Recurring dreams about finding a child/eating food?
I keep having these dreams of a woman stranger approaching me. During both dreams, I participated in the dream, not really paying attention to anything (in one, I was buying food in a shopping mall food court, and in the other, I was taking a test) when some girl approaches me and gets my attention. It seems that the woman had been watching me for awhile before approaching me. Each time it happened, the woman was intent on getting my attention; and in them both, there is a sense of familiarity that the stranger has with me, though I do not know who this person is in real life, nor in the dream.
One symbol in particular stood out in the second dream in which this happened. In the second dream, I'm waiting on my order of food at a food stand in the food court of a shopping mall, and the woman stranger approaches. She claims that she knows me through my brother, and she's very persistent in getting to know me. But as we are talking--this is the peculiar part of the dream--the man preparing my food gives me some shrimp, and then proceeds to ask me if this is what I want. Then he tells me to put the food in my mouth and eat it. This symbol is a symbol that has occurred before in a dream.
There are two other dreams that I had had previously that have the same symbols. In one dream, I traveled to my old elementary school to search for my old 2nd grade teacher. When I got to her old classroom, some young woman who looks to be my age is teaching the class. She tells me that my old teacher retired years ago. I then turn to leave the school, but before I do, I visit the school cafeteria so that I can order some breakfast. I try to put in an order for a cinnamon biscuit--it's morning time, but the cafeteria is serving mostly cakes and desserts--but the guy taking my order, whose a giant that's about 10 feet tall by the way, can't hear me because other people waiting around the cafeteria are talking too loud. After finally hearing what I'm asking for, he slips me a piece of paper with instructions on it, as he tells me that that is a special order, and that I have to ask for the order in a special way. I take the piece of paper, and then I immediately go into another dream, where I awaken in my room, and I'm lying in my bed, and I hear music coming from my cell phone. When I look at my cell phone, I see these songs with interesting song titles like "Great in Spirit" and "Praised", and then I wake up in real life.
In the other dream I had, I was trying to convince this little boy to leave this house and go to his own birthday party. He was scared to go to his own birthday party. I go and find things for him to convince him to leave with us. There were others in the dream who were trying to take care of him also. I don't remember if it was him that was lost too, but in the dream I kept finding things. In the end, I find a little white kitten and I think it is dead, but it isn't. I start to get a little depressed because I realize that no matter what I do, he will never end up happy. I say to myself "No matter what I give him, he will never be happy," but then I say, "keep giving him things and taking them away, but in the very end give him what he needs." I leave the place and go walking outside. I can't remember who I was with. All these people recognize me, and I look at them at recognize them. Everything seems fun. Me and whoever I am with go into a restaurant, and we see all of these celebrities when they were young, and they all recognize me and call out to me. Everyone is eating, and I see these heaps of fried fish and chicken and other fried things that look good to eat. I decide to grab myself a small bucket of chicken wings, and I begin to eat them. I then realize that I'm eating chicken, and I throw the chicken on the floor (Bc im a vegetarian). Some girl with silver and black glasses sees me throw the chicken on the floor and starts laughing at the fact that I threw the chicken on the floor, and we talk about other things that I don't remember, and then I wake up.
It seems that the dream character in the dream that gave me the shrimp knew that I was going to spit out the shrimp, because in the dream, he tells me not to worry about spitting it out since it wasn't real meat. My unconscious must have known that I had spit out the meat in that last dream about the chicken. Anyways, these dream symbols have been coming to me for months. It first started with fruit, and now it's meat. There are other symbols in my dreams that are recurring as well, but I don't want to put those dreams here, as it would be too much to read.
Can anyone help me?
