What Does This Dream Mean? [Repost]?

Reposted due to bad answer (Previous post was only answered by spam)

Okay, a few weeks ago, I had a strange dream... Can you tell what it means?

Okay, so I was at one of the schools sites I used to go to, I can't remember why I was there.
The school's playing fields, backs onto a local airport, (West London Aero Club, AKA. White Waltham)

[I point out the dream was actually set in a REAL location :P]

I was one of the last people outside, As everybody was walking in, I noticed a light aircraft was flying low, coming over the hedges... I pointed this out to a person, who was walking past, they looked over, and replied with what can only be described as a "meh"
With some knowledge of aircraft, I knew something wasn't right, and as I thought, the aircraft ended up crashing in the field in front of me.
If I am going to be technical, the aircraft appeared to have stalled, and had fallen into the field.
The plane had remained intact, no piece had broken, there was no fires, and when I ran over to check if everybody inside was ok, it turns out that there were three people inside, two men, both in their thirties, and a young lady about the age of 17-18. Following education in First Aid, I checked them all, and they were all ok, no injuries at all... So, removing them from the airplane, I helped them out and sat them under a tree nearby... I took out my phone, so that I could at least call the emergency services, to report that this plane is down, and everything is ok, people may need medical treatment etc, no matter how many times I tried, by stubby fingers which were beginning to clam up, were unable to dial any number at all...

A few minutes later, I notice a police helicopter above, and I try to wave at it, to catch it's attention, yet nobody noticed, and it moved on into the distance away...

[At this point, I wake up, and have to go to the loo :P]

When the dream continues, the two men have disappeared, and this time, I am sitting in a room with the female who was somewhat traumatised, and I was there explaining stuff [I can't remember exactly what]

[I finally wake up, it's Morning]

So, If anyone has any ideas what that bollocks I just dreamt about actually means, I would like to know!

1. ThatKid, I'm intrigued you have the same ability as a girl friend of mine to have a dream, break off in the middle of it for the loo, then plunge straight back into it.

To me the key to this dream's you seem to have a highly technical perspective to much of the dream, what some'd call insider information: i.e., you're able to detect something's wrong with the aircraft before it's even clear there is or for that matter what, to the degree you notice certain sophisticated technical distinctions other people'd miss about its eventual plunge.

The fact you're even looking at the sky at all - something I myself get mocked for, with cracks along the line of, "Never seen a cloud, plane, pigeon, etc., before?" - tells me you pay a greater than average attention to your environment than most people you know. In short, you're an OBSERVER - someone who doesn't just looks but actually tries to SEE.

It's when you mention having your having an education in First Aid you clinch the dream's meaning, at least to me.

You see, you don't just pay attention, you anticipate possibilities, such as the sorts of things where First Aid'd be useful - in short, you like to be PREPARED for all eventualities.

Yet in the dream, after anticipating the plane crash before it happens, etc., getting there with your First Aid knowledge to help out if necessary, etc., extracting the passengers from the danger of the plane combusting, etc., etc., for all your technical preparedness, when it comes to the simple task of using your 'phone to call emergency services, you're suddenly all fingers and thumbs, something you simply couldn't have anticipated.

This dream, then, to me at least, is about your own fear of losing control in some critical situation, especially if it involves the well being of others, of not living up to your own best expectations of yourself, of being a klutz instead of a hero, as exemplified by your failure to attract the cop copter's attention.

I sincerely hope you never have to test your mettle in a true catastrophe - if only because it means someone'll be in precisely the sort of dire straits I wouldn't wish on anyone, not to mention it'll also probably mean someone like another Anders Breivik'll be doing their sincere best to save one part of the world by destroying another part of it.

The last part of the dream, after you've been to the bog, though, suggests you'll perform admirably, because for all your calamities, you somehow still manage to get the traumatised girl to safety, where you immediately start regaling her with all that technical stuff you clearly revel in.

I'm not sure how effective it'd be as chick bait, though, but you never know!

2. I feel like this dream requires more personal info to interpret. My feeling is that you have a daughter that you are worried about growing up. You have a plane crashing in the middle of your what I would guess to be your youth. It seems scary, but no one else is worried. And it turns out that nothing bad even happens when it crashes. Everyone is fine. But you are still worried and trying to take care of everyone. Then you are too nervous to do what it is that you need to do. There is something going on in your life that you are very worried about, that no one else thinks is important, and that you don't feel like you can handle on your own. In the end of the dream though, the girl is scared and you are doing your best. That is why I thought you might have a daughter. The two men in their thirties are important too, but I couldn't tell you why. The girl is the most important. Sometimes people are people, but sometimes the symbolise abstract forces or feelings.

Good luck, I hope you figure it out!
