had this dream every night for last 2 weeks well it starts off, i am with my family 8 of us i am the only child (i am 15,male) and i am told that i should take the other car because there isn't enough space... needless to say, i cant drive but for the purposes of this dream i can except the brakes don't work and for some non nonsensical reason when i press them i go round in circles... i eventually get to the place where my family are its a park, i am walking and then a little kid walks into me and suddenly two "chavs" start shouting then one of them kicks me in the shins and i don't know why , the kid then scream and i look down and a teddy bear is resting in the crook of my elbow i give it back instantly but the "chavier" lank haired, hook nosed paltry chav kicks me in the shin.... it doesn't hurt though i am don't care that it doesn't hurt though cos i am scared btw in the dream i am considerately taller, though i am 6", in this dream i am allot taller
The brakes not working and making you go around in circles probably has to do with you feeling that you aren't in control of things. It makes sense at your age, because you aren't really a child anymore but at the same time, your parents still have a lot of control over thins in your life. I think getting the teddy bear in the dream relates to this. The chavs fighting with you could represent conflicts that you have within yourself. Growing taller in the dream could have to do with maturing emotionally.
Hey Aprotos I usually interpret the car as your passage through life, and it seems to fit here. Up until now you have been riding in your families car - but this is coming to an end as you begin the process of separating from your families direction and find your own life, you must start using the other car, which you will drive (ie you will take control of your own life and life direction). Why don't the brakes work? I think it is life keeps going around you regardless of what you are doing - and this is part of the point of the dream. If you do try and delay, you may miss oppurtunities, and you will end up circling and not going down any particular road. It is a time for driving - making decisions about what to do with your life and going for it, not delaying humming and harring. There are lots of intersections in the road, and if you do take a long turn you CAN right your course later. The second part of the dream seems to me to be talking about maturing and handing over the teddybear / giving up childhood. It is quite likely from my reading that you unconsciously revert back to childish ways (being surprised to find the teddy in your arm). The boys picking on you / teasing you might be because of this tendency - which you don't understand because you are not consciously aware that you are doing it. At a guess the big change at this point in your life is the shift from dependence on your parents, to responsibility. The scenario I described above is not uncommon, as you brain has been trained to be dependent on others (in fact I see it as epidemic among a lot of older people) but now you need some significant event to change the way you think, to being responsible to deal with issues / fix things that come up in your life. I think you are trying to do this as you hand the bear over. It just needs to happen on an unconscious level - so when you do get that feeling that you don't understand why people are "kicking you in the shins" or some kind of teasing, could it relate to this? Might help you understand what is going on. Hope that helps, I may be way off, only you will know the true meaning of the dream, by when you have what I call the "OMG moment". Cheers, Rook Oh and your height, I would say the dream was accentuating that you are too big to be acting this way / clutching teddys.
