hi gg,
interesting dream! Here are a few thoughts:The dream had overtones of impotence, with hallways that don't lead anywhere, quizzes that are lost, complaints that don't go to the right place (problems that are not solved), food that isn't high quality, and even your own worries about B.O.
I don't mean impotence in the sexual sense, but rather impotence meaning that in the dream you lack power and ABILITY to get things done the right way. You want to win the quiz over the person you don't like, but you don't win. And in fact the rules of the quiz are illogical. You want to complain about the car, but can't find it, and can't find the right people to listen. You want to get food for dinner, but only find inappropriate and inferior stuff. Then you want to head back, but the way is circuitous.
Since the dream also deals with things that don't make sense -- bad quiz rules, car going thru window but the "complaint dept" is missing, food is badly wrapped, signs are weird: Are you concerned about something in "real life" that isn't fair, rules that seem inappropriate, something that seems just out of whack?
I think the B.O. part might be a typical fear that we all have -- we all want to fit in; to look/smell/seem "right". Are you worried about fitting in somewhere lately? Are you concerned about body image around a person/group of people?
About the other things -- they do seem to point to possible concerns about your ability to get things done or to function. Are you stressed or worried lately about completing a project, participating in some kind of project or work, or just about getting regular stuff done on time?
I don't really read too much into single details (like a long hallway.) I think things like that are really very rarely about sex or sexual fantasies. I think most of our dreams concern our worries and fears, or highlight the fact that our brain is trying to work on a problem and solve it using colorful visual metaphors.
Thanks for sharing & giving us the chance to play armchair psych!
