Dream Summary
In a dream, the dreamer navigates an arena with a baby, encounters a past authority figure, Blake, skates, and faces challenges about doing things the 'right' way. She seeks unnecessary advice from a drugstore, encounters differing viewpoints at a pier, returns and comforts her baby, and falls asleep.
Interpretation
The arena symbolizes a public stage for personal expression and performance, indicating areas of life where the dreamer is displaying or proving herself. The baby represents new beginnings, potential, and vulnerable aspects of the dreamer's psyche that require care and attention. Blake's presence may symbolize authority or opinion from past experiences still influencing current decisions. The act of skating implies ease, grace, and perhaps navigating life's challenges fluidly while balancing responsibilities. The drugstore represents external sources of validation or solutions, perhaps unnecessary for the dreamer's current 'mothering' instincts.
