dream 2/2/06

I'm driving and it's nighttime. I drive up a road between two buildings and see smoke pouring out of one of them and the other is ablaze. I'm directed by someone directing traffic to take a detour. Then I find myself on foot and I'm walking down a road (it's still nighttime) and I feel apprehensive about walking alone at night.

Then I'm in my dad's pick-up truck. Not his in reality, this one is huge and a deep blue color (kind of like this board ) I go past my friend Richard's house (not his in reality either). I see many cars parked out front and fear he may have died. In reality, he has AIDS. I pull up and a strange woman comes out of the house and tells me that Richard's mother has passed away. I say how sorry I am when a man is driving off in the truck.

I yell, "Hey, that's my dad's truck!" The woman tells me that she thinks he's only borrowing it. She says that the man gave her his business card and I ask to see it and she refuses. I try to grab it out of her hand and I plead with her to give it to me. I get frustrated and say that I'm going to call the cops anyway.

End

That's well described, I can really imagine myself in that dream.

I think different buildings can represent diefferent parts of your unconscious, just like different rooms in a house can do the same, depending on what the buildings are. Do you know what the buildings were used for?

I know fire can be good or bad depending on what it's doing, which I guess is being kind of distructive in this case - like some aspect of your life represented by the buildings is causing a lot of distructive worry or stress. Maybe you are either hoping to avoid these situations or your subconscious is trying to tell you to avoid them, take a detour or find a less stressful way to deal with them.

I think because one of the buildings is only smoking at the moment that it may suggest the possibility, or potential for stress in that area.

I guess you've thought about most of this already though, I know you're pretty good at this stuff so I don't want to suggest too much.

I'm glad I gave you an adventure!

I think the dream was about frustration and anxiety. The burning buildings were in my best guess financial institutions. I am in debt, which is a metaphor for money "going up in smoke. This is causing me anxiety about rent, the high cost of oil, and just uncertainty in general.

I'm patiantly waiting for a follow up dream about good fortune!
