In your dream, wearing a formal dress signifies preparation and anticipation for a significant event in your life. The graduation represents a successful completion of a chapter or the accomplishment of a goal that you identify with, despite not being a student in waking life. This could mean achieving a personal milestone or receiving recognition.
Your consciousness of not attracting attention might reflect your desire to keep low-profile achievements or events in your life private without seeking public validation.
Seeing classmates participating in a religious ceremony that differs from your faith might symbolize feelings of difference or exclusion in some area of your waking life, where you may feel like an outsider due to differing beliefs or practices.
Walking away from the mass and back to your house at night time might be indicative of retreating into familiar territory and comfort zones, particularly when facing uncomfortable situations.
Candles represent guidance, hope, and enlightenment; their presence suggests that despite feeling out of place, there's still a sense of direction and warmth in your own inner circle.
Telling your mother you want to change dresses implies the desire for transition or presenting yourself differently after initial plans don't follow through. The unfinished dark green dress may represent projects or aspects of yourself that are incomplete.
Choosing the maroon dress indicates determination as maroon can symbolize courage and strength; it is significant that this was the only complete option available to you, suggesting making do with what is finished and accessible rather than what is preferred but incomplete.
The revelation that your mother feels lazy to attend reinforces family dynamics possibly present in waking life where support is lackluster during important milestones. Feeling hurt about her behavior reflects real emotional responses you have when let down by loved ones.
Lastly, checking for contact from peers and receiving spam instead denotes feelings of neglect or social isolation - reinforcing earlier themes where you wish for inclusivity yet face barriers linking back to differences highlighted at the outset. There's an unvoiced need for acknowledgement which isn't being met by either family or peers.

Overall Meaning:
Your dream captures themes about transitions in life stages through symbols associated with achievement (graduation) while also highlighting feelings of difference (religious service). It strikes on emotional chords relating to family relationships (mother) personal identity choices (dresses), communication struggles (text messaging), and fulfillment versus disappointment within social constructs. Acknowledge these symbolic pointers to better understand underlying emotions tied perhaps to recent experiences in the waking world.
