I dreamt that I was in high school again, and I was trying to get to my class. I went into the entrance in the middle of the building that was marked for the middle schoolers thinking I would just go down the hall to my class. I tried to walk down the hall but there were a lot of people in the hallway. A guy in a red shirt said ' stop threatening my sister!' I tried to explain to him that I was just trying to get down the hallway, but he didnt listen and eventually pushed me out of the door. I then walked to the end of the building into the entrance marked for the high schoolers (10, 11 12th graders) and there were not many people in that hallway. As I walked down the hall there were vending machines - a couple were marked with the name of a former friend (things did not work out with us). All of the ice cream sandwiches in his vending machines was melted and in a puddle on the floor. The machines had shut off or broke sometime during the night. I kept walking past the machines. At the end of the dream, a friend of his was calling him in their cell telling him ' Hey -all of the ice cream product in these machines is wasted and there is a huge mess here' . I remember thinking ' I am glad that is not my mess to clean up' as i continued walking down the hallway.
This dream speaks of a season that you are in where you are having to "re-learn" some things that you have already walked through in the past. As you walk back through some of the issues that God is wanting to deal with, He is going to reveal to you that what you thought was misunderstood and cold was really a mess that you did not have responsibility to "clean up" and you need to let it go and move forward.
Thank you!
Hello Noelle - I am a trainee taking the Dream Stories Interpretation Mentoring class and I am interpreting your dream to complete one of my assignments.
It appears that you may have encountered bullying and broken relationships in your middle and high school years. (The angry guy wearing the red shirt was a bully.) God is saying that he would like to melt the ‘chill’ that you have experienced with your friend. Even though you were glad it was not your mess to clean up, it DOES need to be cleaned up. I believe that ‘his friend’ represents the Lord, who is available and willing to help him clean up the mess = messy relationship(s). The fact that you walked past the machines several times means you still care about this situation. Ask Jesus to ‘fix the machine’ and help clean up the mess that resulted because of the broken relationship. Thank you for letting me interpret your dream, Noelle!

@Jody Abboud Good insight on this dream. Two approaches can be taken to this - mine was to be general and allow the dreamer to figure out what the mess related to and yours to address it more specifically. I don't necessarily think that one is better than the other. Due to length of time it has been since this dream was posted (2018) it is unlikely that we will get additional feedback from the dreamer. This is not a problem but it is helpful to choose from the pinned posts that are the most current so we have more of a possibility of hearing from the dreamer themself.
Thanks for the feedback, Michael. I also learned from your interpretation about how being in a school might mean that some 're-learning' might be going on. Wow, I did not notice that date! I will pay more attention to that going forward.
