren’t together yet. I had to be very mindful of not longing for him, knowing he would disappear if I did. I remember traveling with my school principal. It looked like we were heading home but we weren’t heading home (I recognized the physical landscape as an area near my childhood home) I remember people were riding horses through the River, like wild stallions. We were in cars though that seemed to come in and out of existence, while simultaneously being wagons. "
