wintertime

Dreamed I was back working in my old job (working on a worldwide corporation) but in a totally different position. Every few minutes I caught a woman giving me the eye - as in I fancy you look.
I sensed that her and her boyfriend who had been together for a very long time were either splitting up, or she really wanted to breakup / try something new or they both wanted to tease each other by telling themselves they were going to date someone new.
After avoiding direct contact with her a number of times I decided just like that to ask her out. I did so when I was after leaving a room were I had been asked to leave because the seat I was sitting on had been pre booked.
Her friends then chased me to ensure I would not escape. Eventually the trapped me!

Before leaving the room I was in I was sitting beside an former work colleague. Like real life I felt a sense of guilt and shame sitting beside him because he works hard to support and maintain himself and his family. Even though I was a level above him at work I always felt shame, guilt and insecure around him because I didn't have the qualifications he had. Instead I had deep first hand experience of the job itself which in many ways allow me to see his position in its entirety. I was a Portfolio Manager and he was a Project Manager.
Another way of putting this is that he is 100% engaged in normal western life while I am 100% engaged in a spiritual path. So sometimes he can't understand when I tell me I'm not interested in looking for a job.

While sitting beside him - we were among a large group of people attending a lecture or meeting, another very senior figure sat down beside us. The more I reluctantly told him what my job was (I was telling him about my last job as if it were my current job), the more and more intrigued he became. But in the end he still choose to ask me to leave because he was the person who had pre-booked the seat I was sitting in. I didn't take this personally because that's the way pre-booking things work.

Directly before all of the above I was in a very small community (<10) people who were getting ready to vote on a national issue. But they were deeply concerned that their problems would not be represented because although the vote counting system was the fairest it could be, they ultimately belived that they were simply too little in number.
