I could kick myself for not writing down the details but here's what I can still remember...9 hours later.
What I remember most is that I was in a school and I was looking for someone or something. I think it's the former more than the latter. It seemed to be a holiday time but I can't tell you which one. There was some urgency in my search for the person or thing. I was rounding a corner when I came across a "woman". I assumed it was a woman because of the person's slight stature and small arms and hands. I don't remember taking a good look at the clothing the individual was wearing. I do remember some of it was black and some red. This person had a white, porcelain mask on and white, porcelain gloves. They were actually more like mittens. The mittens were the first thing that I noticed. Coming around the corner, the hand came up to indicate I needed to stop. I thought to myself how odd to have a porcelain glove. That's when I looked up and noticed the white mask. It had only the most basic lines to delineate a face. There were actually no holes for the eyes, nose and face. Again, only extraordinarily basic (and nearly abstract) markings to define the face. The mask was very thin and smooth. What struck me about the mask is that it seemed more like an approximation of a face, rather than a true representation of a face.
I looked up the meaning of schools in my dream deck and online. At dreamsmoods.com, schools in dreams tend to mean: to dream you are in school signifies feelings of inadequacy and childhood insecurities that have never been resolved. It may relate to anxieties about performance and abilities. You may also be going through a "spiritual learning" experience. Alternatively, a dream that takes place in school may be a metaphor for the lessons that you are learning from your waking life.
In the dream deck, schools have the following meaning: school experiences are among the most formative in life. They leave a deep imprint on our subconscious. School dreams can explore themes as diverse as relationships with figures of authority, yearning for public esteem or approval and feelings of nostalgia. Could there be an aspect of your past you are actively longing for now?
The mask, according to Dreammoods.com, means that I will battle against deceit, falsehood and jealousy. This is quite curious to me as I can't begin to imagine where this would come from. Another possible meaning about masks is suggesting I am concerned with the genuineness of someone. Again, I can't fathom who this is.
So, this occurred to me. I looked up search (since I was searching urgently for someone or something) and read that searches represent feeling a void inside, looking for answers or seeking inner contentment. I think this is the route to explore. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.
