Very vivid dream, what does it mean?

Question

Well, I had this dream over a year ago, but it's still as vivid as ever and it's been bugging me recently.

In my dream, I'm outside, and it's windy. My hair is pretty much in my face the whole time of the dream. I am wearing my school uniform (and blue-plaid skirt, a white collared shirt and white ankle socks). I'm right outside my home on the drive way (in real life, around the time of the dream, my dad had recently put asphalt on the driveway). I feel like I'm walking around searching for something.

Then, all of a sudden a maroon van pulls up beside the driveway. I get panicked and run into my house. The driver (I get the feeling it was a woman, if it helps) gets out and runs after me.

She bangs on the door telling me to open up, or else she'll call the police. I refuse, and the next thing I know the police are knocking down the door.

I run away, to wards my room and crawl out the window. Before I can fully get out... I wake up.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

No idea, but read Sigmund Freud's Interpretation of Dreams if you really want to find out.

Answer 2

You can't decide if you should leave home and go out on your own.  You may be wanting to but are afraid of the unknown.  

Could be that you are thinking of going to college and are afraid of being on your own.

Good luck and take care

Answer 3

Are you a criminal on the run lol maybe your guilt is getting to you :D

Answer 4

Have you been through a tough time since that dream / If the answer is yes ; it was the meaning  

Answer 5

I think if you see a maroon van and a lady is chasing you...you should call the police first..  It most likely means nothing...but, anything can throw you into a dream...noise, tv, talking, doorbell...whatever...I'll have to wake up and go pee and it will throw me into a dream of something stupid like I'm surrounded by water and have no where to go...LOL  Or if someone's at the door, I'll dream about it.  Tv...UGH, I try and sleep with it off now-------lord the dreams I have when it's left on!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

hmm... I'm gonna treat this as a scene in a movie, since it's the only way I could possibly begin to interpret it...

windy=conflict, as in you don't know which way to go, which is expanded upon by the fact that your hair is in your face...

your school uniform and the fresh asphalt are conflicting symbols of the old and the new colliding, which means you are in a time of transitioning, and you don't know which to hold on to.  this is somewhat proven by your desperate search.

the maroon van (I think) is a representation of the paths that will lead you to the new, and the woman represents the people who will do the same.  you are terrified, because you haven't made your choice yet, and are feeling pressured into going one way or another.

the following chase is your attempt to run away from the decision so you can make it, while all the time you are doing nothing but running from it.  the police represent all of the people who have power in ur life, and who are trying to force your decision one way or another.

your final escape attempt, and the inevitable cliffhanger conclusion, both point to the fact that you know you will have to make this decision, even though you don't want to.

how's that?  I've never done this before... so this may all be a load of bull.

Answer 7

Clinton's answer is excellent.

Some possible additional points:

Descartes' dream had wind in it, trying to blow him off-course.

You are ready for school, searching for some thing.

(Read "Freakonomics," S. Levitt, to learn to earn.)

The maroon color indicates change.  What kind is unknown, hence you are correct to "go straight home."

However, the woman (typically kinder than a man) follows you up to your door.  This is authority of some kind.  She calls the police--confirming that she symbolizes correct behavior.

Hence, the right choice is an important, vivid one:  you ought apply yourself decorously in school, "B" student if you can.  The uniform indicates you're "all dressed up and ready for the dance or schooling toward learning to earn."

The hair is records of your past, and the wind is the mental element--lots of hot, gusty air in the classrooms.  By being fearless, balanced, you can begin to recognize the wheat and the chaff, the less-important (even if necessary to repeat, for a "B") from that which will help you prepare for earning, balancing checkbook, etc.

"Expecting Adam," Martha Beck, and

"The Great Divorce," C. S. Lewis,

also worthwhile.

Answer 8

Maybe it has something to do with that uniform your wearing,it sounds light one of those prison uniforms,maybe you escaped from a high security prison and those were U.S. Marshal after you.
