The Campus Dream: When Your Inner Confidence Shows Up in a Bath Towel

I had SUCH a strange dream. I was walking around a campus of some school I wasn’t familiar with, clad only in a bath towel wrapped around my chest and sunglasses lol. I strangely felt so confident in that getup as well as if it were a very normal outfit to wear. No one else was dressed in such a way though, just me. I remember looking at my outfit and was like, “huh…” and then *shrugs* — you know how Regina George (in Mean Girls) wore her holey nipply tank top and was like whatEVs? Same type of energy lol.

I think I was looking around the campus trying to figure out where I needed to go. I had no idea what classes I had and thought maybe getting my schedule would help. So I decided to hit up the front desk to get some info.

The first person I encountered was in shock staring at my strange attire and so I turned to another person who was less horrified lol. This person helped me by dipping an ice cream bar that was designated for me into soft and gooey chocolate over and over again, slowly perfecting the shape of the outer layer through each iteration. I remember standing there watching them take their time to perfect their craft, really putting in the extra effort to get that perfect layer on. After observing for some time, I made a comment about how they’re paying exceptional attention to the details. They smiled back at me while looking quite proud of their work. I don’t even think I ate the ice cream though lol. I don’t remember what I did with it? I think I got distracted.

Someone else who stood out to me from behind the front desk decided to further assist me, seeing how I was looking around confused. They came around the desk and sat close to me for a discussion. I noticed that they looked incredibly well put together, super sharp, basically the opposite of whatever I had going on for an outfit lol. I remember looking directly at them and feeling some attraction. Oddly enough, I also noticed that the attraction was mutual. But right as I leaned in closer, at the last second, perhaps a centimeter away, they pulled away and said they had to get something for me that I needed, then they immediately walked away. I noticed all of my belongings had somehow dropped onto the floor without my knowing and I slowly picked them back up. That person came back to give me what I needed and that’s when I woke up. I was like wtf was that dream about lol.

I analyzed the dream with AI to figure out what it could’ve meant. AI interpreted the dream to be a reflection of my current life situation. It explained that I appear to be approaching my life with much more confidence (the strange attire) and that I’m much more comfortable with being vulnerable now. It also mentioned that perhaps my romantic detection levels might’ve leveled up somewhat, from kindergarten level to perhaps high school level??? I thought about it for a bit and could see the reasoning behind this interpretation. Considering that I was actually able to pick up on mutual attraction was a huge step given my track record, lol. Idk how many hearts I’ve broken in the past with my low self worth filter blocking any signs of attraction. Someone could’ve basically stood in front of me naked and confessed their love for me and I would’ve been like, “Thank you for sharing your heart with me! Oh dear, what happened to your clothes? Let’s go figure out how your clothes went missing and get you dressed!” Although I think this person gives me a run for my money as they seem just as dense as I was or worse? So… it was nice to find out that I might’ve made some improvements on that front… 🤔

While I don’t feel *that* confident at times, so confident that I can appear in public clad only in a bath towel and sunglasses, I definitely have been sharing quite vulnerably and so that interpretation about the dream being a reflection of the changes in my life does actually make a lot of sense to me. It was definitely strange feeling so confident in my dream in such an outfit.

The AI also explained that perhaps what the dream was trying to tell me is that I need to have some patience for the things that I want. Perhaps things need to “fall into place” first before next steps can happen, which makes sense to me. Divine timing, right??? Ergghhhh lol. This chaos baby is READY for action!!!!! 🤣 Anyway, what a strange dream!

Do you keep track of your dreams? If so, what interesting things have you learned about yourself? I’ve heard that dream journaling is great for learning more about what our subconscious is trying to communicate with us and I do believe it. I actually had a somewhat “prophetic” dream back when I first met my meditation teacher that told of the journey I would eventually have with her. Perhaps I’ll share that another time. Stay tuned 😉
