What are director dreams about?

I am not sure if I was aware that I was dreaming but I knew non of what was happening was real.

In my dream their were three people and non of them where me. I felt like I was directing them. What was happening felt like unimportant and over dramatic scene.

One of the three people was a dark haired women, she was the main character. And another person was just Robbert Pattinson, which told me that this movie was some indie bs, which might explain the lack of other characters since the local seemed to be expensive. And then their was a third man who can’t remember.

And I kept thinking those actors are really good. The lines felt dramatic but the actors were given it their all.

My theory is that cause I have been applying to a few jobs in the entertainment industry(mostly cause I live in the LA area & a lot of entertainment based companies are nearby)might be the reason that I dreamed I was a director

Hello! My mother passed away Thanksgiving day 2017. Recently I was awaiting admission into my schools Nursing program but I found another track of Respiratory Therapy that peaked my interest and was thinking of applying. Last night in my dream my fiancé and I were eating at a steakhouse. His family (mom, sister, grandma and godmother) were there and my grandma, niece and little cousin was there but not my older sister. It was an all you can eat steakhouse but I had ordered pasta. However, I decided I wanted steak as well so I got up to go get some. There was a lady (I would like to mention the lady was the Nursing departments director at my school) and she arguing with the chef (who’s face is blurry in appearance) advising he had “burnt” the steak (it was well-done) I told him I’d take it but he told me to meet him on the side because he couldn’t give a plate full of steak through the serving area as it was limited. I go to the side and wait for the chef and there is a machine that employees use to clock in/out. I see a woman that favors my mom like exact face but body was a little slimmer. I am saying “mom, oh my gosh mom is it you”? However, she is operating as if she can’t hear me or anyone around her like she’s a ghost. She reaches in her backpack and gets her time card to clock out but she also drops an envelope. I bend down to pick it up and it reads “congratulations you’ve been accepted” it has my schools name on the letterhead. I believe it said Respiratory Therapy program but it may have said Nursing. I leap for joy with tears and my fiancé, his family and my family come rushing towards me and ask “what happened”? I tell them that I’ve been accepted into my program. They ask how did I get the letter. I told them my mom dropped it. Obviously they look at me like I’m crazy because my mom is deceased. I look ahead and my mom looks back and smiles at me before she fades away. I would like mention throughout the dream there were little signs like a song she played for me as a little girl called “I Hope You Dance”. Also the place I went into the get my dress for the dinner smelled exactly like a perfume she would wear. Can anyone tell me what this means? Did my mom come and visit me to tell me to apply for the Respiratory Therapy program?

How can we be the Director and the Public at the same time?

This is a throwaway just in case. I have to document this somewhere. For a little background I’m 21 years old, I say that because in my dream I was back in high school. I haven’t been back in at least 3-4 years. I was sitting in the cafeteria with the same people I always sat with IRL. But one friend in particular, I’ll refer to him as Z, was the main person I was talking to in this dream. For even more background Z’s father was the Athletic Director for the school. So I saw him regularly around school and after school. In this dream I see Z’s father walking around with boxes like he was moving stuff from his office, so I turn to Z and ask if his dad is going somewhere else for a job, he turns to me and says, “Yeah, he is leaving us.” Then I wake up. A couple hours pass this morning like any regular morning. I’m scrolling through social media and I see that Z’s father passed away suddenly in his sleep overnight. Keep in mind, I haven’t seen or talked to either Z or his father in almost 4 years. But the one time he shows up in my dream, I find out the next morning he passed away and the last thing I heard in my dream was “He is leaving us.” I don’t know if this means anything, that’s why I’m posting this here. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t a little scared. If anyone has any ideas or can explain this to me I am open to all feedback. I find this so weird.

TLDR: Had a dream about a person I haven’t seen or talked to in 4 years for the first time, only to wake up and see they passed away overnight.

I'm male, but I’ve dreamt that I’m a female researcher in some sort of secret underground base. I am not the highest ranking researcher but I do remember being very important to the project. The experiments that take place there seem to be aimed at reviving the dead. Apparently I’m experiencing a flashback or telling the story to some official after things went wrong at the base. I am feeling guilt, responsibility and apprehension about the situation.

I remember hurrying to make it to the start of my shift on the base, running to the entrance which on the surface is masked as an industrial warehouse, with men in work jumpers idly hauling cargo boxes around.

The base itself had a small lobby with elevators and a receptionist desk; in this area, the base director’s office is located. The office is a small but well furnished room, and I remember that the base director is male and is my partner, whether a husband or a boyfriend.

Then there are corridors, which are lined with metal panels and have a dark, oppressive feel. In these corridors, there are several fish tanks holding large fish; apparently, the revival experiments are tried first on the fish. In one large tank, attached to the ceiling with chains, there are fish that readily jump out of water if I pass nearby. A passing researcher asked how I got the fish to react like that, the answer to which I didn’t know. Also apparently some of these fish are used in base kitchens, because next to the tank is another one filled with fish and mushroom soup. Apparently I like that soup a lot because I just reach in and grab a mushroom and some chunks of meat to eat with delight.

Next area is researchers’ offices, which is a room filled with cramped cubicles that serve as offices. There’s only desks in there with computers and some personal effects, like a kids’ paper notebook with cute stickers on it that a researcher stuck behind his computer screen. My office is also there. A couple of researchers are discussing something in hushed tones in this area.

Next area is the so-called “Dumping Room”, a twisting path of faceless mechanical equipment sheds in a room completely covered in pale blue ceramic tiles, like in a hospital. In places large, black, plastic conduits pass from ceiling to the floor in this room. I don’t know what any of these are for. Also in this area is the office of some researcher named Boyce (note: I don't know anyone named Boyce IRL), whom I’m trying really hard to avoid because I am scared of him.

Next I remember arguing in a hushed whisper with the base director (my partner), trying to persuade him to postpone the experiment. I argue that the amount of energy needed for revival is too great and only possible if he installed a nuclear reactor in the base. Then I accuse him of doing just that without telling anyone. The boss is evasive at that.

After that, I am performing an experiment. A male cadaver is strapped to a gurney, connected to all sorts of equipment. Several other researchers are around. When we speak around the corpse, the monitors detect activity in its neural auditory pathways. This means that the corpse’s neural system has been revived, but not much else: it’s “alive” and "hears" us but is completely still and is unable to react.

Then the dream ends.
