loseing sister in my car in a river

[McComas825]

My sister called me this morning, like she does every morning and we talked for about half an hour or so while she drove to work. Once she got there, we hung up from one another, and I went back to sleep. Sometimes I can do this, other times I can’t. Today was one of those times I could, but now I wish I hadn’t. I had a nightmare that jerked me awake and scared the hell out of me.

In the dream, my sister and I were in a red car, I was driving, and I assume it was the old Grand Prix Danny had when I first met him. We were at a restaurant that had a red building with yellow trim and a backwards drive thru. Paula had to pay for our food and get the food from the next window (on the passenger side of the car) everything was fine until we got to the window to pick up the food. It was then that the front end of the car hit a pole that was painted yellow, and it crunched up my hood. I thought I had put the car in park as I got out of my side of the car to look at the damage done. The hood was stuck on the pole so I shoved it a little, and it came loose. The problem was that the car was in reverse not park. The car started to move backward, and it started to go faster down the slope of the parking lot. I was running to try to get to the car but it kept going faster and I couldn’t get to it as it rolled down an embankment and into a fast moving river. I got to the top of the embankment only to see my car submerged most of the way and my sister stuck in the window because the windows were electric windows and she had only gotten the window down half way before the power died in it. I was screaming her name, and she was fighting the water trying to scream as the car was carried down river. I woke up as the car disappeared behind a big tree on the bank while it was going completely under and I was running down the bank jumping in to try to help her with a rock in my hand to break the window.

If anyone can tell me what this dream may have meant, please let me know.
