College, Alumni, Dogs and Ladders

Feeling After Waking: Weird dream
Spiritual Activity: None

I was back at Belmont University as an alumni - they had alumni dorms that allowed us to have dogs in the dorm rooms. I was at first sharing a very regular dorm room with 2 or 3 other roommates, which was very full and very plain/basic and crammed. I think I then turned around and saw the view through the huge windows outside facing toward Nashville of some type of monument and students walking across campus. I turned around and then I realized I was in a luxury box-type suite and the room had changed to a more high-end hotel looking facility. My roommates had changed to a be more mature age-wise. I knew I was being spoiled to stay here and it was paid for by Belmont.

It seemed I had graduated, but was in my last year again. When I attempted to go down the stairwell to the side to get down, I realized I was very high on a platform at the top and was several floors up heigth-wise from the ground floor though there were no real floors in between just space. I was horrified to see only a very insecure rope ladder hanging down these floors for me to climb down to the bottom. I knew I needed to climb it to get down to the bottom, where it seemed people were waiting on me.

This dream is somehow connected with the other one of the dark tower. You were on a dangerous platform up high and in both dreams you went or tried to get back down to the bottom.im still thinking about the rest.

Have you been contemplating doing something workwise outside of your area of education? If so, maybe you feel insecure about that sort of a platform... it's unknown. You have been comfortable where youve been (dogs are friends and soft and cozy creatures). You are processing the instability of something unfamiliar. Why do you feel like you have to go down the ladder? I speak faith and hope to your spirit. You are only going from glory to glory. You have been translated from death to life. I just want to say to you that you are not going to be put on the bottom again. That is in the past. You are moving forward and up, no matter what work looks like.
