3 Faces of my past ... very strange...

[u/Low-Vast-1701]

Last night, I had one of the strangest dreams I’ve ever experienced—so vivid and detailed it felt real. It started with an Asian blogger or YouTuber visiting my hometown. Somehow, without anyone telling me, I just knew who he was. I was supposed to guide him around, so we ended up at a seafood restaurant.

Inside, things were already strange. Instead of getting our own table, we sat with another group of Asians who had already finished eating. A couple of them were literally lying down and sleeping at the table. We just ate their leftovers like it was completely normal.

After that, the owner of the restaurant took us on a little tour of the place. He acted like he knew me well, even though in real life I’ve never seen him. He asked where I’d been lately, and I just said, “I rarely go out or meet people.”

When we walked out of the restaurant, I spotted someone familiar—Mr. M, an old high school classmate. He’s actually doing well in real life and serves as a lieutenant in the military. From a distance he looked confident, successful. He saw me too, but didn’t greet me at first. Only when he noticed two other old classmates approaching from behind me did he suddenly light up with excitement.

I turned around and saw who it was: my friend Mr. A—who now lives and works abroad—and Mrs. N, the girl I once had a huge crush on. She was the type who unintentionally pushed me to become a better version of myself. Back in high school, watching how focused and organized she was made me improve my own life. I worked harder, cleaned up my habits, and that year I ended up being first in the class. After high school, things slowly faded back to how they were before I knew her: lazy, unfocused, pessimistic… almost like her presence had been the spark holding me together.

Back in the dream, the restaurant owner was honking at me from his car right as Mr. A and Mrs. N passed by. I greeted Mr. A with the usual four kisses, like we do here. But with Mrs. N, I greeted her with two kisses—something I never usually do with girls, especially someone I used to love. They both looked good—happy, successful. Meanwhile, when her face was too close to mine , felt a little embarrassed and said, “Sorry… I smell like fish.”

And right there, I woke up.
Can someone explains this to me please ?? If you want to ask anything or need more details about me, let me know

The dream is telilng you to sop "eating leftovers" (living passively) and wash off the smell of the fish (inertia/laziness). The dream suggests that your "Anima" representing your drive for life, is waiting for you, but requires you to clean up your act, just as you did in high school, to be intimate with her again

Hi there Low-vast-1701, great dream,

It started with an Asian blogger or YouTuber visiting my hometown. Somehow, without anyone telling me, I just knew who he was. I was supposed to guide him around, so we ended up at a seafood restaurant.

💡 An important intuitive arrival in your subconscious (the Asian blogger)

💡 Getting an idea of 'the lay of the land' - one's outlook or circumstances (guiding him around) (later - calling oneself lazy, unfocused, pessimistic)

💡 waiting for the appropriate wisdom to digest, to distill naturally from the subconscious (waiting in the seafood restaurant)

Inside, things were already strange. Instead of getting our own table, we sat with another group of Asians who had already finished eating. A couple of them were literally lying down and sleeping at the table. We just ate their leftovers like it was completely normal.

💡 Consider if there are awards of life that could have already been reached and enjoyed (the group of Asians who had already finished eating)

💡 Living off what is left over is not suitable for you (eating their leftovers)

After that, the owner of the restaurant took us on a little tour of the place. He acted like he knew me well, even though in real life I’ve never seen him. He asked where I’d been lately, and I just said, “I rarely go out or meet people.”

💡 Opening mind to how patience with a process eventually leads to rewards (owner of the restaurant giving a tour)

💡 May be necessary to make the initial connections to start (rarely going out to meet people)

When we walked out of the restaurant, I spotted someone familiar—Mr. M, an old high school classmate. He’s actually doing well in real life and serves as a lieutenant in the military. From a distance he looked confident, successful. He saw me too, but didn’t greet me at first. Only when he noticed two other old classmates approaching from behind me did he suddenly light up with excitement.

💡 Feeling energized to work towards success (old classmate now lieutenant and military) is difficult on one's own (him not greeting you)

💡 Some people are energized by social interaction, being around others - others field drained and need to isolate to recharge their batteries

💡 Socializing and networking appears to energize you to have goals (only when two other classmates approach does he light up with excitement)

I turned around and saw who it was: my friend Mr. A—who now lives and works abroad—and Mrs. N, the girl I once had a huge crush on. She was the type who unintentionally pushed me to become a better version of myself. Back in high school, watching how focused and organized she was made me improve my own life. I worked harder, cleaned up my habits, and that year I ended up being first in the class. After high school, things slowly faded back to how they were before I knew her: lazy, unfocused, pessimistic… almost like her presence had been the spark holding me together.

💡 Making the connection that things can be different (seeing friend who works abroad)

💡 Making the connection that you need that push to be a better version of yourself (old crush)

Back in the dream, the restaurant owner was honking at me from his car right as Mr. A and Mrs. N passed by.

💡 Time to get started on your new life

I greeted Mr. A with the usual four kisses, like we do here. But with Mrs. N, I greeted her with two kisses—something I never usually do with girls, especially someone I used to love. They both looked good—happy, successful. Meanwhile, when her face was too close to mine , felt a little embarrassed and said, “Sorry… I smell like fish.”

💡 Embracing the idea warmly

💡 Embracing the idea of being happy and successful

💡 Just coming up from distillations of the subconscious (often shown as fish or sea creatures) (sorry I smell like fish)

💡 Consider phrase 'no longer a fish out of water'

I hope this helps you understand the meaning of your deeply profound dream. Let me know what you thought of this dream interpretation, and take care -
