Dream of Running

The other night I had one of those dreams where I was with people I know in real life. This usually means that something is going on with them yet it's funny how I recognize two people in my dream this time and they are both Asian adoptees like myself! It's finally coming to me that I am facing my hidden issues that I kept burrying all these years I suppose.

I dreamed I was walking into some Casino house where several poker tables were in games with lots of men. I walked in with Joe Thompson and Jan Lyon (haven't been in touch with these guys for a while either) when my cell phone rang and somebody on the other line was chatting about nonsense then all of a sudden screamed "RUN! NOW!" It startled me to where I dropped the phone, the voice still chatting loud enough as I ran away. I turned around and noticed Jan was looking at me in a weird way as though I was crazy as I am running away. As I ran out of this building, I almost ran into men with guns as they were coming into the building to raid the place. I realized they were the authority busting the place but I was getting out in time. My adoptee 'friends' were still in the building but I didin't seem to be interested or concerned of what the fate is for them since they didn't follow me out. I didn't say anything to them, just ran. The voice on the phone gave me to cue that there was no time to explain, just run. Even after running out, I kept running in the street as though I was trying to really be in the clear of something.

My dream book states that dreaming of running by yourself indicates that I will outstrip my friends in the race for wealth and occupy a higher place in social life. Telephone in dreams means jealousy and rivalry but will overcome all evil influences. Sounds like I was being selfish in my dream by not caring what happens to others around me. Funny how dreams and reality can somehow be symbolic. I realize that I am going through a time where I need to take care of myself and no others. Sorry folks - I miss you all in this world but my sense of humor is on hold temporarily. Perhaps working long hours doesn't help matters.
