Last night, and I swear it was only between the hours of 3:30 am and 7:00 am, I remember three distinct (and distinctive) dreams. Really, snippets of dreams and in the first one, I was in a car (can’t remember the color); I think it was a convertible. I was a passenger and my childhood friend, Donna, was driving. Donna looked regal; we use to call her a princess behind her back. I haven’t seen or heard from Donna in over a decade but we were friends between the ages of four (4) and seven (7). In my dream, I thought it odd that we were driving along a coastal highway. We must have been on the west coast. I could see the beach and the ocean from the passenger side, when I woke-up.
My interpretation:
First of all, a car is how we get around in life. In your case, a childhood friend, Donna, was driving. “You were a passenger” which means you are allowing these feelings to drive your actions now. Donna is female so this means a feeling. When you dream about a car you usually want to be driving, in charge of your own destiny/life. What this dream is trying to tell you or help you to remember, (give you a time reference), some feelings that you are dealing with today was started around that time, age wise. They were developed as a child, which means immature feelings are driving your choices today. “Donna looked regal; we use to call her a princess behind her back,” ‘regal’ is an attitude, a state of mind, ‘princess’ these are words and attitudes about royalty. I believe this dream is asking you to look into the beliefs and attitudes you have about self-value and self-worth. The image and likeness of God is a royal self-image. Maybe, you are judging the appearances of regal and royalty negatively, ‘behind her back,’ sounds like you don’t want to be that way.
“Highway represents the path in life chosen by the dreamer (you) to accomplish your goals. Physical life is the result of a series of choices made by each individual. Opportunities for Self betterment abound. (Maybe, you don’t want to be called a ‘princess’). A sequence of choices, based upon the initiation of and response to experience, creates an individual’s path in life. A highway in the language of mind symbolizes this process,” (Condron 1997, 126).
Ocean is a very good sign in a dream. “Sea of life; enormous emotional energy to be respected and used wisely. Source of your life force,” (Bethards 1995, 133). You have this enormous energy, this big life but you are not using it wisely, you are going along for the ride. You have the ability and the value to take charge and let the mature Spirit of God within you drive and motivate you. You can count of that. You can feel safe with that.
What this dream means:
Hosea 4:6a said, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Why are we destroyed? I ask, because you have rejected knowledge.”
Once upon a time there was a little princess who sacrificed her inner beauty because she was afraid to put her “Real True Self out there,” her princess. She moved through life as a passenger hiding her royalty and regalia as a princess. This dream is showing her how to get out of her head, her conscious traditional, habitual way of being, her worldly way of thinking, and into her heart, therefore living from that Divine place of royalty within. Dreams are designed to help you burst out of your self-imposed-image, your mundane life, and start living ‘full out.’
