I’ve been having this dream that I was driving along a dark, country-ish road in the middle of nowhere. All of a sudden, I realize I didn’t know how to drive. 
(I do in real life…I’ve had my license for a couple months now.) anyway, I manage to pull over, and I’m not in a car anymore. I’m in France, with my French class (which makes NO sense, b/c I take Spanish…) and We’re in this palace. I break away from my group, and get lost int his long maze of corridors. Someone keeps calling out my name, and it’s a guy. When I find him, he’s got weird gold eyes, and he he leans in…and then I wake up. This is a reoccuring dream, and it always breaks off at that point. Can anyone help with an interpretation? 
Hi JulesOnFire! Welcome to LD4all 
First of all, no one but yourself can find out what dreams really mean to you. This is because dreams are made out of elements of your own psyche, and no one can understand these better than you. However, I can give you what I’d interprete in case I had this dream. This interpretation is then ofcourse solely interpreted as seen from my own mental constitution, so it doesn’t have to mean anything to you… So for what it’s worth, this is how I’d interprete it in case I dreamed this dream:
Whenever I’m driving inside a dream, it’s often a symbol for my travels through life. Not always, but here it has this sense, especially because it’s on a dark countryside road “in the middle of nowhere”. This could mean I’m all alone in my travels… Perhaps I feel like I’m excluded from the rest of the world in my wandering through life? The darkness can point to that direction (darkness => coldness => loneliness).
Mmm the car is the vessel I use to take me through life. The sudden realization that I don’t know how to drive my “car of life” perhaps is a sign I was living my life unconsciously until now. The fact that I had my driving license already irl shows this symbolism isn’t about the actual driving license, but more about a symbolical driving license, the one you need for your car of life. Until now, I just followed the road (followed the crowd?)without really knowing what I’m doing. The realization of not being able to drive could point to a realization that I was unable to find the right way to handle my life without ever realizing this could be a problem. Now with this realization, perhaps time has come to change it into a positive direction? It could be a good sign that I managed to pull over before things got out of hand. Time to stop a moment in life and think about the things I’m doing… Shall I reflect more and come to a deeper understanding or shall I forget it and just drive off? The reoccuring nature of the dream at least points out that its message must be understood before one can proceed…
Perhaps it’s time to choose for a new language, or generally, to “expand my horizon”? Difficult to say what the palace means… Whenever I dream about these kind of buildings, they often represent my body, or parts of it (my heart or my psyche). I loose contact from the group which isn’t a good thing… The corridors could be the corridors of my psyche. Am I getting lost in my own mind? Perhaps I’m having troubles of finding my own identity… I might be overwhelmed by the countless facets of daily reality which created a massive labyrinth of corridors inside my mind, driving me mad in the end because I can’t get out anymore. There’s perhaps a connection with the previous fragment where I discovered I can’t really drive my car on the road of life… Another sign to step aside and carefully look over things perhaps? It could be time to change my habitual way of handling things. Time for a fresh wind through my life, body, mind and even soul.
Am I getting help from someone to help me through? The eyes are difficult to interprete… They seem to enforce the idea that this guy is here to help me: a golden light pulls me out of the dark countryside road I was first travelling; combine this with “the eyes are the mirrors of the soul” and it seems like this guy is really caring to help me. The fact that I always wake up after he leans in could be a sign that I have not accepted him yet or that he can’t help me at this point. I first need a bigger self-understanding by really getting off that road to reflect deeply on my situation before he’s able to help me. When I’ve succeeded in doing that, perhaps the dream continues then?
At first glance, this is how I might interprete it… Despite it’s based upon my dream language, I hope you can relate some of it to your own language. So hopefully it does help a bit!
Take care
Good explanation mystic. Jules, perhaps you can try to use the fact that it is a recurring dream to your advantage. Try to tell yourself before sleeping that if the dream happens again, you will know it is a dream and become lucid (you could use this phrase like a mantra as in MILD). You can then ask the DC’s in your dream for advice, why they are there, what they mean, or whatever comes up in your mind to ask.
Thanks, to both of you. That interpretation actually makes a lot of sense, and did help. I’ll try my dream as a reality check. (Again, really good suggestions!)
Thanks,
-Jules-
