Dream Interpretation
Front-Ranger:
This dream seems simple but I think it is really quite deep. I see some unmet needs being presented here. The first thing that stands out is that you went to the Watering Hole, but you didn't receive any water! So, this says to me that your most fundamental needs aren't being met somehow.
The young woman sitting at the next table also had some needs to reach out to you in conversation but these were also unmet. Did she look something like the person in this photo, perhaps? The two women are contrasts. . .one has long dark hair and the other has short brown hair and light clothing. (Yes, they still call them pants suits.)
Then, you saw the manager and you wanted him to know about your unmet need for water. Were you reluctant to approach him about it? It frustrates me when I wake up just as the dream is getting to its essence, but when I think back about it, I can often decide how the dream will resolve itself.

I never thought about that!

Actually, that makes a lot of sense!

As a matter of fact, she did. (She looks sort of Native American.)

Good to know! ;D

I don't remember feeling that way. I think I woke up before I had the chance. :(
I forgot to mention that the manager was wearing a shirt that was patterned like on of those gingham table cloths--red and white squares. In reality he never wears anything that light, only dark colors.
I think you really nailed this one. Thank you!
(OT, but one reason I feel I would not have been reluctant to approach the manager is because IRL I have approached him about issues, mainly the sound from the piano room at the back of the bar, past the dining room, where people sing show tunes. A microphone and a loudspeaker are used, and sometimes the sound is so loud that it drowns out conversation all the way in the front of the bar. I have politely said something to the manager, but so far no change has been made. Jokingly, I once asked my friend the security chief if I would get in trouble if I went into the piano room and knocked over the speaker, and his response was, "I wouldn't care." ;D )

There are two other things I find interesting in this dream. The first is the two women. You expect the server to provide food and water, but she doesn't follow through with the water. The other woman offers conversation, which you don't want and don't think you need. And then there's the manager, who you know from experience will not follow through with the peace and quiet you want.
Then, there's the other room, from which disturbing noise drifts in to the quiet dining room. There, people are singing show tunes and enjoying loud camaraderie. You've chosen the dining room, but sometimes the attractions of the other room might beckon to you, maybe? And you've chosen the server over the other diner, but the server lets you down.
On a personal note, I went to an Oktoberfest in Lucerne with Adam and Jim Clark one time, and almost all of the guys were wearing those red and white checked shirts. It was very rowdy, with a band leading everyone in singing, toasts, big steins of beer, and much conversation with the others at the long table (even though we didn't speak Swiss or German). We all had a great time! But then returned to our reserved selves the next day. Jim even exchanged shirts with a guy who was with his girlfriend but she wasn't paying any attention to him. A bunch of Swiss guys tried on Adam's cowboy boots. It was a hoot!

Well, the point about the women seems interesting, but I'm not sure the point about the manager applies. In the dream nobody was singing show tunes loudly. This is something that happens in reality almost every Saturday night, but it did not occur in the dream. In the dream I was going to complain about the server for not bringing me water, but it seems I woke up before I could do that.
I'm not beckoned to join the people in the piano room to sing show tunes. For one thing, they're all theater queens who follow musicals like a religion. I don't know any musicals later than 1965. I was in the dining room because, well, I was having dinner.

Lee, I really enjoy reading your interpretations! You seem to be spot on.
They say that dreams represent your inner feelings and such, and in this dream Jeff wasn't getting needs met. Jeff, haven't you talked about your need to ramble about, but not being able to go, or feeling that you can go? And isn't one of the reasons you feel you can't go is that your father would need you, and you wouldn't be there for him?
