Last night I dreamt I was riding in the back seat of a car and my dad was driving... horribly! He was driving like a maniac. He kept going off the road and almost ran into a Mac truck at least three different times! I woke up terrified and sweating.

Lauri: Don't force Dad back to driving school just yet! Unless there is some issue with your dad that's got you concerned right now, your dad isn't playing himself in this dream. Usually when Dad makes an appearance in our dream, he is standing in for a part of our self, the part of our self that is like Dad, the part of our self that knows what is best, the part of us that makes decisions and the part of us that brings home the bacon. Just as your dad keeps driving off the road in your dream, it seems that your dad-self has "gone off track" somehow. Have you made a bad or "reckless" decision recently? Have your finances gone "out of control?" Whenever we have a dream where someone else is driving, it means we are not feeling in control of something. This dream is a warning that you have veered off course, you have lost control of something and you'd best get things "back on track" and "headed in the right direction" before a problem as big as a Mac truck crosses your path!
Kathy replies:: Wow. This is amazing to me how my dream is directly related to what's going on in my life lately. I have lost control of is my finances. I have been spending like crazy these last couple of months. Funny, I am just now realizing that the day before I had this dream I told my husband that I was afraid we were going to run out of money. Guess my dream was staging an intervention!! Glad I found out what it meant.
