Dream about a law firm and a school - genuine interpreters only please?

First, I was seeking employment in what looked like a law firm. It had those nice cherry banisters flowing with a staircase. There was an older woman who at first seemed very helpful and willing to rent me the space, then after she got one of my references, she refused to help me.

Then it shifted to what seemed to be a school. I felt a bit on the outside, as something of a teacher, and there was a circle of other teachers having a meeting. One blonde woman in particular seemed very nice to me, and she seemed popular within this school. I was also looking at something in what seemed to be the school's gift shop, and a tall, blonde man said hello, and I got shy but said hello back.

Any ideas?

Lets break this down. Seeking employment or searching means you are looking for some life changes. The cherry color represents either the life force ebbing away or throbbing with life.
The staircase is associated with feelings of achievement or failure. So, in the first part of the dream you put the above with the rejection from the older lady it indicates that you are looking for changes in your life but you have issues in believing in yourself and also with insecurity.
In the second part, the school image represents lessons to be learned and more growth required. Blonde color is associated with no positive goals and drifting through life, but seeing blonde twice indicates an urge to improve self confidence so you can move forward. Hair represents strength.
So putting it all together you have some self confidence issues, which are not serious (strength), but you have to take control of your life and move forward.

You may be seeking a job with high standards that may not be open or available to your position.

Stick with what you know and can do to work your way up.
