Ok...

I currenly in the process of moving out of state from the midwest to florida, just to understand the current situation in my life. So as you can imagine I am in the middle of packing up my stuff and getting ready to move.

Now.... To the Dream!

I had this dream last night that has been bothering me all day. I dreamt that before I was gonna be able to move to Florida, I had to move to St Louis first and that I was only gonna have to live there for a short while with my parents (which dont even live in St Louis, and never have).

So, I move to St Louis where there is always snow on the ground. (about an inch or two) I get a job there. And to get to this job I have to travel a long road there. I never seem to travel back home, but i am always going to work. To get to work, I go down this road. At the church, there is a fork in the road and i have to turn left. I follow this road to the stoplights which is a long way away. At the stop lights the road makes an abrupt turn to the left before you go through the lights. I always get stopped at the stoplight. At the intersection, there is a restaraunt district where people are always dining outside. (in the snow) As I stop at the light, the people that are dining around outside are checking me out, everytime i stop at the light which is everytime i go to work. The light finally turns green, and after traveling a long way again I am to turn right on Fire Springs road. ( i looked on the internet and never did find a Fire Springs road on the internet when i woke up)

I never seem to arrive like in a parking lot to park my car. But I just somehow 'get' to work. Inside the office it was dimly lit almost like a funeral home would be. It was never clear what i did at my job, I just went there.

Like i said, I never seemed to go through the trip to go home. I just somehow 'got' home. When I got home (at my parents' house which resembled identically the home I grew up in) my dad would always tell me that i left my car doors open and that it was snowing and that i needed to close them. Everytime I would go outside to close my car doors, I would go out there with no shoes on but I would have my socks on. The odd thing was, I never noticed that i had my socks on until the snow would melt under my socks and make them wet. (which is a feeling that I truly hate in real life. Wet socks are gross feeling)

Now, here is the REALLY FREAKY part. First off this dream was EXTREMELY VIVID. I woke up after having this dream in sort of a dazed state. I did not even know where i was for a couple of minutes or so. Once I figured out where I was, it took me a couple more minutes or so to get myself together before I could proceed to get up and get a drink of water and use the restroom. It was 4am when i woke up, and once i 'got it together' i had this really eerie feeling that this dream meant something. I then went back to sleep for a few more hours.

Now, I did not do any drugs nor did i drink any alchohol before going to bed. I have not done drugs in a long time, and the last time i drank was saturday night. I am not on any type of prescription or over the counter medicine either.

I spent most of the day attempting to find some sort of meaning to this dream by looking on the internet with some luck. I know what the individual symbols mean in the dream (IE - snow, long road, open doors, etc) But, I can not seem to stitch any of the meanings together to mean something. On the subject of St Louis - I have been there several times, and i know a girl that is about my age that lives there. I also like her alot and perhaps if we did not live far apart we could have a relationship together.

Please if you have any ideas what this dream might suggest, please reply! This is really really bothering me!


Thanks!

I don't know exactly why you woke up in a dazed state. Sometimes when you wake up in the middle of the night, your blood sugar or blood pressure can be low which can make you feel weird. Also sometimes you just wake up only partially, and it takes a while to fully wake up. Some people hallucinate a little while after they have woken up.Some people become physically paralyzed for a little while. It doesn't have anything to do with being on drugs, it's just the way the brain works.

I think that dreaming that you have to move to St. Louis before you move to Florida is a way of telling yourself that before you achieve a certain goal that you want, there is something else you have to do first. The fact that St. Louis weather isn't as pleasant as Florida weather is a way of saying that to achieve something pleasant, you have to do somehard work first (trudge throught the snow).

Getting stopped at the stoplight could also stand for obstacles that you have to face in life. But a stoplight doesn't keep you stopped for ever, it changes to green and then you move on, and eventually get to work, which shows that you can get by whichever obstacles there are.

The people looking at you could have to do with a fear of how you will appear to others, or they could be different aspects of yourself, observing your own behaviour.

Do the words 'fire' or 'spring' mean anything special to you? You might want to try free associating.

The part about your father leaving the car door open and going out in the snow without your shoes sounds like you are afraid of leaving something unfinished.

I think you may have dreamed about St. Louis because it's a place you associate with snowy weather; I don't know if the dream has anything to do with the girl.
