Interview

Dream

I was at my current job and my old boss from 7 years ago Will (he was a sweet guy) was my current boss in my dream. He had an interview with this guy who kind of looked like him (I could remember his face a little. A cute chubby guy then Will.) but was very nice and passionate about what he loved during the interview. After the interview, Will came in the room, it looked like maybe a classroom where myself and my co teacher Oyani were and we started asking about the interview. He said the guy was amazing and wanted to hire him but he was too good to work there. I had to be a little strong minded and tell Will all the things we could do with the new guy’s talents with his knowledge. Will eventually gave in and said he would call the guy, so I hope he got the job. Will then started talking about going back to school, and Oyani tells and tried to show Will the part time job she had found and wanted to know if he thought she should take it. He looked at it and then I looked and I noticed it was porn and had to show them both that it was a scam and porn 😂. She laughed and so did Will and then my dream jumps to my twin brother coming in town and we’re leaving my job and walking up the stairs to this basically abandoned and creepy train station to get on a train and go home. Each flight of stairs is kind of broken and the floor is dark and scary. My brother is pissed with me over this and tried to walk through two train crossings when their lights were signaling as we climbed the stairs and I had to yell at him. When we got to the top floor, there was light and a few other people scattered. Next thing you know the entrance door to the leave to get on the train flew open and broke off the wall, and these men came in trying to fight everyone. This goth girl and I grabbed mops and my brother grabbed something ask well, I think a broom. The girl and I started to beat the guys and the scene turned into a video game almost with how the guys were acting, like it was hard to hit them and take them down. Finally we beat them and I looked and saw my brother next to me confused and irritated. Idk if we went home or not after, I think so but I also woke up a little out of it.

I had a very, very interesting dream. It felt like I was in another lifetime. It was in the future, it wasn't now. And there was so much going on. I was like in this big ship, like a spaceship. And there was a lot of people there, and a lot of entertainment, and a lot of celebrities in the spaceship. And Sacha Baron Cohen had a crush on me. And I had to interview him, and every time he had to change his mustache. And I told him, why are you changing your mustache all the time? And he was pretending to be, Sacha Baron Cohen, pretending to be this rich, rich royal Arab guy. Like very rich royal, Dubai guy. And I didn't I didn't understand why they changed the mustache and every time I had to interview him I had to fix his mustache and he invited me to come with him to the future and be with him and he said everything that you want I will take care of you, everything that you wish for. And it was weird that this spaceship, there was a lot of entertainment and they were like dressing room with people changing costumes and everybody were in the entertainment industry. There were a lot of actors and dancers and movie stars there was George Colony, Brad Pitt and I sat with them and I felt like oh my in my dream I said to myself that I'm missing a very important part of my life, I need to be in the entertainment industry, there's a sign that I need to go back to be in the entertainment industry. And then after Sacha Baron Cohen pretending to be a royal rich man invited me. I didn't know if I should say yes or no.

Last night I had the most amazing dream. 1 was at work, but not work as it is today in the new office as a contractor, but in the old office building like when I was a salaried employee, who was a part of the EY family, with my own personal space, (this was the version of my job where I was the happiest). I wasn't doing anything, just going about my work, when I was approached by one of the managing partners, apparently they had read something I'd written or heard something I'd said during a meeting they wanted me to explain it further in a companywide conference call. 1 had something to do with Dietrich Bonhoeffer bringing together my seminary training with my real world work experience. It turned out this partner was part of the Bonhoeffer Society which probably explains why they understood the significance of what I had said. And now they asked me to be a part of an online discussion and explain my thoughts with staff from other offices. I went to my tube and sat down I was surrounded by laptops open with screens showing people from different offices, but not only this a group had gathered around my cube to hear this meeting as well. did my best to get through my thoughts with the man interviewing me from the main screen. He was a black man with a salt and pepper afro and a roundish pleasant face. I remember adjusting the screen and switching monitors so people could see and hear me properly as I shared my thoughts. There were constant questions from people standing around the cube, so I couldn't honestly tell you if I ever finished what I was trying to say in the interview, but they were all such good question coming from people who were truly engaged with my ideas. I knew that nobody was disappointed, least of all me. After this meeting an older woman approached me and asked if we could speak somewhere more private I said yes, and took her into the tax processing/reprographics room that is at the center of the office, the door is very close to my old desk. Less people walk through there. The first question out of her mouth is "if you could do anything you wanted and time and money were not an issue, what would that be?" I moved our location a couple of times, so I we could hear each other better, because I knew something amazing was about to happen and I wanted to hear what she was saying fully and wanted her to be able to hear me, 1 knew this was important, 1 was about to get some amazing lifechanging offer. All of my thoughts and ideas which I've had but never realized came flooding to my mind. She explained that I had never been a leader before, until now, but all of that was about to change, and I would have people who cared about my ideas helping me to make them happen because they believe in them and they believe in me. This dream is a picture of my ideal life, where 1 am seen, heard, understood, and respected. Where people think 1 matter - it is the exact opposite of my waking reality. I woke up feeling euphoric, wondering if life could ever be that good, and how long 1 could enjoy this feeling before the afterglow of my dream is sapped by the realities of my everyday existence.

NYC subway-I am trying to figure out which train to take. And I’m having trouble getting the ticket dispenser to work. And I’m asking someone and they are helping me. I have to walk down to another station the five instead of the three. So I start to walk, someone wants to give me some thing and is following me and I thank him, but I don’t want whatever it is. He’s trying to give me. He could be a bit of a creeper but maybe not and it’s all OK. I finally get to where I’m supposed to catch the train have more problems with the ticket dispenser and have someone else show me how to use it.. 2) snow policy- I wake up and there is a ton of snow on the porch in Bayfield and I think that the snow policy of going into the college won’t work. Because if it’s that bad for me, what about other people so I am calling. And I run into Tom and Walmart and tell him that he needs to be sensitive of other students. Then Gretchen knows of a woman who she can interview who’s Pakistani. We meet her and Gretchen interviews her. and I’m saying like get on with it. Gretchen is asking slow questions. The woman drives a big truck. She is really neat. Like a semi. And she is also pregnant and tells the story of almost getting stoned by another person and surviving. And somehow that makes sense with the snow argument. but Gretchen needs to write it all up and then the woman isn’t sure about having her name used in an interview.

I had to interview someone for a school project. First thing I remember is knocking on someones door. When they opened the door, I didn't see anyone. They did respond with "Hello?". So I said hello back. I started explaining why I was there but they stopped responding. I said "Hello?" again and suddenly the person I was speaking too steps out from behind the door. The person was very strange looking but kind of hypnotic. Their skin was kind of a metallic white/silver. Their eyes were large but squinted, kind of asian looking but they were kind of rectangular instead of round. They were wearing a niqab that was white, silver, tan, and a light rose color. Their look was very odd but I don't judge so I continued with "May I come in and interview you?" They said yes and their voice was also interesting. I couldn't tell if they were male or female but I leaned towards female based on their look. Once inside, we sat down at a table. The person lowered the part of the niqab that was covering the rest of their face, exposing their nose and mouth. Their nose and mouth were also large, like their eyes, but not in a odd unactrative way. Their facial harmony was great. I began asking questions. At one point after a few questions I kinda stared off behind the person while thinking about what I was saying. I wasn't trying to look for or at anything, was just lost in thought. The person looked behind them at where I was looking and firmly said "Hey get away from there!". At first I didn't see anyone but then noticed a girl in a hoodie in the kitchen slowly back up and said something like "okay sorry". I realized I recognized the girl as my ex. I didn't say anything to her, was just confused on why she was here. Strangely, the person (one I'm interviewing) wasn't much concerned afterwards that there was some girl in their house. We resumed the interview. After a couple more questions, my ex was suddenly behind me and started going off on the person. She was talking about a balloon that was intentionally flipped a certain way. The person remained silent. I was very confused and asked my ex what she was talking about. She explained something about a gender reveal and that the person had tampered with it so that the gender was revealed and no longer a surprise. I was still a little confused as I had no idea about a pregnancy and gender reveal balloon. I turn to look back at the person I'm interviewing but they're gone. Now in the center of the room is a large statue of the person. The statue person has something around their neck and is bleeding from the eyes. Their face is mangled. (The following is a bit hazy in my memory) I'm not sure why but suddenly we are under the impression that a child, or children, are in danger. I don't remember much here but I remember a part where we are still in the house with the statue and we hear kids crying, screaming, and other disturbing sounds such as gargling. There's also a couple disturbing images randomly flashed in front of my eyes. Again, don't quite remember here but there was also a part where there were kids in the house that were supposedly my ex's? Not sure but last thing I truly remember was leaving the house in search of help. There are a couple of other things I vaguely remember but not worth mentioning.

I was a teenager living in a neighborhood with nice white houses with pretty roofs and all-cut. Therapy didn't work. So my therapist sent me an address and I went to the address and it looked like a weird-looking office with a triangle laid around like the Illuminati with a glowing white door and somebody being taken to the back smiling and giggling. The man never came out so I was joking through the interview and they asked me questions and I asked them so questions about the program and they told me hunting and I said hunting what and he said hunting stuff so I said what like hunting people and this man looked at me and reached his hand through the hole as it turned black his face opened wide and he looked like a demon with 2 black eyes a long outstretched jaw and tried to grab me. I told him I was joking and he turned normal. I said something about the Illuminati he did it again so my interview was concluded, he said if I told anybody they would find me and kill me and I better keep my mouth shut and he pushed me outside in the chair so while my dad and his friend were in the car I put the chair on the lawn and all of a sudden I got knocked out with my dad and my dad’s friend and everything turned blue. I got home and we started to drive back home people looked at the car horrified laughing tapping on the window and we waved and just kept driving home everything was still blue the garden and everything like a dark blue we got in the car and the sight turned a light blue as we talked about gas stations we were driving and I realized I was a ghost and that I was in a video game then I woke up.

I was in my room packing for a trip. Left and got on a train. Exited and then was at a college campus. I felt nervous and confused and kept getting lost. I eventually found a tour group and joined them only to find two people I used to be friends with. One started comparing our lives and I didnt like that. We go on the tour and stop for an orientation event. I am very tired so I fall asleep. But then I get called on and told to pay attention. At the end of the event the person I was supposed to meet originally found me and in front of my former friends told me that my interview for a tenure track faculty position was this way and it made my former friends jealous and I felt good.

Dream

I dreamt I had an interview at a university to become a professor. In my waking life, I was a professor of English for twenty years. I drove to the university, which was in Ohio, where I grew up. In my waking life, I’ve been contemplating both teaching and moving to Ohio. The interview was just a casual discussion while the professor who interviewed me taught her class. I then had to go to another meeting with someone and when I arrived that lady wanted me to participate in a ménage a trois. I declined. I went back to my first interview, and noticed it was dark and foggy out. I asked my first interview professor, if she had parked behind the area where we were and she said she did and I asked if we could walk out together. In my dream this was at the University of Findlay. It seemed, however, that this professor who interviewed me was from the University of Toledo, where I attended school for my BA and MA. The professor who interviewed me seems familiar and bright a sense of peace to me. She was comfortable. I don’t know her though.
