Latest Dream from Michelle

I was on The Apprentice. A tall chick was the project manager for the task. She and I were the only contestants on the task, and we had a bunch of people working for us who were a mix of paid laborers and prison laborers. The paid laborers were in red surgical scrubs. The prison laborers had on scrubs, too, but only their pants were red. Their shirts were prison orange.

All of our workers started filing in from the parking lot. The place where we were was a giant courtyard with a big brick wall separating it from the parking lot. It had a large opening for the entrance. As the workers started entering the couryard, I told the project manager that we needed to get someone on cracking the code. A prisoner overheard and volunteered, saying that he used to be a hacker. The prisoner in my dream was actually a guy who was just hired as a new director on my team, reporting to my medium boss. The project manager handed the prisoner a laptop and asked him to get on it. I didn't think that was a good idea, but she insisted.

The prisoner sat down outside the brick wall and got to work. The project manager and I went inside to get the other workers started. I took out a laptop and checked on what the hacker prisoner was doing. I saw that he had already cracked the code and busted through the firewall, so I quickly shut him out of the system. (I so don't know how to do that in real life. I barely know what I am talking about.) Then I saw that he had already contacted somebody to come get him and that he had ordered plane tickets. I shut him down completely and told the project manager. We rushed out to where the hacker prisoner was to stop him, but he was already in the driver's seat of a convertible with a girl in the passenger seat. As he drove away, he reached out his hand and snagged the gun of an armed guard standing nearby. Donald Trump yelled at the project manager for letting a known hacker have access to a computer and escape.

Interpretations, anyone? What dreammoods.com says:
TV Dream: Your dream may indicate that you are avoiding responsibility for a situation or refusing to acknowledge your role in it. Being in a television show where you are being told what to do and how to act, implies that you are taking a more passive stance and removing all culpability. You may also be attributing responsibility or blame to someone else.

Red: Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations. Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions.

Orange: Orange denotes friendliness, courtesy, lively, sociability, and an out-going nature. You may want to expand your horizons and look into new interests.

Convict: To see a convict in your dream, indicates that  an aspect of yourself is unable to freely express itself.

Man: If the man is known to you, then the dream may reflect you feelings and concerns you have about him. [My first impressions of this guy are that he might be full of himself, is overly proud of his director title and, according to his officemate, who is one of my office pals, the new guy is not friendly.]

Parking Lot: To dream that you are in parking lot, suggests that you need to slow down and take some time to relax from your daily activities.

Walls: To see a wall in your dream, signifies limitations. obstacles and boundaries. There is a barrier obstructing your progress. You may have been accustomed to your old habits and way of thinking.

Computer: To see a computer in your dream, symbolizes technology, information, and modern life.  New areas of opportunities are being opened to you. Alternatively, computers also represent a lack of individuality and non expression of emotions and feelings. Too often you are just going along with the flow, without voicing your own opinions and views. You may also feel a depreciated sense of superiority.

Convertible: To see or dream that you are in a convertible, refers to your glamorous attitude. You are showing off your power and influence. [But it wasn't me, it was the convict.]

Fame: To dream that you have fame, denotes unrealized achievements and disappointed aspirations. It suggests your need to be admired by those around you. To see famous people in your dream, signifies an increase to your prosperity and honor.

Well... the whole prison thing is fairly obvious. You feel trapped because you have to work at your it job like a real grown up. (Convict, computer, walls) The man in the convertible reveals how you feel about this new guy. He thinks he is very glamorous and important. So really what you want to be doing is expanding your horizons to find your passion and bust out of the usual routine. (Red, Orange, Parking Lot). Ultimately you will be prosperous (and given that it was DT) it will be $$ prosperity. I don't know about the TV though...
