So first of hello all. I normally get confusing or weird dreams, in fact, whenever I remember my dreams, they usually stand out only to be forgotten later in the day. Well here goes...

It starts off at a gas station downtown, which now mysteriously has been moved around a bit. The gas station was now right on the corner (as opposed to being away from the street, it was basically street, sidewalk, building) and now had a larger parking lot than I've ever seen a gas station with. Thinking back to the images I've never seen the place before, yet for some reason my mind's telling me it's this place I pass all the time downtown.

So I pull into the parking lot, and park in the second row I come too, get out, and next thing I know I'm talking to my mom about something I can't recall. She mentions my car so I go back to the parking lot, and my car is gone. I check the entire lot about five times still to see it missing. After telling her, and checking the lot even more, I call the police. I get as far as "my car has been stolen" when she insists I hand her the phone, so I let her talk and go search more. Next thing I know, this big pickup truck moves, and bam there's my mom and my car. She's laughing because she apparently knew it was there the whole time. So I go and get upset with her, then drive off.

Next thing I know I'm what appears to be the local Round Table, which has apparently gown a few floors. I'm on the second floor with a friend (no one I recognize, yet in the dream I felt I knew him like I do any of my friends), and a third person I never really see in the arcade. I want my friend to come see something, but he doesn't want to leave the game he's playing, some kind of Tetris like game...looked like Puzzle Fighter. He comes and I end up saying that he had just missed it, and he looks at me funny and gets mad I stopped his game. I give him a quarter and move on.

Next I head to the third floor, where there are a few circular tables very close to the floor. There are about 4 people at the one I approach, one was my dad, I never looked at the others. Everyone stands to let me get around the table (which was in a corner) to my seat in back. When I get there, I notice a flame on the table go out, and hear what sounds like my step-moms voice say "good job it went out." I'm told to hold the gas, which turns out to be a large pedal like thing on the bottom of the table. After a few tries we seem to reignite what appears to be a cone-shaped BBQ sitting on top of the table. I notice we're all sitting around the table cross-legged each using our left foot to hold a gas pedal.

Here's the part that scared me. I'm suddenly sitting at a small circular table, still close to the floor, Japanese style. Usually it's a square table in Japan where you sit on your knees on a cushion so I'm unaware as to why the table was circular. There are only two people in view for me, but others at the table. These are not the same people as before. One is at the table behind ours, sitting with their back to me. The other is an asian woman, wearing older asian-style garments and a small straw hat sitting to my left. She looks depressed, so I tell her not to get that way, because she'll become a small scary girl (referring to ones like in the Grudge and the Ring) I seem to be taking it lightly. So I reach over with chopsticks in my right hand, and before they touch her I see a glimpse of one of those horrifying girls and a voice whispers "Wing." Next I can no longer talk, and my breathing starts to get more short, complicated, and forced. I take the chopsticks and hold them extremely tightly and point them at my throat, apparently intending to kill myself with them though I am unsure as to why, all while starting at the woman. Next I feel two hand wrap around my throat from behind. All goes black and I can hear my breathing for a moment, gasping for air. Then I wake up.

Hi and Welcome!

Before we get into the scary part of the dream, I want to mention what I noticed before that. There's the car incident with your mother. She betrayed your trust and acted cruel and irresponsible. Do you know anyone who acted that way toward you recently?

Also, there's a lot of circles and things that can be associated with cars. After the missing car incident, there was the gas pedals under the round tables at the Round Table. You didn't want the woman to become like the girl in The Ring. Wheels and steering wheels are circular or round. And the BBQ was cone shaped. This made me think of cones that mechanics use that are used to pour in oil in cars.

So, is there something happening in your life currently that involves cars? I dont' mean mundane everyday driving or routine maintenance, but are you looking to buy one? Are you in the process of trying for your license?

Well for someone being cruel and irresponsible, my supervisor at work has really been harping on me, and singling me out over the rest of the crew. It actually came to the point where I had to call my union rep on him, so that could be related.

I should've been a bit more specific with the BBQ, the flat end was down, and it was more like a circulkar trapezoid. Also the pedals under the table weren't exactly like car gas pedals, it was more like one big curcular thing that went around the base of the table, that had to be pressed in to keep the BBQ working.

There's really nothing car related going on at this time in my life either.

Well, at least we seemed to have got somewhere with the first part of the dream being a representation of your supervisor.

The part where you at the table at the Round Table could have something to do with cooperation and working as a team. A "round table" is often thought of as a discussion of ideas. And in the dream you all cooperate with getting the BBQ to work. Could cooperation and discussing ideas also be work related?

I didn't see The Grudge, but I did see The Ring. The little girl in it has the power to destroy people. I get the feeling you know somebody like that.

The ring in the film is the cover of a well that's closed. This could also have to do with the conflicts at work. Are you experiencing "closed in" or "trapped" feelings? The choking sensation in the dream could be a metaphor for that.
