Dream Interpretation

You're not supposed to try to outrun one of those things, yet that's exactly what we tried to do. The administrator and I, and a number of other people, squeezed into a very small automobile and drove away from campus. The administrator was driving; somehow his clothing had changed from a dark gray suit to a polo shirt and Dockers.

Putting on my amateur pop psychologist hat (a beanie, I suppose) I would like to postulate that you are reliving in your dream your journey through life thus far from your college graduation. You ventured out into the scary world, surrounded by strangers and the occasional authoritarian figure. When you started out, bosses and such used to wear suits, but times have changed and they now wear polo shirts and Dockers.

Looking to the east--I don't know why I know it was the east, it just was--I saw one pass behind an old farmhouse, and the house somehow immediately burst into flames!

The east represents the future. Looking to the future, you see the old agrarian lifestyle going literally up in flames, or at least you fear that is what will happen.

Then we all got back into the car to drive back to campus. On the way, the driver missed a sharp curve in the road and drove through a fence and into the farmyard of an Amish farm. Some Amish children came and spoke to us; I rolled down the car window and spoke to a little boy, and I remember thinking that someone in the family must have "married out" of the Amish faith, because this little boy looked Hispanic in features and skin tone. The children told us that we would be in trouble for damaging the fence, but then a young woman came out of the farmhouse and told us that everything would be all right.

Maybe your mother and the other two women in your dream are roughly the same, or serve the same purpose. Watching over you, guiding you, reassuring you in your scary journey. I'm curious as to what you said to the Amish boy?

I don't remember. :(
Funny that "east" should represent the future. I should have thought that "west" would represent the future.

What do you think you might have said to him? Hello, sonny? Oops, I'm sorry? Can you tell me the way to San Jose? ;)
I can see your point of view about east/west, but east is where the sun comes up and where tomorrow is already happening.

I just don't know. Watching him is like watching TV with the sound off, and I can't read lips. :(

That's an interesting take on it. :)
"After all, tomorrow is another day!" ;D

I took it the same way, sun rises in the east (new beginning) and sets in the west (an ending)
