Interpret This!

By Lorrper @lorrper
People talk about having weird dreams all the time. I have them on occasion but with google can get a clear picture of why I had the dream. However, this last dream has me baffled with all the many elements in it. If you would like to try to figure it out...go ahead.
As I walk down the sidewalk I could feel the cool brisk air hitting my neck giving way to my immediate shivering reaction. The concrete slab is a bright white as if coveted by snow and expands at least fifty feet wide. I feel like a speck of dust in the midst of all this whiteness. As I walk closer to the building I find myself blinded by its transparency and begin to wonder if anyone has ever taken notice of the daily patterns of the employees. While I do not recognize this place at all there is an inner sense that informs me I am at my former employment of ECPI. However, once I pass through the doors the whole atmosphere changes. The stark white has suddenly been replaced by gray walls and floors. Again, I had no idea where I was until my inner sense tells me I am now at another former employer, Canon. I had not worked at this manufacturing plant since I was in my early twenties. Still, just as I was adjusting to my surroundings the atmosphere changes again. Now, I find myself in the confines of a very large office. The walls were very dark, covered with some kind of dark wood, which although made the room appear gloomy also appeared to be from a historical era. Right outside of the room, however, the office maintained the stark white characteristics of the outside of the building. My inner sense told me I had been assigned to set up chairs in the dark office for an important meeting that was about to take place. As faceless business people in suits began to arrive so did the occupant of that very large office. She was a woman I had known in one of my former places of occupation. While she was not my direct supervisor she was in charge of the department as well as the head departmental supervisor. As she settled in her chair at her desk and everyone settled in their seats it was apparent that she was in a very nasty mood as the tension in the room grew thick. As the discussions commenced she gave me a look of disgust and said quite condescendingly, "you can go now!" Feeling my cheeks blush red as the heat in my veins began to bubble I graciously stood up from my chair, excused myself past the crowd of business men and casually walked out of the office. As I continued to walk through the white office halls I came upon a wide open space that had the walls not been sheet white could have otherwise been a large warehouse. Walking further I noticed a bunch of furniture and people standing around whispering. I took notice of a young brown haired woman who was attempting to put sheet covers on a queen sized brass bed. When I asked her what was going on she indicated the female supervisor had stormed through the area and proceeded to strip every piece of furniture in her path. As I looked around more closely I noticed the furniture she had described. Oddly enough I had never worked at a furniture store or anything that had even closely resembled one. As I continued walking I came upon a set of glass exit doors. I did not leave but instead suddenly realized the amount of animosity and discourse in the company. I also realized how foolish the supervisor was to send me away based on my marketing skills. It was clear at that moment this woman was threatened by me. I remember grabbing my phone prepared to call my former supervisor, her friend and my current mentor to tell him what had happened and how foolish she would be to ignore my help. The workers obviously did not like her, I obviously did not trust her and she obviously had a serious business issue she was not handling sufficiently.
I have no idea why I had this dream or what it means. If you have any idea then feel free to discuss because I certainly do not know where to start. :-p
