Kanye West Snoop Dogg Mall Robbery

Last night I dreamed that I was hanging out with Snoop Dogg and Kanye West. A strange dream already, things got even weirder when the three of us somehow ended up robbing a mall in the middle of the night. Seriously. Kanye went off on his own as Snoop Dogg and I decided to break into an electronics store. We stole a few TV's and I stole a projector. I broke off from the group and ended up in a library within the mall that was very old and very messy. The library had two floors, the top floor being a children's section that overlooked the entire mall. As I sat in the library in the dark, I saw a few security guards. I ran to get my two rapper buddies and the three of us made our way out of the mall and across the parking lot.

Interpretation: 
Dreaming of a mall represents an attempt to make a good impression on someone. Being in a mall means that I am trying to establish a stronger sense of self. To dream of stealing suggests that I am feeling deprived. Stealing also represents unrealized or unfulfilled goals. Often times this means that I have set my goals too high. To see a projector signifies the need to "project myself" and that I feel the need to make my presence known and my voice heard. A library represents a search for hunger and ideas. A library that is disorganized means that I am having a difficult time organizing my information and that too much information is coming to me at the same time.

While I am usually a very organized person, I have been feeling extremely overwhelmed by the amount of work that I have due before the end of the semester. I believe that this dream, with the exception of the celebrity guests, represents my inability to sort out and conceptualize the work that I have to do. This influx of assignments has made me question my abilities. Because of my increased stress levels, I have needed to look inward at my work ethic and dedication as a student. Though still stressed out, I feel better knowing the source of my issues and better able to deal with them.
