I think I need help interpreting a dream I just had. I think I experienced deafness.

So to provide a brief amount of context: I worked from 10am-1pm today, and my usually very quiet, private desk job was much noisier due to some construction going on upstairs. It was troublingly loud, enough that I would've asked questions if I weren't alerted to it ahead of time. Things upstairs were being hit and dropped very heavily and it startled me more than once.

So cut to my dream, just a few hours after I got off work (I'm on a weird schedule). I'm walking through some kind of park with my friends, and we hear a lot of weird noises like some industrial construction is going on a few blocks away. It's not that bad, I'm walking along and enjoying myself, when the sounds are getting louder. Banging, booming sounds.

Out of nowhere, one of the sounds is horrifically, violently, explosively loud, I clamp my eyes shut and cover my ears and begin shouting because I can feel myself going deaf. I immediately wake up, and in that weird transition, I may have been shouting in real life.

What do I even think about this? How do I reflect on that?
