Trying a Little Dream Analysis

Last week I mentioned I had a doozy of a dream. I thought today, for fun, I would try a little dream analysis with help from Dreambible.com (not a secure site, fyi). I wonder what I’ll discover 🤔.

First the dream: It starts with me in my car driving in the rain at night. I’m at the top of a steep hill and at the bottom small part of the road is covered in water from the river below. Next thing I know, I’m out of my car looking down trying to decide if it’s safe to pass. Deciding that it’s not, I go to turn around and the path has narrowed considerably (it’s now about two feet wide), I trip as I’m turning and fall on the embankment of the path. I pull myself back onto the path (my car has since disappeared) and I start to crawl back up. I look over the edge and see 3 children (one in a wheelchair) playing in the river, but it seems to be a cove because the water doesn’t appear to be pushing them around. I shout at them to be careful and begin climbing again. I spot boards/planks at the top of the path and a woman is moving them so that I can get out of the underground cavern I’ve suddenly found myself in – the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. I crawl out and the dream ends.

Let’s see what I can deduce from this dream using the above-mentioned site. I tried to pick the most relevant images.

Driving: To dream of driving a vehicle represents full control of decision-making or the direction a situation you are experiencing is taking. Controlling or navigating the direction in life you are headed.

Rain: To dream of rain represents sadness, disappointment, difficulties, or depression. It may also reflect despair.

Steep Hill: To dream of a steep hill represents feelings about an obstacle or challenge that isn’t impossible, but you noticeably don’t like it. Annoyance that you have to put a lot more effort into overcoming something that isn’t impossible than you want to. 

So, I’m in control of my direction however I may be disappointed about it and annoyed that I have to put more effort than I want to into something that isn’t impossible? Interesting.

Narrow Path: To dream of a dangerous path represents feelings about the direction in life you are taking being laid out for you while feeling it’s risky. Knowing how to proceed with a situation while feeling a sense of emotional danger for the future. A possible sign that your current direction in life needs to be reevaluated. Feelings about following a potentially dangerous course. 

Tripping: To dream of tripping over something represents problems or issues that weren’t expected. Poor foresight or not listening enough that caused an embarrassment.

My direction in life feels risky and may need to be reevaluated maybe because of the unexpected issues or problems?

Children: If you dream of children that you don’t recognize it represents new ideas, or situations that are being encouraged. Something not thought of before. Negatively, it may reflect burdens, responsibilities, or problems that have to be looked after. 

Both interpretations could be true.

Wheelchair: To dream of a wheelchair represents an emotional or psychological dependency on something to barely function.

This one threw me because it was a child I didn’t know in a wheelchair and this interpretation was if I was in the wheelchair. Really couldn’t find anything that made sense of this image. Thoughts?

Crawling: To dream of a crawling represents goals that are challenging your ability to complete them. Being forced to take your time or be careful about every single detail of a problem. It may also reflect a situation that is subjecting you to agonizing amounts of patience or “red tape.” 

Yep – completely accurate on both counts, especially since I’m looking at making blogging and more into a business.

Subterranean: To dream of something subterranean represents some area of your life that you don’t want noticed. A wish to hide something. Doing something privately or that doesn’t draw attention. 

Since I blog about my life and I’m being very open, this doesn’t add up. Not much to hide in my life 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Lumber (boards being moved at exit): To dream of seeing lumber represents a situation you feel you can do something about. Noticing that change or a fresh start is possible. Starting over, re-organizing, or rebuilding. Flexibility or an opportunity to change. Feelings about being able to rebuild yourself or rebuild your life with a resource.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner 😁. Most accurate interpretation yet.

Light: To dream of light represents clarity, illumination, understanding issues, guidance, or insight. It may also reflect inspiration. Perhaps, “light is being shed” on a difficult or confusing situation. 

Started out in control and disappointed ended on illumination and inspiration, quite the whirlwind dream 😊.

Doing this interpretation reminds me of Ron trying to interpret Harry’s tea leaves in The Prisoner of Azkaban (movie not the book) – “You’re going to suffer, but you’re going to be happy about it.” 🤣🤣🤣

Anyway, this is where I landed with things. Accurate or not, it was a great exercise in trying to make sense of the craziness that happens when I’m asleep.

Anyone else want to give it a go? As always sound off in the comments…
