I wondered if anyone could give me some interpretation of a dream hubby had last night as it's really affected him today.
He was driving a car with the four of us inside, and I got out with Rachel as he pulled up at a corner, and then he carried on, with James in the back. He came to some type of car park which was really slippery and he struggled to control the car. He carried on and came to another car park-type place which was just as slippery, and started to slide. But it was sloping downwards and he continued to slide down, and ended up falling into some kind of water (swamp).
The car was sinking and he managed to get out of his seat, but then he climbed into the back of the car to try to get James out of his car seat but it was stuck. The inside of the car was full of water and they were both submerged and he was trying desperately to free James with fear and panic, when he literally forced himself to open his eyes to wake up.
The images have left him a little disturbed today so I wondered if anyone could help with its possible meaning. He's been working away from home for a week and then he only gets to see us for this weekend before he's working away again and the kids and I go on a trip for a week. I wondered if it could be connected with this in some way.
Many thanks [sm=hug.gif][sm=1kis.gif]

RE: Hubbys Traumatic Dream
Hi Louise,
My first thaught is that maybe the dream is pointing out at control issues? Does panic tends to set in when Steve is not in total control of things? Or power problems (sine a car is a powerful thing)?
The car diving into water makes me think of going towrards an inward journey (water seen as the unconscious mind).
Up to you and Steve to see if any of this rings a bell?

Many thanks for the reply Artemis, that makes a lot of sense. I'll talk it over with Steve and see if he agrees.
Thanks again [sm=hug.gif]

RE: Hubbys Traumatic Dream
Hi Flutterbye ..could this be something to do with your Hubby on a subconscious level having fear he will lose closeness/connection with james, and that he feels this fear because of the time he spends away from home.?? Maybe the slippery slide is his fear of not feeling in control of how his relationship with james is developing. This is just spontaneous response to what ive read...
There is a Dream Moods website which I find useful sometimes: www.dreammoods.com
