I constantly dream my car is stolen and I try all night long to get it back. Sometimes I know the person that took it, and I go get it back, and then, in the dream, I wake up in the morning and it is gone again. It stresses me out BAD! Can you help? –Jesse, 35, West Jordan, UT

Lauri: To the dreaming mind our car is our ability to get where we want to go in life as well as our “drive” and motivation to reach certain goals. Your car is constantly stolen in your dreams, which is a good indication that you may constantly feel directionless or that you feel you were robbed of an opportunity to reach a goal you had for yourself. Many of us are wandering through life aimlessly, just going through the motions and not feeling fulfilled or excited about much. Your dreams want you to find a new path, which is why they keep taking your car away from you in your dream, because the path you are on now isn’t going to get you anywhere.

Jesse replies: I have been trying to complete law school now for three years. I have not been able to finish because I had a baby. I am struggling with how to make graduation happen, and I can’t seem to find a way to make it happen. Since becoming a mother, I am second-guessing what I should be doing for a career. I am wondering if I am encountering all these obstacles because I shouldn’t be going to law school or be a lawyer. This makes total sense! I knew I could count on you to help.
