The dream begins where I am outside a hotel, it resembles a local apartment complex I had been to once at 13 where an older guy (about 21) was trying to get with me but i had denied his advances. As i walk from the front of the hotel/apartments i step off the curb into the parking lot, I feel comfortable but there is a lot of cars, a large van passes me as I walk down the street and its so close to me it almost pins me between it and another van that is parked in the roadway and not moving. When the van passes I see a severed leg, female looking, possibly with a tattoo on it, laying on the ground. I feel repulsed and I try not to look at it, but the wind or something is making it roll towards me, Its blurry at this point what happened but the next vivid view is this: I approach my car, it looks just as it does in real life, but there are rotting sardines or some sort of fish, laying all over the ground. I'm frightened of them and try to get into my car without touching them but as i step near them they transfer onto my legs, sticking and beginning to fall apart, I'm so repulsed I keep trying to just get them off, the scales are sticking underneath my leg hair, theres rotting fish oil and fish blood sticking to my legs and foot. I finally get into the car and drive off, only to end up on a street that in real life is a road I travel every time I leave my boyfriends house, and there is a fire truck in front of me. For no reason at all i get out of my car and again I am trapped between two vehicles, this time another fire truck in my car and it again drives so close i almost become squished between the two, im not scared, im annoyed that theyre driving so close and i put my hands up like i can somehow push the car away. then I woke up. and felt annoyance at the men in the cars and i havent been able to forget the leg. Any interpretation would be greatly appreciated! I am 21 years old, female and live in north florida. I live with my mother and two younger brothers who are just entering teenage years. I have a boyfriend I have been with for 5 years. I have 5 cats, 1 dog, my boyfriend has one dog one cat who im very attached to. The stressors in my life are my brothers education, keeping my relationship together, and my boyfriend is going overseas for a month on the 1st of may.
The dream seems to be about you feeling trapped in an unbearable situation. The fact that the dream brings back memories of the time when an older guy tried to get with you relates to this. If you were 13 and he was 21, you didn't have that much control, did you? The rotting fish make me think of a disgusting situation that you are trying to get out of. This also relates to a misogynistic way of describing women's "private bits", and with the female leg and the childhood experience, there may be something sexual about this dream - but all negative, unfortunately. Maybe this could have something to do with your younger brothers and their speech, behavior at their age, combined with all the other things that are stressing you.
