Good morning! I wanted to tell you about my recurring dreams. They are not exactly recurring, but I get very similar situations. I often have flying dreams, which makes me wake up with unbelievably good and elevated mood. However, more often I get a lot of dreams like these: Being publicly naked - most of the time I feel ashamed, however nobody else seems to notice or care. I'm just there trying to cover up and stressing out, when no one else is even paying attention. Mostly it happens like this - I'm doing something and then I suddenly realize that I am completely naked. Driving a car - First of all, I don't own a car in real life. I'm not a good driver either, but I have had a passion for cars since I was about 5 years old, according to my dad. In the dreams, I'm always the driver, always alone in the car. Once I was driving over a flooded bridge, another time up the stairs, etc. Being unable to walk - it feels as if I was completely drunk, but had a clear mind. My waist down wouldn't work in the dream and I wouldn't be able to run or walk away from the person catching me. Sometimes the guy catching me was my mom's ex-husband, who I disliked, but had little contact with. He would never catch me, but I would never be able to run away either. Sometimes I'm just by myself on the street unable to get up from the ground. Being unable to speak or scream. I'm 22, but it seems as if I have bad dreams too often. Lots of nightmares and negative feelings. Lately I've been getting worms or ants eating away the flesh under my skin or crabs laying eggs in my hair and then hatching.. Really horrifying and exhausting... Does anyone have any explanations? How do I get rid of nightmares like these? Thanks in advance!!
The symbols in the dreams you posted seems very "classic"-like dreamed by many others before, however combined in an atypical way. Being naked in public usually means that you fear that everybody can see your flaws and weaknesses or the fear of drawing a mental "blank" while speaking in public. I think the car is really interesting since it seems to represent a very strong side of your personality, it helps you over the flooded bridge (difficult transition in life) and up the stairs (spiritual enlightentment, carreer). Being unable to walk: Many people dream about walking on slippery or sticky surfaces, having their feet nailed/glued to the floor. In your case your mothers ex-husband represents an unpleasent time in your past that you have difficulties to run away from. Try to identify "the car" part of your personality and use this strenght more, your dreams may change, and you may be able to drive away from the bugs. Also try to face your past instead of running from it. I hope this was in any way useful.
I read in a book about dreams once that the act of driving in a dream represents being in control of your life where as being the passenger represents not being in control and the driver being a domineering individual in your life. plus I live under your bed sculpting these nightmares cuz im the boogeyman so thats why you have those
