A woman of some influential status I have had a few interactions with in my waking life was friendly towards me in this dream, and invited me to dinner with her and her husband, and my husband was also invited and came with. We had a nice meal and all four of us had fun laughing and talking, and afterwards, when my husband and I were about to leave, I bowed to her and thanked her for her kindness towards me, and she bowed to me in return. It was an old Chinese bow (I speak Chinese daily and studied the culture so it makes sense this shows up in my dreams), the type of bow where you lean forward very slightly from the head down to the shoulders (The rest of your body stays straight), and put your hands together in front of your chest, which might look like you're in prayer (But actually symbolizes the emotion of gratitude coming from your heart.) This used to display thankfulness in many Asian countries, and was also a sign of respect and gratitude combined. Only a few countries use it now, and mostly only in extremely formal contexts.
As we bowed, a red light began to glow off of us and our hands had gold light emanating from them; red and gold are good luck in Chinese culture and are used frequently at New Year's. This woman doesn't know anything about China in real life as far as I know, but she didn't hesitate to bow in return, and I could feel that she respected me as an equally valuable human being.
I'm just confused about this dream as we don't see each other very often at all (And that may end completely in the next few months if her job changes), and I'm one of many, many people she knows, as she's very social. But I wonder, does this mean that we will become friends who value each other as equals? I don't typically have dreams so rife with symbolism, and I'm confused. For the record, I have had dreams before which have happened, unpredictable things such as earthquakes, deaths in the family, et cetera.
Thank you for your time!
