Fountain ice cream in a movie theater

[Licher]

Hi everyone, I had a really strange dream last night that I was wondering if someone could help me understand. I was in the lobby of a movie theater on a date with my now ex-girlfriend. The lobby was deserted. At the back of the lobby was an unstaffed concession stand with the lights turned out. Towards the front of lobby where I was standing, there was device similar to a soda fountain. Instead of it dispensing soda, it dispensed ice cream. (Similar to a Dairy Queen Blizzard) I had a cup to fill up, so as I was looking at the flavors, I noticed there was chocolate chip. I decided that was the flavor I wanted, but for some reason it was "locked" and I could not push the cup against the dispenser to get it to give me any. I had a weird feeling that it was a friend of mine that locked it. Since, I could not get the flavor I wanted, I ended up mixing all of the other flavors together (about 5 different ones.) I remember one was mint chocolate chip. I think there may have been a purple or red flavor there too. I woke up shortly after this, never made it into the actual screen for the movie, also never knew what movie I was there to see. Any thoughts?

Icecream is something cold an sweet, but you cannot get it (in your dream). It might have something to do with your girlfriend. Maybe she is nice and sweet, but cold, she has no feelings for you. So, you cannot, just as well, have any story with her (story = movie).

does your friend who locked it have a girlfriend and if so do you secretly fancy her?

or possibly is it that you know what you want in a girlfriend but you are going out with girls that are not your type because your afraid of being judged by your friends?

Maybe the fact that it is locked means that you are never getting what you want lately so you have to compromise with lesser things. Maybe you feel tension with the friend that you thought locked it, like he is the one taking something away from you...

Hey guys, thanks for the responses. To answer your question. The friend who I thought had something to do with it being locked doesn't have a girlfriend. I should also add that the feeling of the ice cream being locked because of my friend, was more of a coincidental feeling, not a feeling that it was locked to intentionally keep me out of it. or possibly is it that you know what you want in a girlfriend but you are going out with girls that are not your type because your afraid of being judged by your friends? I'm not quite sure what to make of this. How did you come to this conclusion? I'm not worried about being judged by my friends (Most of them know I'll do my own thing regardless of what people think). Maybe the fact that it is locked means that you are never getting what you want lately so you have to compromise with lesser things. This definitely falls in line with what has been going on in my life lately. I was looking at another website (dreammoods.com) with dream symbols on it and it said that Ice Cream meant " To see or eat ice cream in your dream, denotes pleasure and satisfaction with your life. It is also an indicative of good luck and success in love. and that being in a movie theater meant: To dream that you are in a movie theater, indicates that you are attempting to protect yourself from your emotions and/or actions. Viewing them on a movie screen projects them onto another person and thus makes those feelings/actions distant . You may be protecting yourself from experiencing them. These two things seem to contradict each other. Any thoughts on that?

My guess is you enjoy the picture theatre. But the picture theatre can be a movie about other situations that remove you from your own world. Sometimes it can be an escape, a time to relax and enjoy being entertained. You are there with your recently separated partner and there is nobody else there. It is like no-one is interested in your relationship or attending to your needs. The soda vendor is not working. You compromise for icecream and still you cannot have the smallest of enjoyments. All enjoyments are "locked" from you. Still you persist you compromise again and again and take the outcome. On some level you are satisfied. I am thinking this may be something to do with you wishing to be partnered. You want to enjoy or share your life with someone. You want your home to be filled - this is your need and no one is attending to that need - as they may think it a want - but it a need a need to feel complete. So you compromise, lower your expectations. Maybe you date someone that does not quite reach or expectations. Still you are locked out, so you compromise. You go out with four or five different flavours - you "mix" or socialise with these people. Finally out of the compromise comes a nice mix a peppermint choc chip. You do not see the movie because the vendor machine really solved the problem by being cantankerous. Maybe your computer has been dropping out and you have found a pretty and beautiful person as result. I hope this helps and good luck with love Garnet
