This dream was very long. This type of dream is more of a dream of clarity. When becoming lucid or in the occasion that you sleep in your dreams, the quality of a dream can change and become closer to reality. The story line doesn't change abruptly, and there is a certain logic to the dream that is sustained. Dream I got a text about a job. I replyed that it sounded like a scam. ( I realize this later in the dream.) But I decided to check in about the job. I meet with the boss. He is asian, Japanese maybe. He talks about what he needs. A networked databse which track inventory and help with sales, but not a point of sale per say. It has to be live, multiplatform, and precise. My though went directly to a multi user game engine instead of using a traditional database tool. At first I realized that it was too much for my programing skills, but I didn't want to give up. So I continued talking to the boss. We had a good time, and then he said he would pay me 5$ per hour and we laugh, understanding at that moment that it wasn't about the money. It felt like I had the job but in my mind I was already failing at it. This was bigger than I've never built. Then the boss said, of course you can hire some programmer. Then it all shifted. Yes I can manage, yes I know programmer, and of course if I have a decent salary I can make anything happens. The shift in perception was palpable. I moved from being a programmer with fear in his mind, to a manager fearless of the task at hand. We went for lunch at a small cafeteria, and talked a bit more. Then I went to a hotel room of some sort. It was fancy, but I got woken up by some other room mate. I was to plan for dinner for the boss and 2 other peoples. I wanted to cook Salmon and then this leather making dude just showed up and picked up the salmon with his hands and dumped it in the guests plates. I was horrified and the salmon wasn't even cooked. Then I realized, I should simply ask the cooked to make the fish. Again, managing a situation instead of being the one cooking. Reflection I feel there are a few layers to this dream. Some symbolic but also because of it being a clarity dream, it seems like it's announcing a shift in my life, as well as more dreaming. On the messaging of the dream, that shift between "I" need to do everything to "I" can simply manage is an important sensation. Where do I do this in my life? How can I change this? I receive a message in the dream so I'll also be observing reality to see what comes my way. What opportunity show up. A detail that I didn't mention is that at first I though about a budget, then I though about an hourly rate. The finaly realized that none of that was needed, I would have more than I need. Again this shift in perspective. Changing from a small mind to an expensive reality..
