Prom

Going to the high school prom is a major event for any high school student.
Attending the prom is an interesting time in somebody’s life. It’s a transition from being a child into an adult, in essence, is a sense of becoming. This transition should not be glossed over when looking at the environment. What I try and do here is broaden the understanding of the prominent dream in order to provide a rich body of dream interpretation. Proms themselves can give us a clue to how we have as a society grasped commercialism.  If we look at old proms, they were generally in the high school gym but they have now moved to luxurious places. Expensive cars such as BMWs, Range Rovers, and Ferraris. No more is the French fries and Coke’s. It is given way to à la carte meals.  The problem is now associated with beauty, consumption, and romance. In dreams to dream of a prom indicates the end, a new beginning, romantic relations, luxurious times and great investments. Interestingly, there are even magazines dedicated to buying the prom dress. In fact, in 2008 they concluded that the average prom deck dress was around $200.
