I awoke on a bad note. A bad dream haunted my early morning moments.
I dreamt that men in the middle of the night broke into my garage stealing everything housed in there--furniture, boxed items to give away, tools my father had given me--and left it barren. (My garage is stuffed with things that I haven't distributed yet and the garage looked empty--but clean.)
They left the garage door half open, that's how when I drew the curtains I knew something was amiss. They stole my car, too. I felt in the dream that my ex-husband had something to do with it, but I don't know if my suspicions were true.
I stood in the damp, darkened garage stunned. I cried. I called the police. I think the robbers drove by taunting me.
I wondered why my dogs hadn't barked, alerting me to the crime, but soon realized that because I had allowed them to sleep on my bed (a luxury I rarely allow)--they didn't hear anything.
The police were called but were no help.
I think I've had this dream before. What does it mean?

Hmmm. I think it means you need to go to the beach!
Jay, you never fail to crack me up.
Not sure exactly what it means, but I think it is good that your dream is of the garage and not your house.
J, meaning the house represents one's body, one's mind? I think it means I am conflicted over throwing things out. I think cars also represent some part of the self....
I like J's thought, especially if the garage is detached.
It means of course that you want to have a garage sale
and rid yourself of all your accumulated left over
items,, including your car and your ex…and then you
looked over the mountain and saw the promised land…
Oops that was someone else's dream…
Rocco, it is indeed, detached. But then again ...so is my sense of reality.
GT....sell my CAR at a garage sale? Hmm...it's a novel idea to be sure....sell my Ex there would be grand except no one would buy. And that last part....cheesy, cheesy, cheesy.
Hopefully it wasn't too disturbing. I know how that can be.
Tammy, I woke up feeling sad and scared, like I suffered a real loss. ....and something about the dream, the car, I'm not sure what else...was very familiar. I know I've dreamed something similar before and I'd like to figure this out. Maybe I'll call the Dream Institute!
hmmmmm.....
Things were taken from your garage, huh? Where you store things that you just can't let go of (for whatever reason)...they even took your means of escape...hmmm. And the most interesting part: you felt your EX was behind it...Maybe you feel anxious that HE still has power to take some[thing/one] away from you. Any problems/issues brewing with the Ex that would be causing you extra grief??? Custody, perhaps. I'm not prying...just speculating.
Maybe you should call the Dream Police. Sorry, that was a CheapTrick.
OUCH.
I'm no dream analyst, but the way I see it, you are holding something very dear that your ex-husband may take away from you in the future.
SomeGirl, you know, I didn't even think about the part that my method of escape was gone, too. Very interesting....no, no custody issues going on BUT he is very, very difficult to deal with and I have been wanting to seek counsel....I've just been afraid to deal with the corrupt bullshit system again. Mmmm....maybe you have a career in dream anaylysis! (don't ever think you're prying)
BB, OUCH>>>>>>>>>OUCH and OUCH! That was so bad.............it was really really good.
Iron P, I actually didn't see that but I do agree....I feel that way....or at least like some girl said some power issue....
read this and then follow it up with your kidnapped post... i would say we are talking,, like full blown paranoia here... what about you?????
Paisley, stop busting my chops! Oops...that sounds paranoid, too.
I have dreams like this when I feel uncertain about the future or quite stressed. I have a recurring dream where I come home and everything is gone - all my stuff, my son, my husband, even my goldfish. There is no note, nothing. There is such a sense of loss it leaves me feeling unnerved. It seems so real. Maybe we both need a holiday or a girls night out. Dry martini, anyone?
