Dream Summary
The dreamer is at a reform school for children, where they and their husband are trying to escape a sinister massage room lease. Reformers, seen before at Esalen, select children for reform based on their spiritedness. The dreamer escapes a bus meant for reform with their son.
Interpretation
The reform school may symbolize societal pressure to conform or change, along with anxiety about losing individuality. The division of children into groups represents decision-making and judgment. The bus can signify a journey or transition and the need to escape or resist. The massage room and lease reflect entrapment or feeling stuck in a 'sinister' agreement. The reformers and bus ride emphasize authority and control, questioning freedom and choice.
