Mysterious old lab

I'm going to work and, when approaching the office, suddenly decide to turn right instead of left. I go between the old buildings and find myself in an old lab. It's quite dark but I still can see. The equipment in a lab suggests it has been build to test, how people react on changes in gravity. There are non-functioning rotation circles a la Corriolis carousel, thin plates, rotating chairs. There are also big cages and I'm sure people were kept there. Why nobody knows this place? I step on a plate and it starts rotating. I have vestibular disorder and start feeling dizzy but curiosity is stronger than the need for physical comfort. A group of unknown people enters the lab, sits on rotating chairs and an old teacher starts the lesson about gravity.

Life is illusion

I'm going to canteen but it looks different. There is almost no choice and only fat meat is offered. The only exception is lazagna but there is a long queue waiting for it. I stand in a queue and when it's my turn the cook gives me a paper to fill. I need to put my name, phone number, home address and agree to receive materials from a religious organization. I think, I will put a fake address because this is definitely too much for an opportunity to buy food. Then I see that my sister has already signed up and put correct address. The person from the sect approaches me and tells that we shouldn't care that much about this life, it's all illusion and real life will be after death (how new!). I'm angry, don't take lazagna (it might have hallucynogens, why not - after all, this is sect) and go to the street. Different people approach me, telling that this is not real, this is all illusion and then I don't know, what to do and stand like paralyzed, with a mouth open.

Balloon show

There is a musical performance, organized by my collegue Itziar. Instead of the drumbeat there should be the sound of bare feet walking on a big rubber exercise ball. The balls are there but when I start walking on them, they become smaller and smaller, finally laying on a floor without air inside. We try to fill the balls with air but it's not possible, if you just blow - the ball is too big and the rubber is too thick. I try to do it with a hover, changing the air direction, so it blows. The balls are ready but when I start walking on them, the story repeats. I'm ashamed.

HIV

My mom calls me and I can't understand, what she's saying. She's nervous and continues to repeat the number "73". Then she starts speaking clearly and I understand that my parents did the check ups and they have HIV. I ask: "Does this mean, I also have HIV?". My mom says: "I don't know. Go and check as soon as you can". My life is turned upside down. I need to go to the lab and do HIV test. I need to tell my sister to do. I will be waiting for results for some time, being nervous all the time. But my biggest concern is not that I might be dying slowly. My biggest concern is that my family will be dying and I don't have that much money to ensure good treatment for all of us, especially if I have HIV myself and will need to stop working.

Then I realize this is too bad to be true, this is an illusion of life and wake up.

I'm in my office. Everyone gathers together in the main hall to listen to announcement that one of the employees is going for retire. Standard procedure. After the announcement, I'm going back to work and suddenly the guy, I'm almost romancing with in real life is appearing and saying he wants to talk to me. I'm really ashamed because normally I don't talk to him business-wise and my collegues turn in my direction and start staring. Then I walk fast to a meeting room and he follows me. In the meeting room he asks, if we may not show up publicly for now. I get such a relief and reply: "Never. I mean: I'd like us never announce. Unless it's impossible to deny". I'm about to leave the meeting room and feel enourmous shame that someone will see us. But the employees attention is taken by the man, who is about to retire. He runs in the hall, smoking a cigar. People shout: "No, it's forbidden to smoke in the office". But he continues smoking, joyfully saying: "I no longer care, I no longer care".

Worms, mice and high school

All town was covered with stinky garbage and looked like taken from cyber-punk movies. I literally felt the smell of the trash and tried to find the way out of neverending rows of dustbins. Thick white worms were eating the trash and I was trying to move slowly not to attract them because I also got the smell. I looked down and saw my legs already covered with thick white worms, which mutated in little mice. I was hitting myself and jumping, trying to remove the mice but they appeared again and again on me, out of no-where.

Then I finally got home, my mom said, I'd been late for school today and it couldn't be the case that tomorrow I'd be late again. I tried to plan my day for tomorrow to go to school but omit the rows of trashbins and suddenly realized... I was sleeping... because I'd already graduated and I remembered, how my diploma looked like.

... and stopped caring about the smell and the mice.

Additional Comments:

To see a worm in your dream represents weakness, degradation, filth and general negativity. You have a very low opinion of yourself or of someone in your life. The dream may also relate to self-esteem issues or a skewed self image. Alternatively, dreaming of a worm may be a metaphor for someone who is untrustworthy or slick. To dream that the worm is crawling on your body indicates that you feel someone around you is taking advantage of you and feeding off your kind heartedness.

To see a mouse in your dream indicates fear, meekness, insignificance and a lack of assertiveness. You are experiencing feelings of inadequacy and fears that you are not measuring up. The dream may be telling you that you are spending too much time hiding in the shadows of someone else. Alternatively, a mouse symbolizes minor irritations and annoyances. Perhaps you are letting petty problems or insignificant issues eat away at you.

To see piles of garbage in your dream represent rejected or unwanted aspects of yourself.
