THE DREAM - I was with some professional people. I was talking to them. At one point I was explaining to them. It was something about a 4 to 4 as in times of the day. I was looking at the things on sale in the shop. They had some cool looking toys.

GUESSWORK The dreamer was wanting to mix with professional people. However, she was finding it difficult to motivate herself and was continually sleeping in. Just recently she had been going to bed at 9PM and waking up at 9AM. So she was sleeping for 12 hours per day.

ASSOCIATIONS AND SYMBOLIC MEANINGS
1. TIME: Thinking about the times 4 to 4 (as in the dream) reminded the dreamer of her own tendency to sleep from 9PM to 9AM. This represented 12 hours of the day. This dream could therefore be about that tendency to sleep in - which for her this bad tendency was linked to this 12 hour span.
2. PROFESSIONAL: A dream about professional could link to the dreamers wish to mix with professional people. She was wanted to a professional type person. At that moment she was unemployed but wanted to mix with people who had a profession.
3. SHOP: Shops often represent the things that we want . So a shop full of professional people linked to the dreamers wish to think and feel like a professional person(rather than someone who was unemployed). The shop represented her wish to live a similar lifestyle.
