Sad in San Francisco
I had just gotten married to Kirsten and was wearing a tuxedo or at least the shirt and tie. It had these buttons I couldn’t quite figure out. I was with Mark Sabatino. He owned a gallery across from Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. We were at YBCA and it was awkward. This whole dream I felt sad and insecure and like a loser. Mark’s talked about his gallery being demolished by someone who drove into it but when he took me there it was an incredibly fancy glass building and there was just one small piece of glass shattered. He took me bar hopping and I eventually drank. It was a fancy wine bar and I was in a tux on my wedding night without my wife. I was going to lie about why I was in a tux but ended up telling these Italian guys that my wife and I are just very busy and will have our honeymoon later. They clearly didn’t care. Mark and I had a hard time finding a seat in the place. He actually was parking his car inside the bar at one point. The whole thing was annoying. He ordered some very fancy drink called a Jerusalem. It was served in a martini glass, rinsed with wine and then some sort of foamy green drink appeared. Mark turned into this young attractive young woman and this drink was incredibly refreshing while also being very strong. I was nervous and knew that I shouldn’t be drinking. There were very tall men nearby I was afraid I was going to start acting foolish and drunk around or even try to fight.
✨ AI Generated Interpretation
This dream reflects feelings of insecurity, inadequacy, and a lack of control. The setting in San Francisco, a city known for its progressive attitude and vibrant art scene, suggests a desire for connection to creativity and culture, but also highlights a sense of displacement and discomfort. The dream starts with a wedding to Kirsten, but the protagonist is unsure of how to navigate the tuxedo, indicating a feeling of being out of place or unprepared for a significant event in their life. The buttons symbolize a struggle with unraveling or understanding something important. This could be reflective of a larger issue in waking life where the dreamer is facing challenges or feeling overwhelmed by a new situation or relationship. The presence of Mark Sabatino, who owns a gallery, may represent ambitions or aspirations in the realm of art and creativity. The mention of his gallery being demolished by someone who drove into it could signify fears of failure or disruption in one's creative pursuits. However, the actual state of the gallery as a fancy glass building with only a small piece shattered suggests that the damage may not be as severe as initially perceived. This could symbolize a need to confront and overcome fears or doubts in order to realize one's creative potential. The bar hopping and drinking in the dream reflect a desire for escapism and the avoidance of facing underlying emotions or responsibilities. Being in a tuxedo without one's wife on the wedding night suggests a sense of loneliness or disconnection in the dreamer's personal life. The interaction with the Italian men and the lie about postponing the honeymoon may indicate a fear of judgment or the need to maintain a facade of success and happiness in front of others. The difficulty in finding a seat at the bar and Mark parking his car inside the establishment symbolize a lack of boundaries and a feeling of chaos or disorder in the dreamer's life. The transformation of Mark into an attractive young woman and the fancy drink called a “Jerusalem” may represent a desire for transformation or renewal, but also a fear of losing control or engaging in risky behavior. Overall, this dream suggests a struggle with feelings of insecurity, uncertainty, and a desire to escape from reality. It may be a reflection of inner conflicts and unresolved emotions that need to be addressed in order to achieve a sense of balance and self-assurance in waking life.
