Dreamcatcher: Hotel casino again!

Hotel casino again!

I'm in an elevator on the way back to my room, it's kind of crowded. Some skinny little kid and his friend try to pick a fight. I get confrontational: "do you enjoy picking fights? what do you enjoy more, the pickin or the fightin?" to which he responds "the fighting." he swings, but I catch him by the wrist and restrain him. we end up passing my floor, and for some reason someone had pushed the 68th floor button. I say "this won't work" and i push 49.

I get out and instead of getting another elevator to go down to my floor (18) I see that there is a whole entertainment level on level 48 that is visible from the elevator tower on 49. you could see a HUGE pool with people playing in it, and to one side there was an arcade and to the other side a casino.

there's three sets of larger than life revolving doors, the two to the right have rugs that are folded/caught under them, but the one to the far left had someone moving through it. So I go through that one.

I also remember seeing some sort of record of something where it was like a kiss that I thought was not seen, was caught on camera. we were standing in a group atop a sand dune. it was my friend, B. it felt like that was the end of a journey. but then when I saw the record playing in some public place, I almost felt like my privacy had been violated, but at the same time it was a combination of embarrassment and pride. -- we were also looking at photos from that 'bygone' era and somehow I had long, gravity-defying, semi-curly hair.

back to the hotel/casino. on the 48th floor I run into Jason & Jeff who are going to the arcade. I say hi, but then head my own way.

I end up playing this weird coin-pusher style game. I end up winning btw. 40k & 60k in these coins called "Yin." I see the guy across from me leave his station and a fraction of his coins behind. This is while I'm collecting my coins and just putting them in my pockets. I see that there are paper and plastic bags and I grab a paper one, but it has holes in the bottom. and as I figure out that that won't work, someone goes up to my station and I say "hey, that's mine." and they say oh okay, then start to walk away, but when I look at my station, they had emptied it. they are still within shouting distance so I yell "hey!" that's mine, give it back. and they pull it tightly close to themselves. I say "you wanna look at the f*ckin cameras?" and he makes the facial expression that says "you got me." and then hands over the bag. he departs saying something like... "you know that's only like $3,000... I'll just get someone else, this happens all the time."

So I start walking out of there, and I bump into some people that I had only met in dreams before. Dressed in pirate/gypsy costumery. Apparently they worked there. I said that the last time we had met was in Ohio. And he responded "oh, you don't know about the Indiana, Illinois, Ohio circuit? walk with me and I'll explain."

and then I woke up.

Meaning of Dreams

All dwelling places generally represent the dreamer's psychological, emotional, or spiritual condition. The dream may reflect a current reality, issue, or dilemma and attempt to bring the dreamer into greater self-awareness. Because a hotel is a transitory dwelling, it suggests a time away from one's responsibilities or routine. As a dream symbol it could reflect a need for rest and reflection. Depending on the details of the dream, specific information can be ascertained. For example, if the hotel is luxurious it suggests prosperity and positive decision-making. However, if the hotel is rundown and inadequate, it may reflect a time of uneasiness and depravation. Whether the hotel in your dream represented a retreat or escapism is for you to determine by examining your current daily reality. Finally, a hotel may refer to a temporary stage in life or be a form of compensation with which the dreamer eases the anxiety and stress experienced during the day.
