A Flood, a Party, and a Car: A Dream of Control and Escape

A Flood, a Party, and a Car: A Dream of Control and Escape
I dreamt there was this huge flood and New York was all under water. And I was in this bus with people. And I saw two people on a couch on the very wild water just having fun. I took a photo of it. and then they were able to control the couch to get it back to the right spot near a bus stop. The bus I was in was not in control and then it tried to get onto this concrete area that was part of some building popping out and it jumped out of the water, but then it just slide back down back into the water. I also dreamt I was going into this party to pretend to collect info on someone. We had come from the bus so we hadn’t eaten in a while. I took a pastry to show I was supposed to be there. I peaked in first and was nervous. But then I walked in with confidence like I was supposed to be there. The pastry was very sweet. It was some party for some worker. Then there was a bunch of workout cardio machines and a rock climbing wall. I was with my mom. And I went up on the wall twice naked. And it was a really hard climb. and I got it. And there was this famous singer there who had sung for her coworker. And then my grandpa was there. And then I was in a car with people. And we were waiting for someone to come and get us because that’s how we had always done it in past sequences. Me and this other person would move to the passenger seats and wait for someone to get in the driver seat to drive us. But then we saw someone we knew it the back seat like the driver had done something to him. So we tried opening the car door to escape onto oncoming traffic. Then I was asleep and my mom was doing something like unclothing me and putting me to sleep. I had slept through some of it but then I had woken up so I pretended to sleep.

The rock climbing wall may represent challenges and obstacles in waking life, and the dreamer’s successful climb may symbolize overcoming these challenges. The presence of a famous singer and the dreamer’s grandpa may represent influences and guidance from important figures in the dreamer’s life. The dreamer’s attempt to escape from the car and the feeling of being trapped may reflect a desire for freedom and a need to break away from a situation or relationship that feels suffocating.
