just a little dream… (really long!)

So I’ve been having strange dreams lately and what’s surprising is that I remember them too! At the sight of a new day, I rarely remember what my unconscious self thought during the night. It all started two days ago when I woke up reminiscing on the sleeping thoughts I just received. From what I can remember, it was about me, my friends J, S, and C. We were in a car looking for something to do. We were bored out of our minds and were looking for something to occupy ourselves. Today, I decided to consult a dream dictionary.

Car
To dream that you are driving a car, denotes your ambition, your drive and your ability to navigate from one stage of your life to another. Consider how smooth or rough the car ride is. Whether you are driving the car or a passenger, is indicative of your active role or passive role in your life. If you are in the backseat of the car, then it indicates that you are putting yourself down and are allowing others to take over. This may be a result of low self-esteem or low self-confidence. Overall, this dream symbol is an indication of your dependence and degree of control you have on your life.

Friends
Signify aspects of your personality that have been developing and making you grow as a person. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself, so look to the friends you dreamed about for signals of personality traits they have that you desire in yourself, and work on those things. Additionally, dreaming of friends sometimes foretells that you will hear happy news from them.

And like with many dreams, they are never constant. The next script that came to me during my sleep was that I was pregnant. I thought maybe I had this dream was because a lot of people around me are getting pregnant. My friend A just had a baby, my coworker is pregnant, and my friend K just found out she’s pregnant. But what was weird about this dream was that I was supposedly 9 months pregnant and about to pop but my stomach was not that big. Was I having a midget baby? I will never know because I woke up right when my water broke in the dream.

Pregnant
To dream that you are pregnant, symbolizes an aspect of yourself or some aspect of your personal life that is growing and developing. You may not be ready to talk about it or act on it. This may also represent the birth of a new idea, direction, project or goal.

Birth
The birth of a human child is a universal symbol for good news, happiness, and/or a whole new life. The birth of twins or triplets indicates wealth. If the birth involved friendly animals such as dogs, cats, horses or dolphins, then allies who will be of great assistance to you soon surround you. The birth of scary animals, however, such as predators of all kinds, indicates the opposite: Your adversaries are gaining ground and you need to strengthen your resources.

So from the interpretation of my dreams, I’ll be getting good news and maybe developing a new idea? It doesn’t stop there.

Last night I had just as weird of a dream then the night before. From what I can remember, I woke up and got a phone call from my friend E to come with her to deliver a pillow to her friend. I told her that I have to be home early because I have a test at 10 am. She gets me home at 9:30 and I still had to shower. I take a quick shower and race out of my house. The road turns to sand and I see people playing around the sand. I get out of my car and pick it up like it’s a toy car. Then a small bridge appears and I try to cross it, but I’m a giant compared to the bridge and it crumbles sending me falling towards the water. Before I know it, my alarm signals me to wake up from this bizarre dream.

Pillow
If you see a pillow in your dream, it represents comfort, relaxation and luxury. It may indicate laziness or, conversely, a need to take it easy on yourself.

Late
To dream that you are late for something represents your fear of change and your anxiety about seizing an opportunity. You may feel unready or unworthy in your current circumstances. You may also be conflicted over decisions about your future.

Bridge
Bridges often signify travel and transitions. Dreaming of a bridge over water suggests that you could be conflicted in your emotions. If the bridge was unstable or collapsing, it could mean problems in a friendship or love relationship.

Giant
To dream that you turn into a giant, indicates feelings of inferiority.

Test
If you miss a test in a dream, you are worried that you don't have what it takes to accomplish something expected of you in real life.

From this interpretation, I have a fear of change and failure and also feel inferior and lazy. Also a friendship or a relationship will fail soon. These are extremely opposite dreams in two days. One night I dream I’ll be expecting good news, the next night I’ll be expecting a friendship to fail. What’s crazy was that in each night, every symbol in the dream tied together with each other. The first night, everything in the dream symbolizes something positive might happen, whereas last night everything symbolizes something negative might happen. It’s funny how dreams can be interpreted.
