I am driving a car with other people in the backseat. It is dark, or maybe I perceive it to be because my eyes are closed and I can't open them. I have no idea how well I am driving the car; almost like I am navigating by feeling the road. I knew I should have my eyes open but I couldn't do it, finally giving up and hoping for the best as the car continued to move along. No one in the car seemed to be alarmed, although I did feel worried like I shouldn't be driving. The car comes to a stop and a cop or someone comes to the driver's side and I roll the window down. Its a man. He says, you know you wrecked your car, right? But I couldn't remember bumping into or scraping anything and as far as I know we are all still alive in the car. I didn't know what to say in response, so I just muttered "Oh.". And I still could not open my eyes.
Is this another retirement dream? Urging me to pay attention?
Are the passengers my kids? The man, Mark?
Sometimes I wonder if I really know what I am doing and think I will discover someday that I forgot to do something that was crucial.
Dreams...sometimes they are a puzzle...and occassionally they are a gift. I'm interested to know what your dreams are like after you retire. I've been retired at the end of last year, and I dream about work and being stressed every week or two. I always wake up so happy that I don't have to go back any more! :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it means you can't see (foretell) your future. You're worried you don't know what you're doing. You're just moving ahead with your plans day by day hoping it will all work out. You'll make mistakes (wrecking car) but you can overcome it and move on. Just my thoughts...
ReplyDeleteNow that I've time to mull it over, I'm sure you are right.
DeleteVery interesting and vivid dream!! I do wonder what it all means, if anything!
ReplyDeleteI like "author's" interpretation, but who knows. The subconscious mind is a crazy thing!
