Dreams where you can't dial the phone

[bluegreysky]

I have a frequent recurrence in my dreams. They are stress-based I think.
I will have an emergency or it will be important that I contact someone and I go to call them on the phone and one or more of these things happen:

- I can't find the phone
- I can't dial the numbers... I keep dialing what I think is the right one, and I keep getting a wrong number
- I can't see what I'm dialing on the screen
- Trying to dial the phone involves some complicated process where I have to enter the number and the person's contact info on a TV monitor with a weird joystick and it's near impossible
- I call successfully and they pick up but I am mute and I can't talk. My mind is telling me to talk but my mouth won't work.

Sometimes this happens with driving too!

-I am driving but I can't see because it's dark, my vision is blurred severly or dimmed so I'm almost blind.
- I can't control the car it has a mind of its own
- I'm physcially asleep at the wheel and my mind is awake telling me to drive but my body won't work
-I'm driving a route I know but suddenly I realize I'm lost and when I try to find the road again, I keep getting dead ends and road blocks.

When I wake my heart is usually pounding and I'm stressed out.

I was wondering if this is a spirtual thing
or if it's more of a psychological thing- like a latent subconscious projection of a metaphor for a fear of abandonment or failure as a person.

We are one interconnected unit..body, mind and spirit....all are working in unison together.

Your frustrations in your dreams show that you are having trouble communicating and/or connecting to obtain help/guidance...In reading the Word and prayer, He will speak to you and show you the cause.

It seems to me the phone issues would be symbolic of communication problems or frustration with others. The driving issues I thinkwluld be more about stresses caused by being unsure of your call and direction

When I get car dreams like that, they are usually stress dreams -- losing control over something I'm working on.

I would guess that the phone represents human communication -- some people have personalities that are more friendship-based. You might miss certain friendships where you could vent daily with someone dear to you, and work out your decisions verbally.

I was flipping channels yesterday and one woman was telling the other she was moving (might have been sisters), and it was evident the one staying was truly grieving the friendship and loss. As though every move they made, they made together, and she wasn't sure what life would look like without that synergy.

The car dreams, I really hate -- sometimes I am driving and end up sleeping in the back seat with the car about to go out of control. Or I am driving backwards. Now you know how messed up I am, lol. I have a clean driving record, though.
