Integrating many relationships into one dream that makes me late to work

So... The alarm clock and 7 am pass through my mind like dollar bills from the federal reserve; with the quickness and and guile of a CIA agent with the name Osama. Anyway, in the dream, meshed into the fabric of my collective unconscious sprung friends and associations of my past who for certain have never crossed paths. An old friend from a couple years back is receiving substance abuse treatment from a co-worker whom; presumably could help this friend of mine. So where do I lie in this situation. I am the caseworker, my friend, my client. In real life, I have not spoken with this friend in at least 6 months yet I know he is a phone call away. I'm married and he's got a girlfriend, makes it difficult to arrange visitation rights. Back to the dream; my friend is an addict, and not just pot. My co-worker, seemingly unknowning of my relationship with this person is particular concerned. While speaking with the employer of this particular friend, I find similar concern. His work ethic as of late has been crap. They are concerned about his well-being. Shit... (woke up, it's 9:30 and I'm gonna be late for work) Is this friend myself?

Late for work
— Sep 12, 2009
Thank you for sharing your dream. I've been a dreamer, as well as, a tracker of dreams most of my life. I've even conducted dream circles to connect with other dreamers and to help others, along with myself, to understand our dream language. Your dream is somewhat complicated because of so many characters within the dream. Of course, its the dreamer themselves that sub-consciously understands the significance of the dream symbols but I thought I'd offer a few ideas about the dream that might resonate to you. One thing I've learned in dream work is that on the basic level everyone and everything in your dream is you, yet at the same time, it can represent other people and situations in your life. So, you would ask yourself the question, "What part of me is like this character in the dream?" If it were my dream I would look back to my relationship with this old friend of yours. You have put yourself as the caseworker. Caseworkers want to help and assist others. On one level of your dream the caseworker could be the central personality that is trying to pull all the fractured parts of your own personality together. On another level your intuition may be telling you to get a hold of your old friend that you know in your waking life. He may actually be in need of a friend right now. And yes, because everything in a dream represents the dreamer and their life in some way, you are your own friend. The last part about the work ethic was probably just your subconscious trying to get your attention that you were late for work. These are just suggestions to look at and to consider. You are the dreamer and only you know what truly resonates and what feels right. I find that if I can get to what my feeling in the dream is that it is the best indicator of what is really going on in my psyche. Thanks again for sharing. Dreams are quite personal but always facinating.
Love and Light,
Shriya
