Here it is, my first dream interpretation. I figured I would give a description of the dream, talk about any background info that may be important to know and then offer an interpretation of what I think the dream means.
The dream: At work, it was my job to move our Miami Dolphins paraphernalia for the big upcoming move. A few cheerleaders came into the office to teach us cheers, and I joined in, though had trouble actually remembering them. I met up with P. and told him about the Dolphins stuff. I was also jealous of the fact that he and his girlfriend are still together.
Background: My Dolphins-loving boyfriend and I recently broke up and I have been having trouble coping with it. At work, we really are planning on moving offices and we're all responsible for moving something. P. is a friend of mine, we dated briefly a couple of years ago before breaking up because I moved away. We stayed friends, though there has been some weird tension between us. He started dating his girlfriend at more or less the same time I started dating my boyfriend. As far as I know, they're still together.
The interpretation: I'm not too sure what dreams are, exactly, but sometimes they're just re-living things going on in real life. I think this was one of those times. We really have been getting ready to move at work, and while I'm not jealous of P's girlfriend, it has struck me as shocking that they outlasted me and my boyfriend. (That's mean, I know, but they're a lot younger than us and we had talked about marriage and moving in together and kids, so...yeah, I thought we were gonna last.) The Dolphins stuff is a little confusing, because I'm not a football fan, and my job doesn't have anything to do with sports. Honestly, I don't think there's a hidden meaning here - I think about K (my former boyfriend) a lot so it was bound to creep into my dreams.
The cheerleaders are a little strange, but according to this site, seeing cheerleaders in your dream symbolizes competition and triumph. In my case, though, I was having trouble learning the cheers despite my best efforts. Inneresting...
The bottom line: I'm having trouble getting back into the swing of things since the break-up. I'm trying to, I want to, but I'm just not there yet. The Dolphins stuff was there to provide a little context for the source of my troubles. The stuff with P. and the move is based on my working-life experiences and thoughts and aren't as relevant as the cheerleaders.
