Rain and car

Hello everyone,

Two nights ago, I dreamed that I was in the company of my friend and his parents; the people in my dream did not physically resemble who they are in real life. As I was about to leave, I said goodbye to them, and a natural need compelled me to re-enter their house (the parents'). When I entered the house and found myself in a room, I realized it was raining inside. I did not feel wet from the rain, but the furniture and all the objects looked wet. My attention was drawn to a light brown wardrobe whose base was cut at an angle, following the slope of the floor; I seem to remember that the slant was from right to left. I was ready to leave, and my friend and I exchanged affectionate and intimate kisses. The man I was kissing did not look at all like the person I know. But in my dream, I knew it was indeed him.

I get into my car, which has nothing to do with the one I own in real life, except that it is the same color (metallic navy blue); it resembles those small, license-plate-free cars. I don’t understand why I find myself sitting in the passenger seat, with a friend at the wheel, yet when I look at her, she doesn’t resemble anyone I know in my life. She tells me she’s going to give me back my seat. She tries to pull over, but there’s no place on the road to pull onto the shoulder. So she decides that we’ll swap seats at the red light in front of an aqueduct. Since the road is sloped, she uses the parking brake. As I’m getting out of the car, the car slides because the parking brake isn’t working, and I had to hold it in place until my friend walked around to the other side. When I try to get back in through the driver’s side door, I have to move the car because it was pressed up against another driver’s car waiting at the red light. As I sit down to reach the pedals, I realize she had placed a navy blue coat under the pedals, which is actually my son’s coat. Annoyed by this initiative, I had to tidy up the car before resuming the drive, and that’s when my dream abruptly ends.

Thanks in advance to whoever can find an explanation for this dream, which seems full of lessons yet complex at the same time. This isn’t the first time I’ve dreamed of people I know who, in my dreams, bear no resemblance to their real-life selves.

Hello Josy,

Rain, foretold in dreams, signifies sadness and sorrows; difficult days are ahead, though they should be of short duration.

Happy Sunday
The magician.

Thank you Lemagicien for your reply

And have a good Sunday to you too

But still, what on earth does it mean to dream about people we know, interact with, and who ultimately bear no resemblance to their real selves in our dreams? It’s really strange.

Hello Josy,

Seeing people who bear no resemblance to those you know reflects your fears about your loved ones in dreams; that is why you do not recognize them, as you find it difficult to imagine that something could happen to them.

Warm regards
The magician.

Hello Lemagicien,

Thank you for enlightening me on this aspect.

But then you’re making me react to that famous friend who’s driving my car, because I don’t even know who she is. My friend and his parents were identifiable, even if they didn’t look alike, but this woman? You're going to think, Oh Josy and her little details! You see, I like to understand every little detail. Sorry if I’m bothering you :-[

Thanks in advance, and have a good Sunday again

Hello Josy,

This friend, who was not one at the time of the dream, represents, according to my analysis, a person unknown to date, but someone you will meet and who will come to your aid in case of need.
In that dream, she was acting as a guardian angel!

Friendship
The magician

Hello Lemagicien,

Thank you for this new clarification. Ultimately, it seems that this dream, although complex and active, does not suggest anything very serious in itself. Moreover, what a joy to know that I have a guardian angel who will protect me.

See you soon

Two nights ago, I dreamed that I was with my friend and his parents; the people in my dream did not physically resemble who they are in real life.

(the fact that they don't look like real-life people is a symbol for you to discover)..

As I was leaving, I said goodbye to them, and a natural need compelled me to go back inside their house (the parents').

As I mentioned, the house represents the soul. Your soul is yours... Rain is the trial that purifies the soul. Initiated fecundity is distributed by the angel that the raindrop carries in your dream. In general, rain represents emotional adversity, a risk of breakup, the exam to pass in order to adapt to a love.

When I come home and find myself in a room (you can name the room in the house), I realize it is raining inside. I didn't feel wet from the rain, but the furniture and all the objects looked wet.

Furniture represents the feelings that furnish the dreamer's life; however, Josy, one must still analyze the quality and style of the furniture, such as its color, for they reveal the inner self, the education, the social standing of the personality approaching you, and their sincerity.

By way of example only: style furniture reveals a conventional, classy personality that loves with restraint; contemporary, rich furniture denotes a well-educated person capable of loving healthily; old and outdated furniture denotes a person who is not adapted to new ideas and is incapable of loving with freshness, and who will provide little satisfaction in life, unless the antique furniture is valuable and the piece is clean.

My attention was drawn to a light brown wardrobe whose base was cut at an angle, following the slope of the floor; I seem to remember that the slant ran from right to left. The wardrobe is a maternal and sexual symbol, evoking a desire to be protected.

Here I am, ready to leave, and my friend and I are exchanging affectionate and intimate kisses. The man I am kissing does not look at all like the person I know. But in my dream, I know it is indeed him. You know the definition of a known man, etc…

I get into my car, (the car symbolizes and informs you about images of your self; this one informs you about your personal growth and its development through the motivations and emotions in which you are involved in your process of individuation) which has nothing to do with the one I own in real life, not even in color (metallic navy blue); it resembles those small, license-exempt cars. I don't understand, because I find myself sitting in the passenger seat (yes, being the passenger in your own car actually signifies that you must take back control of your life, as it is being driven by another woman, a part of yourself that is informing you about how you are driving your current life; that is why this woman is at the wheel of your vehicle). And in the driver's seat is a friend, but looking at her, she does not resemble anyone I know in my life. She tells me, "I will give you your seat back." The message is very clear (you must take back your place, Josy).

She tries to pull over, but there is no place on the road to pull off to the side. So she decided that we would swap places at the red light in front of an aqueduct. Since the road is sloped, she uses the handbrake. As I get out of the car, the car slides because the handbrake doesn't work, and I had to hold it in place while my friend went around. When I try to get back in through the driver's side door, I had to move the car because it was stuck against another driver's car waiting at the red light. When I sit down to reach the pedals, I realize that she had placed a navy blue coat under the pedals, which is actually my son's coat. Annoyed by this initiative, I had to tidy up the car before resuming the drive, and that's when my dream abruptly ends.

As for the rest, I believe you are more than capable of completing the analysis of your wonderful dream... a dream of awakening, and you must take your place again, Josy.

Thank you in advance to whoever can find an explanation for this dream, which seems full of lessons yet complex at the same time. This is not the first time I have dreamed of people I know who, in my dreams, bear no resemblance to reality.

Hello dear Rolande,

Sorry for the late reply to your analysis, I’ve been a bit overbooked lately.

I am getting back to you to share my thoughts based on your analysis.

(the fact that they don't look like real-life people is a symbol for you to discover)..

It seems that I no longer have the same perspective on the people in question, with whom I had been very emotionally close.

As I mentioned, the house represents the soul. Your soul is yours... Rain is the trial that purifies the soul. Initiatic fecundity is distributed by the angel that the raindrop carries in your dream. In general, rain represents emotional adversity, a risk of breakup, the exam to pass in order to adapt to a love.

Regarding the home of the people I mentioned above, don’t you think it refers to their soul (rain)? Due to certain events and their behavior, which I did not appreciate, my decision is to create emotional distance between them and me. I can clarify that this is exactly what is happening in my head right now; it is a decision I have made and continue to make. So, indeed, one could think of a break to put my relationships with them and their son, my friend, into perspective.

When I come home and find myself in a room, Can you name the room in the house? I realize it’s raining inside; I didn’t feel like I was getting wet from the rain, but the furniture and all the objects looked wet.

It would be difficult for me to name the exact piece in question, as there were different pieces of furniture that can be placed in a bedroom, a living room, or a kitchen, with a very small window in the upper part of the wall. Curiously, these disparate pieces of furniture in different colors, along with that small window, would somewhat resemble, without quite resembling, the insides of the people I am telling you about.

Furniture represents the feelings that furnish the dreamer's life; however, Josy, one must also analyze the quality and style of the furniture, such as its color, as these reveal the inner self, education, social standing, and sincerity of the personality approaching oneself.

Given that the furniture does not belong to me, I think, unless I am mistaken, that it corresponds more to the interiority, education, social status, personality, and sincerity of the people in question.

Old and outdated furniture indicates a person who is not open to new ideas and is unable to love with freshness, and who will bring little satisfaction in life, unless the antique furniture is valuable and the piece is clean..

It really makes me think, in the end, of the attitude of my friend and his parents, because it is true that their affection brings little freshness and satisfaction to life.

My attention was drawn to a light brown wardrobe whose base was cut at an angle, following the slope of the floor; I seem to recall that the slant was from right to left. The wardrobe is a maternal and sexual symbol, evoking a desire to be protected.

On this specific point, I am hesitant, given the approach outlined above. Could we consider that this wardrobe represents me: a maternal and sexual symbol, evoking a desire to be protected? What do you think?

Here I am, ready to leave, and my friend and I are exchanging affectionate and intimate kisses. The man I’m kissing doesn’t look at all like the person I know. But in my dream, I know it’s really him. You know the definition of a known man, etc.

I am taking up your definitions:

• For a woman: dreaming of a stranger forces her to see the personality of the man she is currently involved with in a different light
• Dreaming of a man with whom one experienced a great love and from whom one separated for serious reasons: places the dreamer in the same situation at the present moment with another person.
  In the end, I see my friend’s personality in a different light, and it seems there might be another man in my life?

To conclude, I truly want to take back control of my life, and I need to find my place again. I am tired of making concessions with people who bring me nothing in return, not even satisfaction, only dissatisfaction and trouble, while I give so much and receive nothing positive in return.

It is a fact that, more often than not, I have allowed myself to be overwhelmed by the behavior of others out of generosity and love. Once I feel betrayed or disappointed, a period of instability sets in, accompanied by depression and withdrawal into myself. Then one morning I wake up and tell myself this is enough, it has gone on long enough, I must take control of myself, and I resume my life, continue on my way, with a different perspective on the people in question, without looking back. Is this a survival instinct? By the way, a therapist I was speaking with told me it is incredible the mental and psychological recovery capacity you have; one thinks you are at the bottom of the abyss, and yet you climb back up as if by magic. Your character is becoming more defined and stronger each time. It is true that, alongside all this, I have a strong personality.

Here is, dear Rolande, do you think my conclusions are close to the truth?

Thank you for your analyses, which help us get to know ourselves better. It is always a pleasure to exchange our analyses with you. Please know that I truly appreciate it.

Kisses

Wowwwwwwwwww, my dear Josy, what a beautiful analysis you are doing of yourself… and the psychologist is right, you have excellent resilience factors… yes, madam, extraordinary resilience. Hope in yourself is a great wisdom. Bravooooooo, here is a good definition of introspection… I like it, because there is a strong sense of responsibility toward yourself. I am amazed by your introspection… that is how dream analysis is done, Josy… (what is called the process of individuation) one’s own feelings, one’s own thoughts in connection with one’s life, and if you follow your dreams closely, you will see that they follow each other…

Your conclusions are getting closer to your own truth, Josy, not to mine or anyone else's, but to your own truth in your life, your everyday life and the parallel one, your dreams.

Honestly, I have nothing to add, Josy, regarding your own analysis of... I sincerely believe that you fully understand all of its content, and that’s great.

Bravo
