🌕Dream Reflections: Frogs, Paper Trails & a Grocery Cart Full of Symbols

 🌙🌌🌀I had one of those dreams 

The kind that lingers, layered in symbols and half-sentences. Frogs, hospitals, elevators, plantain chips. I was searching for documents with coworkers and a young intern. My ex-husband appeared, short on money. There was excitement and confusion, a feeling of being close to something, but not quite there.

Then a friend’s phone pocket-called me and woke me up mid-dream. Later she said, “Oh, you’re up early!”; and I laughed because she knows I’m not a morning person. But maybe that call was the universe’s way of saying: bring it back now… and reflect.

Here’s what the dream showed me and how it mirrors my life right now, just days before a major meeting about my future.

🐸 Frogs in the Hallways
There were frogs everywhere, inside a building, not just outside in nature. That’s how it feels in real life: transformation crawling through every corner. Frogs are liminal beings, always between one element and another. I’m in that same between-space, spiritually, emotionally and practically.

🏥 Hospitals, Elevators & Overload
The dream took place in what felt like a hospital or elderly residence. Nurses, long halls, strange quiet. I was moving between floors in an elevator, walking with a coworker and an intern. We were looking for documents. It echoed how I move through life now, observing, trying to make sense of systems, feeling deeply… and sometimes overwhelmed by the structure of it all.

🍌 Plantain Chips & Paying the Price
At one point, I was eating plantain chips while walking through a grocery market with my ex-husband. He didn’t have money, so I paid. That moment stung a bit, it reflected how I often carry the cost, energetically and financially. Even now, as I focus on soul work and healing, I feel the pressure of dwindling resources. There’s joy, yes, but also tension around survival and support.

📄 The Paper Trail Search
I was looking for a lot of documents,  different ones, on different floors. This felt so real. In waking life, I’ve been collecting paperwork, organizing evidence, trying to navigate legal systems, and reclaiming my own narrative. The dream showed how deep that pattern runs, a nervous system still in search mode.

🤝 Friendships, Interns & Sensory Truths
There was a warm, friend-like presence in the dream. And the intern? He had some form of autism. He processed things differently, and I felt protective of him. I realized he represents a part of me, ultra-sensitive, needing space, easily overstimulated. The dream reminded me: the world often calls out to us where we’re most raw. And right now, I need to protect those raw places instead of exposing them.

💸 My Ex & the Energy of Lack
My ex having no money was more than a literal memory, it mirrored how I feel. I’m watching my savings shrink. There are things I want, need, dream of, but I’m holding back, being careful, calculating. The dream reminded me that scarcity isn’t always about numbers. Sometimes it’s about feeling unsupported in the ways that matter most.

🌀 Almost There, Not Quite — Then the Call
Emotionally, the whole dream carried a sense of almost. Like something big was right around the corner, but I couldn’t quite reach it. That’s exactly how I feel right now,  right before this meeting where the authorities will “decide my future.”

And then, a pocket call. My friend’s phone rang out of nowhere and woke me mid-symbol, mid-scene. It felt perfect. Maybe I wasn’t meant to see the full ending yet. Maybe I’m supposed to live it into clarity.

🌺 Final Reflection
This dream held a mirror to everything I’m navigating: transformation, sensitivity, responsibility, and the aching desire for space and support. It didn’t offer clean answers. But it did offer truth.

And right now, that’s more than enough.
