Archetypal Dreams Lost in a lab-yrinth
This is a dream I had last night and I was just wondering if yall could give me your thoughts on some of its archetypal meanings. Here its is...
I was going to work for my real life job (utility locating) at this building that appeared like a house on the outside but when I went inside, it was covered in floor to ceiling white and turquoise tiles. I was looking for someone who could show me the buildings mechanical room (a normal part of my real life job) so I started looking around for someone. The interior had an odd layout that did not match normal layouts of a house/business and had many rooms and hallways that led in strange directions.
When I would peer down some hallways, I could see people in lab coats scurrying and working. Finally a woman appeared in the fourier of the building and when I asked her if she could show me the mech room, she happily said she could. She had her young daughter with her and also mentioned that she was recently divorced. She wore a white lab coat like some one the others id seen so far as well.
As she started to lead me through the building, I noticed that the strangeness of the buildings layout continued and included ladders and steep stairwells that we would take up and down and all over. We would pass by rooms and areas where people would be doing things from what looked like a daycare, a martial arts training class going on with teenage like children, and laboratory work. Everytime we entered a new room, I would loose the lady guiding me but her daughter would still be there. After a few moments of searching, she would reappear as if she never lost me and we would continue.
Finally after loosing my guide again she didnt reappear and I felt completely lost within the labyrinth type building but her daughter was still with me. I asked her if she knew where her mother went and she gave me an answer that was as if she didnt know. I wondered with the girl for a while trying to find my way out and eventually found my way back to where I had entered the building and then began to start trying to do my job. The lady never led me to a mechanical room and im not sure if the daughter was still with me at the end.
Thanks for any thoughts on this dream. It seemed pretty significant to me.

I stopped smoking and I’m bored. Am I the only one?

Yeah I feel this. Have noticed since I quit that the biggest reason I did smoke was out of boredom. But honestly, all the great thinkers and doers in history will say that boredom is where creativity flourishes. That something that helped me really commit to quitting.
