"Horrible-Terrifying" afternoon "Nightmare": can you analyze it, tell me what it means?

Question

Am 73, serious health problems: 4 lower back, fractured vertebrae, etc.

Lay down for a nap this afternoon - lasted about 1 & 1/2 hrs. Lay on left-side(usual), but lay right arm over left elbow, not so=causes back strain.

In Dream: lived on rental property, in wooded area(actually lived on Russian River in Calif. # of years). Went to see landlady, took younger, somewhat mentally disabled, person(Stevie)along(only "Steve" I know, is doc. at VA)for dinner-?. Drove in my blue pick-up(never owned a pick-up, nor blue car).Got there, Stevie was acting up(I nor anyone intervened); I was constantly peeling "garlic" bulbs; another lady kept, shuffling the "peals" containers. We started home, it became dark; I sank in and out of total blindness; when could see, blinded by head-lights; stopped at intersecion, asked directions; told turn around; headed back, and I woke up. I was never so terrified in my life: thought sure we were going to be killed in accident. HELP!!!!!!

Answer 1

Sorry you had such an awful dream. I cannot interpret dreams, but i do know a thing or two about symbolism.

Garlic seems to stand out as one of them. Dreaming of garlics signifies your practicality  and sensibility in matters of the heart; you look for security over love.  To dream that you are blind, represents your refusal to see the truth or your lack of awareness to a problem. Perhaps you are rejecting something about yourself or your situation.

Dreaming yourself driving a truck may be a metaphor of a load you are are carrying.

Try to tie the lose ends and see if this helps you.

Happy dreams next time!

Answer 2

probably has to do with some of the pain meds you might be on.   don't eat cheese or chocolate before sleep.

Answer 3

What you really wanted to do was share, and share you did… thanks for sharing.  I can’t interpret/analyze anything, I’m no psychologist.
