Dreams and Visions-Dream: Dreaming About Dreaming Page 2

James' Interpretation:
Andrew's dream begins with driving. Driving in a dream
can represent striving toward a goal, or his path in life,
and how he is progressing and moving forward. Andrew
being the passenger can suggest that he may not be in a
position in which he is control, and can say that he is
"going along for the ride." This position can suggest that
Andrew might need to assume more control over a
particular area of his life.
Mary being the driver is saying that she is an influence
that Andrew is carrying with him in life.
The car in the dream is a car that his friend Mary used to
own. This can suggest something regarding the past that
is once again at work in Andrew's present life. Andrew
may actually have to consider a time period when Mary
actually owned the car as a reference point, as this might
be some kind of trigger.
Cars can also represent our careers. This might suggest
that Andrew might be lacking "drive" as far as his
working life is concerned.
Cars can also indicate the physical body. Here, the words
used to describe the car stand-out: old, beat-up, and blue.
I tend to believe that everything in a dream represents
the dreamer, so in this sense, Andrew is the car. In some
ways, he is seeing himself as "old;" he may be "beating
himself up" in other ways. I would question if Andrew is
taking care of himself, in terms of his physical health, as
the words "beat up" is saying his body is beat up, or
suffering from some form of damage (lack of care) to it.
The car being blue, when viewed in this context, is saying
"I am blue." This could suggest Andrew being sad at the
time of the dream, may be in connection to a past event
(again, the car being an old car of Mary's). Blue is also
indicative of one's approach to life, as well as being the
color connected to the throat chakra. This could be
questioning Andrew as to whether he is saying the things
he needs to say to people when he needs to say them (a
possible sign of communication issues).
Also, the fact the car is a Cavalier can suggest Andrew
might be "cavalier" in life (I looked up cavalier in the
dictionary: chivalrous, arrogant, disdainful, haughty, and
carefree). He might need to consider in what ways has he
been, or is being, cavalier.
