Hello all:
I'm new to this forum, but I've been interested in dream interpretation for years. Today, I have decided to invest the time to learn how to do it. Would love your thoughts on this dream I had last night. I hope to meet other people on this board, newbies and experts alike, who can help me learn from my dreams. Thank you for your time!

So, the dream starts with me eating chocolate ice cream in my car, in the rain. I'm sitting in the driver's seat. I should mention that I think it's my old car, the one I traded in for the one I currently have. The ice cream is not cold, but it's delicious, and I want to go into the store for another pint or something.

So I walk into the store, and it's kind of small and crowded, and I go to this guy working behind the counter. In my dream, he is familiar, so it leads me to believe he's the guy who helped me before when I bought the chocolate ice cream. He's totally flirting with me, and I'm flirting back. He scoops some apple pie and cherry ice cream into a tiny little pint, and I take it, and go to the cashier to pay.

At the cash register is a young girl, who clearly hates me, and an older man, who I think is the owner or the manager. She is completely mean to me, and charges me $9.81 cents for each flavor I have. I'm so angry, because she's clearly overcharging me, but at the same time, I feel a bit of guilt, so I apologize. At one point, I'm accusing her of something, and I point my finger in her face, and she doesn't seem shocked by this, but she maintains a calm, almost sinister demeanor about her. She's looking at me like she thinks she's better than me. And then I apologize for sticking my finger in her face, saying "it's a bad habit I have," but inside I'm mad at myself for apologizing.

So then I go to pay, and I hand her my corporate AmEx, because I don't have enough of my own money to pay for the ice cream, and I don't want to leave the store without it for fear of losing face or people thinking that I'm cheap. When she hands me back the receipt and the card, I open my wallet to put it back in and I'm surprised to see that there are multiple $100 bills in there. I don't know where they came from, but I can deduce that either the guy earlier had given them to me because he wanted me to have it, or he had made a mistake and given me the wrong change. So I feel guilty, but I decide to leave the store without saying anything because I really need the money. As I'm leaving, the guy who flirted with me says "bye!" really loudly, and I say bye, but I don't turn to look at him. I'm embarrassed. Then, I hear the manager, who was standing next to the mean girl, ask her, "so are you going to hang out with your man tonight?" and that's when I realize the guy who was flirting with me was her boyfriend. That's when I realized why she was so mean to me. After I figured this out, I felt a bit proud, because she was so mean to me and it seemed she had won our battle, but in reality, I had won.

The dream ends with me getting into my car, in the rain, and eating ice cream.

Thoughts? I know that rain symbolizes a cleansing or renewal, but what about ice cream and everything else? I have this weird feeling that my dream is trying to tell me something, but I can't figure it out.

I hope to hear from you!
