What are possible meanings for dreams of dismissals?

The meaning of the word “dismissal” cuts three ways that can be used interchangeably to create symbolism. One, dismissed means fired from a job or position. Two, it means sent away. Three, it means to be treated as unworthy of serious consideration. A dream can use one sense of the word to mean another. For example, to be dismissed by a captain in a dream can mean that a supervisor or teacher dismisses your ideas.

To dream about dismissal from a job can reflect fear it really could happen, especially if you have reason to think so. The job you’re dismissed from is not necessarily depicted directly in the dream. For example, a mayor can symbolize a job in public relations, and losing a mayoral election can symbolize losing the job. See: Fear, Jobs

However, usually the theme of dismissal is symbolism and quite often it connects with the feeling of failing to measure up or make the grade. It can reflect fear that people are conspiring against you.

Dismissal can symbolize fear of separation, and the idea of separation applies broadly, not just to work. For example, dismissal can symbolize breaking up with someone you’ve been dating. See: Break ups

Dismissal can connect with fear of financial loss. Losing your job is a financial loss. It can symbolize related ideas, such as the value of your home dropping. Something you count on for financial security is not living up to expectation. See: Unemployment

I wanna go back to sleep after a horror-game like nightmare

It’s almost 7 AM but i’ve been up since around 6:30 and this nightmare makes me scared to sleep lol
So FNAF security breach released recently and all of my friends love it, so i naturally learned and saw gameplay and all of that. I got a little spooked after revisiting the old games bc of golden freddy, and now the golden eyes of glamrock freddy + the sound of him running to you.
My nightmare was basically a hide-if-you-can kind of deal. Me and many other were constantly running and hiding in a mall. If he saw you, he chased you until you either got out of sight or you were presumably dead. And anything could cause being seen. I ofc kept getting caught, and there was so much fear with existing in this stream. Even after a dismissal, I turned on my phone after leaving the mall and he came back to chase me even faster before I woke up.

Not sure why this happened… nor do I think I wanna know. I wanna go back to sleep.

A dream that was cut off too early

This is a kinda weird dream that I had months ago but here it goes

I was at my Elementary School (not sure why even though I am a High School student), time was 12 noon and it was dismissal time. While I was at the school gate I saw a girl, a beautiful girl, she had short white curly hair with rainbow tips. I don't know her but I do know that she is also a student at the school. After a while she noticed me staring at her but I was quick enough to get away.

Leaving the school and entering the "park" (its the school playground really) to meet with some friends. While waiting, I saw her walk by the fence of the "park" but she doesn't see me and to avoid being noticed I tried to turn away but I was too late and she noticed me and walked faster then I wondered, "Why did she walked faster?". After 20 or 30 minutes or so, I noticed that my friends that I was supposed to meet never came. And so I just stood up, and walked to get home however as I stood up I saw the girl again leaving the "park" but after leaving the "park" I saw two men in black suit and ties follow her. In my concern, I started to follow them as well. She went to an alleyway and each turn she takes she walks faster, as she gets faster, the men following her also gets faster. She got so fast to the point that we were almost running and eventually outrunning me. After they take a turn and leave my line of sight, I sprinted to catch up only to see her standing with her clothes changed from our school uniform and the two men knocked out with bruises all over their bodies. She was shocked when she saw me and ran away, I quickly ran to follow her and after 40 minutes or so, we reached... a ship pier with a lot of containers and cargo. Still following her, she then went inside a container which has rectangular holes as windows and a few Christmas lights surrounding the container. As she was closing the door, I forced my way in and eventually I got in. "Why are you following me!?" she asked, I then replied, "I got concerned when I saw those two men follow you. I'm sorry if I freaked you out." She then stared at me. After 15 seconds of silence she asked, "Who are you? And are you also a student?" I replied with my name and said yes "I see", she added, "thanks for following me, I guess." "Your welcome, I guess", I said while confused. I looked around the inside of the container, it had a table, a chair, candles and a framed photo of someone. "What are you doing here anyway and who were those two men?" I asked, which she then replied "I live here. And about those two... I can't tell you why." "I see", I replied, "before I leave, what's your name?", and I asked. I don't know her and this may be the only chance that I get to ask her name. My heart was pounding, I was nervous that she may not like it that I asked what her name was.
"My name?" she asked, "ok I'll tell you my name, since you look trustworthy enough."

"My name is——"... I woke up. The very first thing that was in my head when I woke up was "who was that girl", and until today I still don't know who she was.

I think I had a nightmare but I can’t tell.

It was so vivid.

I could feel what happened in my bones and it’s like it occurred irl

It was a fight, more like a beating actually.

Was doing normal activities in class when someone began jabbing me in the back with a lunch which hurt like ll

Then suddenly I was on the ground being kicked in my stomach, back, and face.

After, they were just gone
And I was standing up.

The class acted mentioned the attack but otherwise it was normal.

Then it was for dismissal and I was still shaken up, crying even.

I woke up almost crying from it

It was so vivid.

1999 Spaceship Dream

When I was around 5 years old, which was 1999, I have a memory of waking up in my house and everyone else was sleeping, the floor was literally full of people sleeping but I "knew" they were my family. There was a light shining in from the window and I walked around everyone to the front door into the bright white light. In the front yard, it looked more like Mars with the red earth and yellow sky than where my actual house was, was a massive silver ship and a catwalk came down from the door and I got on it and it took off. I personally associate this as the method of my incarnation.

Now the reason this is Flaired with discussion is because I was telling this dream to Queen Mother and she informed me that she knew of others who had the same dream at the same time. I am searching for others who had this same experience. I think this connection is extremely significant and I would love to hear from others to see what we can figure out together.

In my interest in extraterrestrials and abductions, the dreaming plane is a major point of it. Lucid dreaming is usually given as the reason for dismissal but of course we know now the government has always known about ETs and UFOs.

I am assured that the dream world is another plane of existence so any doubters/scoffers need not reply. Let's have an open minded discussion and figure something out. feel free to DM me as well.

Did I almost get dragged to hell?

I (F22) had a weird (rapture?) dream last night that I can’t stop thinking about. I don’t remember all the details but I was in a school. The elements of the school were familiar but it was really just one long hallway, lined with class rooms with a staircase at either end. I don’t remember too many detail but it seemed like I had been to class, chatted with friends between classes and was now on a free period with a few others. I chatting with people who seemed to be my friends, and flirting with one of the boys in particular. This goes on for a while, until the dismissal bell rings and students begin to exit the doors lining the hallways. But as students are poring out we all note that it is not the regular bell but rather an alarm. It seems everyone but me know what is going on. The crowd began to scramble into classrooms locking and barricading doors. The boy I had been flirting with grabs me by the arm to seek shelter, but I watch him panic passing several open doors as he tries to get to the closest staircase. We then find ourselves stranded in the hallway with a handful of other as all the classroom doors are locked. We’d watched other students try to exit through the staircase but they were met with horrible noises and most did not return. Upon speaking to one of the other students left astray, I learned that there is some sort of beast on the prowl, a woman who eats people. This period was speaking as if they had been personally spared by the beast. He said that if your in her presence and she has not devoured you it’s because she isn’t hungry yet. Then my alarm went off.
