New York City
To dream of New York represents social interaction with others where it's important to see you matter without a problem. Social situations where mattering is all you can do because people will get back at you or ignore you if you don't. Social interaction where you like why you're important enough to matter more than someone else with what you're good at. Not having to talk to people who don't matter more than you. Situations where you notice that you are better than other people for why you're relevant. Social situations that require needing to be important enough to matter so other people respect you for what's happening. Feeling tough enough to do things that are important enough to matter to other people. Social interaction with a feeling that leaving people behind who don't matter is important to get ahead or help yourself. Social interaction with other people related to career or financial relevance.
Negatively, New York City may represent social interaction with other people where you are important enough to matter and don't need to respect people who can't prove why they matter. Not wasting your time with people who don't prove they matter. Feeling that people will only respect you for what's important enough to matter. Feeling that you are on your own with needing to be important or tough enough to matter. Feeling that people will not respect you or listen to anything you say unless it's important enough to count. Feeling that someone doesn't have to respect you or like you if you aren't strong enough to be relevant.
Example: A woman dreamed of her mother living in a beautiful penthouse in New York City. In waking life, she was about the leave the country to pursue a Ph.D education. In this case, New York City may have reflected her feelings about social interaction with other people that was focused on not wasting time with any people that got in the way of getting ahead in life with her plans to leave the country to pursue her Ph.D. She may have felt that it was important to exclusively socialize with people who were supportive of a successful future and to cut off social ties to anyone ignorant who didn't matter.
Example 2: A man dreamed of walking the streets of New York. In waking life, he was finally making enough money in order to matter or be respected by his father after a period of time of making little money.
