The Frustration of Losing Control

The Frustration of Losing Control
First period of school was over. Wanted to go home. Looked for my car in te car park, but couldn't find it anywhere. Luckily I knew I could talk through my key if there were people in my car. Asked then where they were. They told me that it was a taxi and that they left. I started to break and get really anxious, so I got my key and got kind of mad. I told them they had to tell me right now where they were and has to come back immediately if they had left. That shook them and they told me they were one level lower in the carpark. Went to them and they told me they just wanted to get the car to go eat something. At first I got really mad and locked them in the car. 4 people, one of which my age, the rest younger. Wanted to report them to the police, but eventually took them with me to get something to eat. Told them that if they had asked me I would have given them whatever they wanted, but because they just took it I got mad

This dream reflects feelings of frustration and anxiety about losing control in a situation. The first period of school being over symbolizes a sense of completion or accomplishment, but the desire to go home suggests a need for comfort and security. The car represents the dreamer’s sense of control and independence. However, not being able to find the car in the car park indicates a loss of control and direction in life. The dreamer’s attempt to communicate through the key shows a desire to regain control and assert authority. The fact that the people in the car were younger suggests a feeling of being taken advantage of or not being respected. The dreamer’s anger and locking them in the car symbolizes a need to assert dominance and regain control. The dreamer’s willingness to eventually take them with them and provide for them shows a desire for understanding and forgiveness. This dream may reflect a fear of losing control in waking life and a need to assert oneself in difficult situations.
