Neglectful Dancing

By Amia

I was in a dance group with different other girls. There were three teams; Red, Yellow, and Black. I was on the black team. I was the co-leader of the group, along with this girl named Makenna. We tied during the vote of who got to be the actual leader but we worked out an agreement. Our dance room was separated from the other two teams. The way to get in there was through a little tunnel, usually during our little games. We had a dance teacher, the gym teacher off of Glee. She was very mean to us but we had to deal with it. She made us play a game so everyone got in their uniforms. It was Capture The Flag but you had to sneak in without the other team calling the teacher on you. Makenna and I said we'd go first/second, the team agreed. Makenna was going first. She said, "I'll go. If I don't come back in 5 minutes, come to spot me or tell me if the teacher is coming to their room." She dashed in Red's tunnel and grabbed the flag without the other team noticing, they were scouting the Yellow team's tunnel. Makenna wanted to test our loyalty so she stayed in the tunnel where nobody saw her to see if one of us would come for her. She waited 5 minutes and head back, clearly upset at us. I was up next! I go in Yellow's tunnel but Makenna didn't warn me that they were scouting the Black's tunnel next. They saw me come through and screamed, "TEACHER!". I grabbed the flag quickly and ran out the tunnel, the teacher didn't spot me at all but lied and said she did. I went back to our room and placed the flags down. We won! The teacher comes over to us and exclaims, "You cheated. I definitely saw you." She wasn't near the room yet and I was already gone. How? I said, "No, I was already gone when they yelled for you. Stop lying!" Our team agreed with me. She shook her head and started scolding us about cheating. She left the room. Our team didn't like her, she was always favoriting Yellow. We came up with a plan to ban her from the rooms. We didn't know how to. There was a computer screen with "Vote to Ban Teacher" but the teams would obviously click no and she'd kick us out of the group. We were confused. We found a CD with "File Report Against Teacher". If it was approved to ban her, we wouldn't need recognition from the other team! We filed the report and waited a day, the teacher didn't know what was happening. We made a mistake though. Our sound was on the computer and it read out her name! She came over to us and asked, "What're you guys doing?" Makenna clicked out of the tab. She replied, "We wanted to know your real name so we scanned the computer." The teacher didn't care so she left again, possibly to treat Yellow on their "win". We read through the report and they declined us. We didn't send a detailed enough post. We needed to do another one so we did. The teacher turns the power off right after we sent it, phew. She tells all the groups, "Today is Laser Tag!" (I didn't get to see this part, it skipped to the next day.) We checked the computer and hurray! The teacher had been banned due to neglect to students. Glad we recorded the incident of the cheating scandal. The other two teams come over and ask, "Where's our teacher?" We didn't know what to say. The Board of Administration comes to the room we're all crowded in and says, "Your teacher has been banned from these dance groups, we don't have a substitute. We have thought about it and decided to give Makenna the role of the teacher. She is the best dancer among you. Thank you, have a nice day." Makenna looks at me and says, "Sorry, I didn't know they'd give it to me." I smile at her and say, "It's fine. They're right! I'll still be the leader of the Black team." We give each other hugs, the other two teams are disgusted. They leave. They'll get over it eventually.

AI generated interpretation Your dream of being in a dance group and having a leadership role reflects your desire for control and authority in your waking life. The different teams and competition could symbolize different aspects of yourself or different areas of your life that you are trying to manage or balance. The teacher representing the authority figure in your dream may signify someone in your waking life who is critical and demanding, possibly a figure of authority such as a boss or a parent. The theme of cheating in the dream might reflect a fear of being perceived as dishonest or deceitful, or it could indicate a feeling of not meeting expectations and trying to find alternative ways to succeed. The desire to ban the teacher could suggest a need to break free from oppressive influences and assert your independence and autonomy. The resolution of the dream, where Makenna is appointed as the new leader and you continue leading the Black team, may indicate a sense of acceptance and teamwork, as well as a recognition of individual strengths and abilities. The fact that the other teams are initially disgruntled but eventually accept the decision could reflect a fear of conflict or rejection, but also a belief in the importance of standing up for what is right. Overall, this dream may suggest a desire for control, recognition, and collaboration in your life, as well as a need to address feelings of competition, deceit, and authority. It may be beneficial to reflect on these themes and consider how they relate to your waking life and personal relationships.
