So I quit ballet after 10 years of dance. It was hard for me, but it was the right thing to do based on many many reasons, one being that I was probably the worst in the class. I know this because my ballet teacher would yell at me for being so stupid and verbally tell me that I was unable to dance "right". Also I quit because of the pressure to be better and to get the better parts in the ballets.
Well shortly after I quit I got a series of really weird dreams all centered on the guilt motive that "if I didn't quit, I would've been the best", most of them were about me being Clara in The Nutcracker (a lifelong aspiration of mine). But it really annoyed me that my subconscious mind really pushed that I should regret quitting ballet. If I never quit ballet, I would've never discovered my passion for opera singing and never would I have sang the national anthem to a crowd of thousands at a hockey game. I would've never found out about movie auditions and I would've never been in a play or a musical, which I figured was my real calling.
Now recently (it's been 2 years after quitting) was in a sing & dance holiday show at school and outside of school my little sister was in The Nutcracker (as a rat). I was so jealous of how amazing and talented the lead dancers were in both shows, that I'm almost convinced I should go back to dancing, and even try ALL styles of dance... (especially tap dancing, which I've really been liking since a week ago)
So can anyone help me interpret this?*
