This one from last night. Only need enough sleep and it happens. Reminder to myself - be strict about going to bed early. ;)
I know there were some things going on before the part I remember, but, hey, I almost forgot the whole dream anyway, so I take what I get! :)
I was at some kind of office party, mingling with co-workers. Except most I don't know IRL. Some people were actually from my high school and so on. Several people flock around a computer where they see a demonstration of the new test program.
I'm standin in the hallway, chatting with others. We talk about the education we've finished before taking the job. As in real life I say I finished technical college. Somehow this seems to be a level 3. Others have sligthly less, but there are several who graduated from a research college. (IRL this makes a pay difference.) There seems to be a level 5 associated with it. I wonder for myself if my current skills would qualify me for a level 5 position. I come to the conclusion that currently they don't. (This level system is not used at my RL job.)
I decide to leave the happy round, as I intend to drive home to visit my mom's place. I remember from an earlier part of the dream that I have a dorm room here in the building where I put my stuff when I arrived. So I try to go back there. On the way out I meet a woman who is our team assistant and ask her if she would join me, but she say this time she will not.
I go up two flights of stairs. As I stand up there I first can only see two flights of stairs leading down from the landing, but no entrance to the level I am on and no stairs leading further upwards. I am puzzled. Convinced there must be one I have a strange change of perspective, as if I decide to look at it another way than I used to. There is a door now, I enter.
I walk through room without much lighting. I'm walking over a floor with white tiles. I have some overall perception of it, it is a one-step platform shaped like a diamond. The tiles form a diamond shape, there is at least another one ahead of me, but I have to step down and up to get there. On the other hand I cannot even see my next step from the in-body perspective. Intuitively I stop at the end of the platform without seeing the end and step off. I make it through that room.
The next room has weird architecture. The walls are sloped. But the really weird thing is that there are rectangular holes in the floor without any handrails. You could simply walk a few steps and drop down a floor (at least). It all indicates that the building is a structure of many layers/levels and of complex design, and that I'm close to the top (sloped walls like under a roof). The whole perspective makes me dizzy, as I'm not free from giddiness. I have to walk by one of the holes, and I touch the sloped wall with my left hand to steady myself and not get vertigo or something. I make it through that room, too.
The next room is kind of like a cathedral, but a modern one. It has really tall walls. As I come to an intersection, I turn left. On the right side there is a preacher waiting. He stands on a wooden platform behind railings and a lectern. I have the feeling that his role is to create an atmosphere, that he would read out something and within these halls it would create an interesting, impressive effect. He's just standing there.
I walk by to the end of the hall. The whole wall in front of me looks like it is built of huge, smokey glass cubes that are somewhat translucent. They let through many dim lights of different colors. I open the door. I instantly think that this is not my exit, I expect to see a chapel of sorts. Instead I see several silvery metal caskets standing around. I close the door again and turn back.
I shortly contemplate to ask the preacher for directions but decide not to. As I try to evade him two people walk by the way I originally came in from, heading in the straight direction. They wear a white cloth over black cloth like I've seen with Catholic acolytes. The preacher, I think, was all in black. He now runs towards them to catch up with them, it seems.
The next memory I'm not sure about, but I have vague recall of a dark grey ball/sphere being thrown by the preacher, I think towards me. I see him in facing me throwing something as he runs by, reminds of passing a ball in midrun as in handball or basketball, maybe.
I think I decide to go the way of the acolytes, but that's all I recall.
The original scene repeats the symbol "co-workers" (people who working together - for spiritual development). There's also a reference to "preparing for a test" when the "test tool" is presented, which runs on a computer, which could indicate a simulation.
The levels of college education seem to be a symbol for what kind of learning/lessons one has "graduated" from, so I am in the company (pardon the pun, but I think it was intended) of people of similar and superior learning. The numbers could refer to energy bodies, and I give myself an assessment where I am now, and where I am not. Possibly also about the future potential. I initially thought about soul age (which is equivalent to the term "learning/lessons one has graduated from") here, too.
I find it funny that the woman is a "team assistant." I have to admit it's my company's term for secretary, but even there they do a lot of organizing and keeping track of things. I think what's important here is the term, which is to be taken literal. This time I have to leave without my team assistant, which could mean some kind of challenge is afoot.
The next three things that happen do indeed feel like challenges. I go upstairs and find no door, and the door only "appears" after I change the way I perceive things. I would say some sort of inner sense must have become active here. Of course it would have also been possible I manifested the door, but I remember a weird change of perspective. At several times in the dream perspectives outside of myself seem to have been available to me, including seeing the landing with the two stairs leading down from above.
Walking through the dark-ish room is the next challenge, where I have to rely on my intuition not to stumble. Even though I cannot see my next step in front of me I know how the whole scene (without me) looks from above.
In the third room I have to deal with a challenging perspective that makes me dizzy. Maybe that can be interpreted aside from the visual itself "dealing with challenging (dizzying) perspectives." I steady myself and pass through this as well. So, so far I have dealt with "changing my own perspective," "relying on my intuition" and "dealing with challenging perspectives."
I wonder if the glass cubes in the cathedral would have been more translucent if I would have been more clear or lucid. The dim lights looked beautiful, though.
That's not the first time where I have dreamed of caskets. They seem to be some kind of marker of where I am.
Preacher and acolytes seem to denote different levels of being. The job of the preacher seems to have been interwoven with the locale itself, that's why I thought he was there to give the place atmosphere. BTW, I wondered why he did not talk to the acolytes, nothing was said, not even a "Hey, wait for me."
As so often when I encounter someone whom in hindsight as a guide or another helpful being my reflex is to evade them. In another dream I did the same with a forest ranger.
I think the ball was a ROTE being thrown, however I have no recall of receiving any information. It was thrown like "Hey, catch!" Maybe that's the reason why I perceived no talking - wrong expectation about the form of communication happening there. Maybe the dark grey color meant that I had trouble understanding it - like something opaque (to me).
