always on the road
For the last 10 to 15 years in my dreams I am always riding in a car, driving a car, or running up against situations in a car – like bad weather, snow, ice, or narrow roads. Every single night there is something that has to do with a car – whether I am driving […]
bad vision
My husband (who thinks he hardly ever dreams!) told me that he had a very vivid dream 2 nights ago where he was driving a car but he could not see at all. He was rubbing the windscreen but still could not see. He had to concentrate on trying to stay on the road and […]
parked romance
I have a recurring dream that I am driving my own car (of which I am very proud) down a road that initially is empty. Then I see cars coming towards me and realize that somehow I am driving down the wrong side of the road. The first time I had this dream I simply […]
love in the fast lane
Background information: I have been single and dating for three years. I had a serious relationship with a man who is a retired police officer (a detective). It is going nowhere at the moment. I recently met someone else, also a detective, and we are communicating and plan to meet soon. Both are long-distance relationships. […]
stuck in reverse
Background information: I’m married to husband number three. It’s not an emotionally fulfilling relationship. It feels like it is more out of convenience. I had a strange dream about my second husband. We were trying to get back together. He told me I had gained weight, which is true. He was wearing a pair of […]
in a fog
Background information: I’ve been going to this little church in my town that is full of old people. The church isn’t really growing at all and the youth that were there are pretty much gone. I used to help out with the youth but now it’s kind of depressing, since only one of them comes […]
broken glass
Hi Carol – I am curious if your recent move to Chicago hasn’t awakened you to some of the pain and suffering that has occurred in the lives of friends and family in the twenty years since you have “been away from your roots.” One of the great mysteries of life in our world is […]
car out of control
THE CORRECT ANSWER IS… C. A loss of control in one’s life Dear All Burned Up: Dreams frequently use cars to symbolize the status of our lives. Whether the car is new, used, clean, dirty, dented, being repaired, being painted, stolen, borrowed, all has significance in relation to the dreamer. When we lose control […]
always on the road
Hi Susan – Cars in dreams – in which we are driving or riding as a passenger – almost always are metaphors for ourselves. Thus I would suspect that your dreams actually correlate rather neatly with whatever situations are occurring in your life at the time of the dream. For example, dreaming of driving in […]
bad vision
Hi Zoe – Dreams speak in metaphors, and your husband’s dreams are no exception. I suspect your husband is experiencing a bit of difficulty “seeing his way” through a current dilemma or concern. Cars in dreams typically represent our selves – the direction we are headed in our lives. The windscreen represents our conscious mind […]
addictions
I had a strange dream the other night. First off, I’m a 33 year old male. I recently stopped doing drugs and drinking alcohol. I have been sober for 6 months. I am in the process of making amends for the damage I caused through my addictions. I am also trying to resolve the resentments […]
addictions
Hi Jim – Congratulations on your six months of sobriety. I know it feels great to have that addiction off your back. Keep up the good work! Your dream may sound confusing to you – but I think it is full of good news. As you correctly identify, one of the steps in the AA […]
