I am a believer that almost all dreams have some sort of significance behind them and I am struggling to find the significance of this one. There is a girl at my college that I have began to develop feelings for. She is very intelligent and is always a blast to be around. We hang out almost everyday, since we are both tutors. However, we stay after our work is done as well, so we aren't just interacting due to our work. Anyway, I digress, now to get into the dream.
This girl and I were walking through a store together. I'm not sure what store, but there were a lot of clothes. She was checking out different things while I followed behind her. Suddenly, I noticed she swapped her bag out for a nicer one that was on a shelf. I thought maybe she was just seeing if she liked how it felt and looked, but we kept walking. Then it was a jacket and a pair of pants. I was very confused.
As we were coming to the exit of the store, she said something along the lines of, "Alright, let's go." I followed her out of the store, but she still had all the things that I thought she was just trying out. I questioned her about it, to which she replied by saying, "They won't notice," or something similar to that. We continued to walk to her car, but something didn't sit right with me.
Right as we got to the car and were about to hop in, a cop car pulls up right behind the car. Then another one comes and another. I'm not sure of exactly how many cops there were, but there were a lot for some reason. They arrested her for stealing the clothes and I must've went into a panic or something because, even though they weren't after me, I started running away, as if wanting to believe it wasn't real, that this wasn't happening.
From this point on, I'm not sure how significant the events of the dream are, but I'll briefly go over it.
I ended up running into a friend that I made at the college and he was comforting me and allowed me to come to his home. I stayed there a little until I eventually left and went to my grandparents house. My grandparents weren't home, but my brother was there for some reason. We hung out with each other until I heard police sirens outside of the house. I went to check and I saw the police car that my crush was sitting in. I began to feel very sad. Then, we made eye contact with each other. I reached out my hand, not wanting her to go away, while she was waving goodbye to me, the same way she waves to me every day that we see each other, as the police car was driving away.
That is all I remember from the dream. I'm not sure if there was anything after that, but if there was, it probably wasn't that important. So yeah, if anybody has any idea of what this dream could possibly mean, I would love to hear it. I haven't had a dream effect me as much as this one has in a long time. And if you don't know what it could mean, then I at least hope you had a good time reading it. Have a great rest of your day and thank you for any replies and upvotes!
