Example: A man dreamed of apologizing to a woman and then organizing something. In waking life, he recently ended a relationship with a woman whom he felt was using him. In this case, organizing may have reflected his awareness of himself overdoing being protective of keeping himself perfectly prepared and predictable in order to please the woman who was using him.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of being in a room with disorganized furniture. In waking life, her life was very busy while she was dealing with a lot of fears, frustrations, and relationship issues. In this case, the furniture being in a disorganized state may have reflected her feelings of chaos and lack of control in her life, indicating that she felt overwhelmed by her current circumstances.
Example 3: A male church pastor dreamed of being at church and unlocking the study door to see that his beautiful cherry oak desk, computer desk, and bookshelf are missing. All that is left are old desks and chairs that are all unorganized. In waking life, he recently began a new job as a Senior Pastor at his church. In this case, the beautiful furniture being replaced by unorganized desks and chairs may have reflected his feelings about himself doubting his ability to be professional about always having the right answers to easily lead people because real people's lives were more complex and disorganized than he expected, making listening to him feel impossible.
