It was strange becuase I told myself that I would only be spending 4 hours on certain days at prison and then go home. I even saw my boss from work in the dream, and that gave me a clue that I also work as a busperson 4 hours on certian days.

Then I saw a whole bunch of kids my age and some people that I knew who were all in prison with me. We had a cafeteria, place to talk, and a church which I remember this girl telling me how much she liked, and then she was telling me how the priest was screaming about Iraq being very wrong and bad. I was about to argue with her, and say it wasn't their fault alone, that they were living badly, but then I got dumbfounded and didn't say anything at all.

Everytime I was outside I think I was playing basketball and this car kept trying to scare me back into the building.

Then there was this work-room and everybody was in there playing around. It didn't feel like a prison, but at the time I was feeling how it was very real, and then thinking that when I would finally get out, the information would be in my permanent records and how everybody would know that I was in prison and did really bad in school.

Then the dream ended, what does it really mean?

What has happened within the last couple of days or so that had/has you feeling limited, guilty, or not adequate?

This dream is interesting because it seems that many facets of your life are represented - job, religion/spirituality, recreation, school. From the dream it would seem that you do not particularly like work, you question religious dogma, you feel you are being kept from enjoying yourself, and you feel that perhaps you are "playing around" when you should be "working", or does it seem like everyone ELSE is playing around while you are trying to work?

This dream has a lot to do with transition. The numbers 3 and 4, together especially, suggest this by symbolizing transition/change and growth. "From three emerges the one as the fourth" (or something like that) - this is an alchemical formula that indicates BECOMING, or the process of the development of Self, and I think this is an appropriate description of the energies behind this dream.

So, what is the story?

Does any of this strike a chord?
