Fired and married

Date: 12/10/2024

Very odd dream. Once again, I was at my last job in the debt collection company, and as in real life, I was also fired in my dream and had No interaction with Becky the boss. Scene kept changing from being at work (in a totally different office arrangement) to being a bride at a cheap wedding. When at work, I was making my rounds, saying goodbye to people, as it was my last day there. I couldn’t wait to leave that damn place. People kept approaching me, as if I was someone famous. It felt really odd to be so popular. Everyone wanted something from me, it seemed. Though some gave me business cards to apply at their company’s website. I was grateful, but as in real life, not excited about the type of job, just settling to get a job to keep surviving. One of the business cards somehow had MY email address on it. Upon further review, it was nearly handwritten, as if for a future appointment. Other people wanted me to give them a good word for their business and gave me their business cards, thinking I had some sort of influence. Ha! As if. But I patiently let them give their talking points. Some I told straight away that what they were selling was above my head and they should contact the owner who makes those decisions. I was thinking that sooner or later, one of them would admit he had a crush on me. And sure enough, it was someone much younger and shorter than me. And I’m already short! I kindly turned him down. I lied and said I had a boyfriend, but he’d be happy to know others found me attractive. The more I wanted to leave, the more people approached me. I moved to a bathroom stall, hoping that’ll deter them. Nope, they were still drawn to me. Finally, the crowd thinned out. The scene changed to a hotel event room, where it seemed I had just gotten married. But I wasn’t in a wedding gown and whoever my groom was, didn’t appear in my dream. It was toward the end of the event and I was making my rounds, saying goodbye to folks. I made a bee-line to my college friends. They all congratulated me and said they had a good time, commenting how unique the experience was. Everyone was smiling. I went to another area, where it seemed to be a combination of a table and an indoor newspaper stand selling snacks. One or two other college friends were there, too. Whoever it was commented she liked the thank you gift. That confused me because we didn’t splurge for any such expense. I simply waved and smiled to acknowledge her gratitude. On my way out, I saw Jerry. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He lost a lot of weight and was back down to his college weight, easily 100 pounds lighter. He gave me his usual long and comforting hug, rocking back and forth. I passed table with college friends once more, and just about everyone had left. Dream ends.
