He came and said that those were his items and he got in line by me and proceded to pay for the groceries. I woke up after that, I was wondering if someone can tell me just what that dream meant! I have been trying to figure it out but I can't!

Hi Joy!
I'm sorry for the delay in response. My computer is doing wierd things, I'm on hubby's right now. I may be off for a few days until we get mine fixed....
First, have you run into this person or heard news about him since the dream? It's a good possibility.
Now for the symbols. Let's start with the grocery store. Shops in dreams can symbolize a smorgasbord of opportunities that life may offer for you. But in your dream, the groceries belonged to someone else. Are you feeling short-changed in any way? Maybe reflecting upon where you are right now in life and being disappointed? Since your girls were with you - are you feeling like you're not doing enough for them?
I ask because he's related to your education since you went to school with him and this may be an indirect symbolism of school. It may be a metaphor for what you are learning from life over a long period of time. This could mean that you're feeling nostalgic and would like to recapture the idealism, freedom and hopefulness you had when you were younger.
Does any of that make sense? In trying to figure it out, what have you considered?
Also - did he pay for your groceries or just his? Or both? I'm not clear on that.
