Dream that I was having trouble parking my dad's car in a spot. Almost ran over a lady's hand. I was helping take my dad to run errands. Somehow ended up back at my house with no car, not even mine. I'm thinking I left it at Dad's house and he dropped me off, but not sure. I wake in my dream and am about to go look for my car when I realize 2 of my children who I haven't seen in actual real life in 5 years are there. I try to spend time with them, they also want to play. Then my stepmom who has passed away in real life wants me to come celebrate Christmas like we used to do when we were kids. I was telling her about how I was dreaming about my kids being with me, even though I am still in a dream and when I try to say my kids names no sound comes out. I realize this and continue to fight to say their names with sound and was somewhat successful. I eventually went running down the road to look for my car and started to be able to ride from the ground into the sky by flapping my arms. I was able to touch the tree leaves and they felt so real. There were other people able to do this also and the all acknowledged me in a positive and encouraging way.
This dream seems to be a reflection of your desires, anxieties, and unresolved emotions regarding relationships and family. The difficulties parking the car and the near accident with the lady's hand could symbolize feelings of being overwhelmed and struggling to navigate challenges in your waking life, particularly in relation to responsibilities or expectations related to your father and family. The theme of being separated from your children for five years in real life may signify a sense of longing, guilt, or a desire to reconnect with them. The fact that they appear in your dream can represent a subconscious wish for reconciliation and to spend quality time with them. The inability to say their names with sound may reflect feelings of being unable to fully communicate or express your emotions and desires, possibly due to external obstacles or internal conflicts. The appearance of your deceased stepmom wanting to celebrate Christmas as you did in childhood may evoke feelings of nostalgia, longing for past traditions, and a desire for connection with loved ones who are no longer with you. This may also suggest a need for closure or healing in relationships that have been affected by loss. The scene of you running down the road and being able to fly by flapping your arms may symbolize a sense of freedom, empowerment, and a desire to escape from constraints or limitations in your life. The sensation of touching the tree leaves and feeling their realness could represent a connection to nature, grounding, and a sense of being in touch with your surroundings. The presence of other people who are also able to fly and their positive and encouraging acknowledgment of you may symbolize a sense of community, support, and shared experiences with others who understand and uplift you. Overall, this dream could be a reflection of your inner conflicts, desires for connection, and a longing for freedom and authenticity in your relationships and personal growth.
