"Time Will Feed Upon Your Weaknesses"

To see a clock in your dream, signifies the importance of time in some waking situation. You may be feeling some anxiety of not being on top of things. Your mind may be preoccupied with a deadline that you have to meet or some other time-sensitive issue. It is time for you to tread on and speed up your actions. If the clock is chiming, then it suggests that time is running out. Alternatively, clocks symbolize the ticking of the human heart and thus is indicative of the emotional side of your life. If the clock has stopped, then it signifies death. This is a common theme for the terminally ill or the dying. Consider the time shown on the clock and determine the significance of the numerals or of the time.
To see your childhood friend in your dream, signifies regression into your past where you had no responsibilities and things were much simpler and carefree. You may be wanting to escape the the pressures and stresses of adulthood. Consider the relationship you had with this friend and the lessons that were learned. Alternatively, the childhood friend may be suggesting that you have been acting in a childish manner and you need to start acting like an adult.
To dream that you are at a graduation, represents your achievements and a successful transition to a higher level of ability. You are ready to move forward with your accomplishments and do more important things.
To hear a speech in your dream, suggests that your inner feelings are being made conscious to those around you. Consider what is said in the speech. If you hear a politician give a speech, then it represents egotism and deceit.
The color yellow has both positive and negative connotations. If the dream is a pleasant one, then the color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom. On the other hand, if the dream is an unpleasant one, then the color represents cowardice and sickness. You may have a fear or an inability to make a decision or take action. As a result, you are experiencing many setbacks.
To dream about high school, refers to the bounds and friendships that you made while you were in high school. What spiritual lessons have you learned? The dream may also be telling you that you need to start preparing for the real world.
To dream that you are crying, signifies a release of negative emotions that is more likely caused by some waking situation rather than the events of the dream itself. Your dream is a way to regain some emotional balance and a way to safely let out your fears and frustrations. In our daily lives, we tend to ignore, deny, or repress our feelings. But in our dream state, our defense mechanisms are no longer on guard and thus allow for the release of such emotions
To see a picture in your dream, symbolizes a mental imprint that remains persistent in your mind. There may be permanence in your actions. Also consider the pun on "picture this" or "seeing the big picture" in a situation.


I won't describe my entire dream, but I want to mention something that I cannot convey through interpretation excerpts for the sake of not forgetting. The first dream I had this morning involved me at a school and some teacher. That's all I remembered of that. Then I went back to sleep to have a more in depth dream involving a school. This school is the grade school I went to for the majority of my life, in which I still live next to. However it was supposed to be high school and this day in the dream was our graduation. My cousin was there and graduating as well. This little event was being held in the school cafeteria, just as I remember it. My cousin was giving a speech, and he looked a lot like he did in high school, kind of full bodied and beardless except his face didn't have that same baby fat in it [not to sound harsh, it's just fascinating]. I don't really know what he was talking about and this event was far from being formal because eventually I was standing up there with him and he was talking to another girl that he liked. He was describing that in his teens he was colorblind [so apparently he is not anymore] and that she seemed beautiful to him then [and I guess not so much anymore?] But the topic of colorblind lead some other people to stand up with us and say some story in which American Sign Language got involved and it became a discussion on how they feel it is necessary that we learn it. Meanwhile, I'm standing up here, not saying a word but smiling in happiness. I guess I didn't need to say anything because everyone knew I was hard of hearing and knew that I felt ASL was necessary as well. An older man came up, he was discussing his condition which causes him to spontaneously and involuntarily swallow his tongue, so talking is very dangerous for him. He felt ASL would help him a great deal. I gave him a great smile, tears in my eyes and I put my hand on his shoulder. As he was walking away, we held hands. It was beautiful.

Other various things happened with included my childhood friend, once again, to be in my dream. I have been meaning to talk about how I feel about her and why I think she keeps appearing in my dreams. But I don't want to do that today. I do remember seeing a clock on the wall that said 3:30pm in which I freaked out about because in reality I have to be at work at 4pm today. That is pretty interesting for rarely, if at all, for time to be a concept or representation in my dreams. I knew I dreamt it partly because I didn't want to sleep in too late this morning. Speaking of sleep! I've been doing much better and without the help of sleep aids. It's wonderful!
