There's a fair bit missing now, forgot to write it down, FuckThursday has a tendency to make this happen, but I remember the 2 important bits. 1) is my niece. 2) is the CarFather. Oh yeah, you hear right, but that's the end though.
The prominent part about my niece is that, in our haste to escape (from what or why I don't remember) we left her in the other car. My mother was driving, my brother in the passenger seat, and me in the back after switching vehicles, and we left her in the broken down car. My own brother forgot his child, left her in her car seat, and tried to flee. Psychologists, enjoy your field day.
However, I screamed at my Mum to stop the car, and dashed to get her (possibly risking my own life to whatever we were running from). Turns out she was fast asleep though, and I actually woke her up, and scared her for a moment... As she told me. My niece isn't even a year old and while IRL she knows a handful of words, in my dream she actually spoke to me in coherent sentences. O_o
~several work hours later... While the bosses are away~
I have no idea what she was babbling about, only that we have a very indepth conversation about things while I was getting her out of her car seat (which, for some extra messed up reason, required a key to undo) and carried her to the other vehicle. She wasn't as scared as everyone else was thought, she was actually quite rational about the whole situation, and very insightful too.
I forget a lot inbetween, have since I woke up, but the end of my dream I remember quite clearly because it was the funniest and most vivid part of my dream.
~the next morning~
I know, I'm terrible. Its hard to find time to write blogs amongst everything, hence why nothing's been updated aside from via Formspring. I also keep getting distracted. Stupid ADHD.
Anyway, yes, second part of dream is very vivid, I remember a beach, a nice little secluded white beach at the end of the road. Kinda like Henley Beach where me and K used to drive all the time, only more private. No houses right on the foreshore, they were all a few hundred metres back kinda like at Semaphore. And it was a perfectly silent afternoon, red sunset, a few birds but nothing else.
And as I stood there taking it in, there came faint strands of music... A tune that seemed familiar and yet new at the same time. And as it grew louder I realized it was coming from behind me... getting louder and closer, I guess. I walked a few metres up the road, and there was a... parade, I guess you could call it, marching down the street.
I can't remember now exactly what it was, but I have a feeling it was furniture somehow marching down the street disney-esque (Fantasia) style, and each one carried a single car part. I remember being in shock and awe at the same time as I watched them march onto the beach. I think I tried to ask them what they were doing, but furniture doesn't talk. Well not verbally anyway, but as soon as I followed them I saw what was going on...
As the music got louder and clearer, I noticed a car floating towards the short. A little grey VW Beetle, aka Herbie, but stripped of most parts. No doors and no bonnet were the most obvious, but no seats or anything inside, and I was sure that all unnecessary parts were gone from places I couldn't see too. Though obviously enough was still present that this 'sentient' car could still move under its own willpower.
I remember watching it 'swim' towards shore, and all this furniture bowing reverently, prostrating themselves as the Beetle got closer, and the music got more vivid. I was wide eyed and slack jawed for a moment as I took it all in. And then it occurred to me what was going on... This old (grey) beetle was the "CarFather", the GodFather (mafia figure) and he was coming to see me.
I couldn't help it, as soon as I figured it out and the name CarFather went through my head, I started giggling. One of the closest pieces 'glared' at me, and that only made me wanna lol harder. I remember covering my mouth and trying my best but I couldn't hold it in. As soon as I went to fall over laughing though, my alarm went off and I was startled away before I could upset the furniture any further, or get in trouble for disrespecting the CarFather.
The fact that I can remember all this, bar the actual music/song playing, 24 hours later even without writing it down is completely remarkable. I don't like analyzing my dreams anymore, as fun as it might be to interpret this one, so I'm just going to leave this as lol-worthy and be done with it. XD

To dream of escape from injury, an animal, or from any situation, signifies your good health and prosperity. You will experience a favourable turn of events. To dream that you are riding in an automobile, signifies, that even in pleasant situations, you will still be restless and uneasy. Dreaming about forgetting your niece seems to confirm this, as it seems you are worried that your brother may not be up to the task of fatherhood. It's likely that your niece been able to speak coherently is your subconscious reminding you that she is more aware than you may think (child psychologists have argued this for generations).
ReplyDeleteTo see a key in your dream, symbolizes opportunities, access, control, secrets, freedom, knowledge or responsibilities. You may be locking away your own inner feelings and emotions. Or you are unlocking the answer to some problem.
As for her been calm, I am reminded of a poem by Rudyard Kipling entitle "If..." -
'If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
...Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!" (obviously, the gender is not important here). Maybe, that was your self telling yourself to keep a level head when it seems that all around you is falling apart.
To see your niece in your dream represents some aspect of yourself that you need to acknowledge or recognize within yourself.
To see the beach in your dream, symbolizes the meeting between your two states of mind. The sand is symbolic of the rational and mental processes while the water signifies the irrational, unsteady, and emotional aspects of yourself. It is a place of transition between the physical/material and the spiritual.
The rest, just sounds to me like you've been watching too much Disney... lol, CarFather. I think that was more just your mind, having told you what it needed to, now taking the time to relax.
And that's the best I can do, to interpret your dream. Hope it's useful,
