I come to class with a completed assignment that is comprised of complicated, quantum physics formulas. I spent hours doing the assignment, but got stuck on 2 of the last questions. My childhood friend, DJ, solved them both for me and explained his process of coming to an answer. It was a little over my head, but I had to hurry off to class.
My teacher, Jack (who was my Communications III and Anatomy Lab teacher in waking life) is the professor for this class. I have always felt somewhat intimated by Jack. He is highly intelligent and sometimes his vocal tones come across as condescending. Jack tells me to give the answer for one of the questions that DJ solved. I struggle to read DJ's handwriting. It is written very small, so I'm squinting and having to close one eye to try and make sense of it. As such, I'm reading off the numbers very slowly. By the time I'm done, Jack scoffs at me and shares that the whole class has read through several other answers since I started trying to read off mine. I feel belittled and angry. I stand up and chuck my pencil across the room, not even caring where it lands. Then I grab my things and storm out of the room.
It takes me some time to cool off. When I return to the classroom, Jack is alone and gives me some unsolicited advice on how to express anger without it getting out of control. I can't remember what he said, except for "You need to...blah, blah, blah" since I still felt shut down and closed off from him.
To dream that you see some person with squinting eyes, denotes that you will be annoyed with unpleasant people.
For a man to dream that his sweetheart, or some good-looking girl, squints her eyes at him, foretells that he is threatened with loss by seeking the favors of women. For a young woman to have this dream about men, she will be in danger of losing her fair reputation.
To see a pencil in your dream, indicates that you are making a temporary impact in a situation. It may also suggest that a relationship will not last long.

Alternatively, to sharpen a pencil means that you need to make your best offer in some business deal. Perhaps the dream is trying to offer you some professional advice on how to close a deal.
To dream of pencils, denotes favorable occupations. For a young woman to write with one, foretells she will be fortunate in marriage, if she does not rub out words; in that case, she will be disappointed in her lover.

A symbol which is related to that of the net and that of bonds.
It has been used as an ornamental motif right from prehistoric times, either in the
form of entanglement or of a bunch or knot of ribbons. Sometimes vegetable and
animal forms appear to rise—like grotesques—out of a mass of abstract nervecords resembling vegetable stalks or animated cords in the form of volutes, or
coils or knots or interlacing lines; or sometimes—and this is a more advanced
motif—clearly formed beings are shown enmeshed, as it were, in a cage. Entanglement-symbolism takes its place in legends, folklore and myths alongside primitive and Romanesque art. Thus a giant is enmeshed in trees, or the castle in the
Sleeping Beauty story is hidden under an inextricable mass of vegetation. Jung
has studied the question of entanglement with special care, recalling that Osiris is
brought up lying in the branches of a tree which completely cover him. There is
also the Grimm tale of a girl imprisoned between the wood and the bark of a tree.
Again: while he is travelling by night, Ra’s ship is engulfed by the serpent of
night, this giving rise to a number of later mediaeval miniatures and tales. Jung also
observes that entanglement is often associated with the myth of the sun and its
daily rebirth. However, this is nothing more than a variant of the devouring
symbol mentioned by Frobenius in connexion with sun-heroes (31). In the key to
dreams of the Hindu Yagaddeva, one reads: ‘He who while dreaming twines
round his body lianas, creepers, cords or snakeskins, string or fabrics, dies’, or, in
other words, he returns to the maternal bosom (31). According to Loeffler, a thing
which, on the psychic plane, is entangled, represents the unconscious, the repressed, the forgotten, the past. On the plane of cosmic evolution, it is the
collective dream which separates one cycle of life from the other (38) (Plate VIII).
A symbol of individuality—of private thoughts. The windows symbolize the possibility of understanding and of passing through to the external and
the beyond, and are also an illustration of any idea of communication. Hence, a
closed room lacking windows may be symbolic of virginity, according to Frazer,
and also of other kinds of non-communication. Many rites involving the
enclosureimage are performed to mark the reaching of puberty, all over the world.
The legend about Danae, shut up by her father in a bronze tower, pertains to this
particular symbolism. There is a Siberian legend concerning a ‘dark house of iron’
which is also relevant to it (21). We might also mention the ‘vase with a lid’, one
of the eight emblems of good luck in Chinese Buddhism, and a symbol of wholeness, of the idea with no ‘exit’, or, in other words, of supreme intelligence triumphant over birth and death (signified respectively by the doors and windows of
the room) (5). This explains why the hermetically sealed room may possibly be
a variant form of the ‘vase with a lid’.
To dream that you are in a room, represents a particular aspect of yourself or a specific relationship. Dreams about various rooms often relate to hidden areas of the conscious mind and different aspects of your personality. If the room is welcoming or comfortable, then it signifies opulence and satisfaction in life. If you see a dark or confined room, then it denotes that you feel trapped or repressed in a situation.
To dream that you find or discover a new room, suggests that you are developing new strengths and taking on new roles. You may be growing emotionally. Consider what you find in the discovered room as it may indicate repressed memories, fears, or rejected emotions. Alternatively, such rooms are symbolic of neglected skills or rejected potential.
To dream that you are in an empty white room, indicates a fresh start. It is like a blank canvas where you want to start life anew. Alternatively, the dream means that you are trying to isolate yourself. You do not want any outside influences.
To dream of a yellow room, suggests that you need to use your mind. You are feeling stimulated mentally.

In the Zohar, the ‘magic head’ stands for astral light (9); in mediaeval art
it is a symbol for the mind (46) and for the spiritual life, which explains the
frequency with which it appeared in decorative art. On the other hand, Plato in
Timaeus asserts that ‘the human head is the image of the world’. In corroboration
of this, Leblant points out that the skull, the semi-spherical crown of the human
body, signifies the heavens. Clearly, the head-symbol here coalesces with that of
the sphere as a symbol of Oneness. It had the same significance in Egyptian
hieroglyphics (19). The eagle’s head has been used as a solar symbol and an
emblem of the centre-point of emanation—that is, of the cosmic flame and the
spiritual fire of the universe (4). Two, three or four heads shown in juxtaposition
symbolize a corresponding intensification of a given aspect of head-symbolism.
Thus, the Gemini, a symbol of the duality of Nature, or of the integrating (but not
unifying) link between the two principles of creation, are represented by beings
with two heads or two faces, like the Roman Janus for example. Hecate is depicted with three heads—she is called triform for this reason—a symbolism
which may be related to the ‘three levels’ of heaven, earth and hell, as well as to
Diel’s three ‘urges of life’ (15). The juxtaposition of four heads or faces, as in the
image of Brahma the Supreme Lord, stems from the same symbolism as that of
the tetramorph (60). A factor of major importance bearing upon the symbolism of
the head is mentioned by Herbert Kühn, in his L’Ascension de l’humanité (Paris,
1958). He makes the point that the decapitation of corpses in prehistoric times
marked Man’s discovery of the independence of the spiritual principle, residing
in the head, as opposed to the vital principle represented by the body as a whole.
Kühn adds that Neolithic thought was very close to the mediaeval in its conviction that an eternal and invisible essence underlies all appearances (Plate XV).
