dream of daughter

[mikkieblueeyes]

I'm driving an old station wagon (like the Brady Bunch wagon) that we used to own years ago. In the front seat are my 21yr old daughter next to me and my husband in the passenger seat. We were heading back to a party and I was supposed to turn left because we couldn't go straight since that was a restricted military area. I was going too fast to turn left so went straight thru the gates into the restricted area where the road turned into a gravel road. I could see a white car coming towards us. I'm thinking to stop us. All of a sudden my husband and I have switched places. I don't know how. He stops the car and starts to get out. I tell him not to but he does. I tell my daughter to put her arms in the air, not to make any sudden movements since the men in the white car have guns. I keep yelling at my daughter to put her hands up and she doesn't (my husband is out of the car) and so one of the men in the white car shoots her from inside their car. She's shot in the forhead and I wake up trying to scream.

This dream happened last year and I still remember it vividly.

Hi,
Driving means guidance of the life and driver gives support and advice indirectly to the passenger seats.
A military zonemeans an subject of enmity or quarel,
You have said to your daughter to stop quareling perhaps to her b/f or her boss at work and at last there have been a bad news about her dignity and esteem as shooting means sending a message and forhead means one's dignity.
Good luck.

that's so interesting. I sent it to her so she could read it. At the time she was away from home working and I think she was having problems with her new roommates.

Thanks for all your help!!

Can I ask what it means when you dream of God?? I was in a place I shouldn't be taking a short cut and I felt hands on my back pushing me back to safety. When I looked back there was no one there but I knew it was God.

Hi,
God Has not any material shape and his hands are symbolic, so you will be kept safe from a danger or a sin.
Good luck.


(The dawn)
In the name of God, the beneficent, the Merciful.

1. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn.
2. From the evil of what He has created,
3. And from the evil of the utterly dark night when he comes,
4. And from the evil of those who blow on knots,
5. And from the evil of the envious when he envies.


(The men)
In the name of God, the beneficent, the Merciful.
1. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of men,
2. The king of men,
3. The God of men,
4. From the evil of the whisperings of the slinking (Satan),
5. Who whispers into the hearts of men,
6. From among the jinn and the men.


The cow 2:62

In the name of God
Surely those who believe, and those who are Jews, and the christens, and the Sabians, whoever believes in God and the last day and does good, they shall have their reward from their Lord, and there is no fear for them, nor shall they grieve.

The Iron 57:27
In the name of God

Then we made our apostles to follow in their footsteps, and we sent Jesus son of Marium afterwards, and we gave him the bible; and we put in the hearts of those who followed him kindness and mercy; and (as for) monkery, they innovated it- We didn’t prescribe it to them- only to seek God’s pleasure, but they didn’t observe it with its due observance; so we gave to those of them who belived their reward, and most of them are transgressors.

Perhaps an additional way of looking at your dream is that it relates directly to you more than your daughter.

For example, you are on your way to a party or “celebration” and you have to go to the “left”. This direction in a dream is usually connected with the idea of entering areas of yourself that you’re not familiar with. The “celebration” could be the idea of finding out more about your innate potentials for example. The main idea of the dream might be that you could potentially miss the chance to do this.

It’s as if a forward momentum of the energy of old habits (old station wagon) could cause you to possibly miss this opportunity to find out new things about yourself (going too fast to turn left), perhaps running into additional status quo habits of mind (dangerous government officials).

The men in the white cars could represent such on-the-surface “positive” collective ideas like “a mother must always be a mother, care for her husband” etc. even though the children are grown and the husband could rely less on his wife in certain areas of life such as dealing with relationships in the family etc. There may be some feelings of guilt in thinking that you’d like to try something new for a change.

At first you were tending to direct your own energy (driving the car) but then your husband takes over somehow. Often, a husband or close male companion symbolizes in a woman’s dream her commitment to her own self development. Here, the image may show that perhaps old roles usually tend to “take over”, your inner husband wants to “placate” the government officials, possibly symbolizing something like a desire to stick to your usual routine in day to day matters in order not to ruffle any feathers.

In this take on your dream, old habits and collective ideas (government officials) are shown as too out of control and dangerous, callous with no thought for the sacredness of life. Your daughter in this approach to an interpretation could represent your own individual self that is in danger of becoming totally unconscious (dead).

The idea would be that now that you’ve fulfilled the role of the first half of life by raising a family (Brady Bunch station wagon), it may be time to find out what new prospects lie ahead, new vistas where you could develop talents and abilities that may have been left behind in having to concentrate on the family.

However, without having any background information about you and what was happening just before the dream, this interpretation may not fit your personal situation very well. But if you’d like to explore the idea of the challenges of the second half of life, analyst James Hollis has written various interesting books on the subject such as “Creating a Life”.

If you did happen to look into some of his ideas and the memory of your dream finally faded, this might mean that the approach outlined above is basically correct. But if the dream seems to keep coming back, perhaps you’d have to look into another basic approach in determining its message to you.
