| In The Midst of Dreams |
My daughter and I
were discussing our dreams the other day. I
asked her if she knew what my dream meant, since it was a recurrent one. She wasn't sure, but thought it might be that
I was searching for an answer.
In the dream I have
gone grocery shopping. Upon leaving the store, I begin walking to my car, pushing a heavy cart in front of me. I suddenly realize my car is
not in the space where I had parked it. Twisting my head left and right, I begin a search, leaving the cart behind, worried my car has been stolen! So off I go, frantically clicking the fancy key fob that is supposed to pinpoint my car with supreme
accuracy, and I still cannot locate my car. Now the dream goes dark...the moon is starting to rise slowly in the
dusky night sky. I only want desperately to go home! Frustration and fear is eating at
me as I turn around to head back to the store for assistance, only to find its
closing, rather quickly too. The
sudden disappearance of the lights from the store and parking lot fills me with such sorrow and despair, tears start flowing. At this point I wake up, taking deep
breaths, happy to discover it's just a dream.
Ever have a dream similar to my own?
Bothered by the fact
that I have had this dream several times lately and could not figure out what I
may be searching for, I went online and
did some research.
This is what I found
regarding my dream:
Losing your car may mean you are losing your motivation or are feeling directionless, not knowing which road to take. Losing your vehicle in a dream is all about anxiety and uncertainty. The vehicle in a dream represents your ego, your sense of self, your orientation of your sense of self. Your trying to find your vehicle is your way of trying to come back to yourself, your normal oriented self.
This explanation was particularly interesting. I do feel directionless and quite lost. Is
this a result of retirement? I don't think it is serious. Lately, motivation
has been an elusive butterfly. I feel
like I am waiting for something to happen so I can plan where I am going or what I am going to do.
I am just sitting this out, doing only the things that I must and
avoiding everything else. Add to the
fact, my creative spark, which I always
rely on to clear the cobwebs, seems to be hiding, peeking out only on
occasion. It's not necessarily a search, more of a period of restless waiting. Hopefully, resolution will occur soon. 😐
Returning to the
subject of dreams, there is so much content on their relevance, that I
selectively picked a few that were also dreams of mine, at one time or
another. Maybe you will find your latest
dream or nightmare on the list:
- Cemetery dreams indicate sadness or unresolved grief.
- Dreaming of chocolate symbolizes the need to be rewarded or deserving of special treatment.
- Cakes signify a time of rejoicing or celebration.
- Standing on a cliff represents living on the edge or being afraid of failure.
- Going up a mountain represents working hard, overcoming obstacles, and rising above petty, everyday quarrels. Descending a mountain can symbolize taking a step back from something or someone
- Dreams of water often symbolize the unconscious...for instance, dreams of drowning represent being overwhelmed with current issues.
- Being totally naked in your dream suggests exposure of self to others, being vulnerable or feeling ashamed. It can also represent a desire for freedom or being unencumbered.
- To see your mother or father is associated with a desire for change, a new path to take place in your life. It also provides a feeling of satisfaction and peace to your inner mind.
- Falling is an indication of insecurities, instabilities, and anxieties. You are feeling overwhelmed and out of control in some situation in your waking life.
- Flying represents a sense of freedom. Dreams of flying serve as a sort of escape from the pressures of the real world (which is represented by the ground).
How about dreaming
you are late for that chemistry test?? Well, it just means you are worried you
will be late for that chemistry test.😎
Cheers!! 🍷
