Everyone who knows me well, knows about my funky car dreams. I have had them for years. Sometimes I am driving in a very small car with no bottom and I can see the road speeding along under my feet. One night I actually lost a shoe and had to go back for it. In that same dream I was able to pick the car up and turn it around and go get my shoe. What is great about the small car dreams is that you can park them anywhere.
Other times I am driving in half-light. It is almost light enough to see but not quite. It's like I am driving without my glasses on in the dark.
Many times I am riding in a speeding car in the back seat and I realize no one is at the wheel steering or controlling the car. I hastily try to get behind the wheel, but I can never seem to get there. Sometimes I see a stop sign or an intersection where the light is red and I am powerless to stop the car. I usually wake up before I hit anything.
Other times I am going somewhere with no clue as to how to get there and yet I keep going anyway. Many times I am driving over a very high overpass with water on all sides. The view is breathtaking and it's almost as if I am flying but there is an acute sense of fear as well. (Oh, I have flying dreams too but that's another topic)
One thing I notice in all these dreams is that the car seems to be driving itself and turning itself but I realize that I have to get control before disaster strikes. I always wake up before it does.
Last night was something new. I dreamed I was driving backwards. I was driving my Dad's old van and going from Lodi to Stockton (around a 15 minute drive) I was driving around 55 mph, all the time looking behind me and in the rear view mirror.
I woke up exhausted.
Dr. Freud would have a field day with me. But I actually think its pretty simple. God is telling me that it's safe to let go of the wheel as long as He is in control.
I will save the "teeth falling out" dreams for another time.
Dream has its own world. You can do anything and fulfil your wish in your dream. I heard that people dream only those things which they want to get it. It is the indication that your are thinking about car only.

Lori-I have car dreams too-but I really can't wait to read about your teeth dreams!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL -- I read somewhere that we use God like a spare tire --- in emergencies only.
ReplyDeleteI don't have driving dreams, but I have classroom dreams that are nutso.
We could have a field day talking about them together.
Hugs.
Yes, you are all right. Debbie, most of my teeth dreams are more like nightmares. They all get loose and then start falling out one at a time.
ReplyDeleteHarriet, I have had the classroom dreams too, but not in a long time :-)
Dreams, and their symbolism, intrigue me. Have you ever listened to any of John Paul Jackson's teaching on dreams?
