Meaningful Dream

This morning's dream: I'm on an airplane about to take off. I must be going somewhere to present a lecture, because my carry-on includes my computer projector. As the plane starts taxiing out of the gate, I glance out the window and see the nose of another airliner going slowly past about six feet away. This is immediately followed by a grating jolt as the two planes clip each other's wings in passing. The flight, of course, is cancelled and they start unloading the passengers. However in the confusion the airline personnel have managed to misplace my computer projector (the carry-on was being dealt with by a coat-check type system)as well as my other piece of carry-on which was a CD album (for some unknown reason). There are suggestions that these items have been confiscated by TSA because it's suspicious that I'd be carrying so much electronics-related stuff with me.

Interpretation: Well, the plane flight was clearly the canceled ski trip. It's possible that the proximity of the two planes was that feeling of "temporal claustrophobia" I mentioned. And the misplacing of the computer projector was clearly anxiety about preparing for the workshops I committed to (which will be in early August). And the bit about stupid airport security paranoia? I don't think that was symbolic. Have I mentioned lately that my "meaningful dreams" are not at all mysterious?
