Night Fight

I know I never post about anything interesting other than my dreams, and I’ve been trying to get back to posting more (for my like 2 or 3 readers). I’ll get around to it eventually. In the mean time:

Last night I had a very vivid dream.

I was in my parked car looking for something when an old man approached, then an old lady on the other side of the car.

In my dream what was Adam and my Sister, yelled at me to be careful because I was surrounded. I was suddenly aware they were about to steal my car. I began to scream at them when a young man ran by very quickly and grabbed my car keys from my hand.

I took off after him screaming for help because this man was trying to carjack me. We ran through seated picnic crowds at a park (as if they were watching a show) and trees and pathways.

Finally I was able to grab him and pull him to the floor. I jumped on top of him, straddling him, pummeling him with my fists.

He was trying to protect his head and face from me but I was screaming and uncontrollably hitting him. I looked down to realize I was wearing boxing gloves and they were softening the blows. I ripped them off with my teeth and hit him harder and harder with my bare fists.

It was so real I could feel my hands ache; I could see his face contort with each of my blows. I could smell the grass and feel the anger boiling inside of me like poison.

I scream for the police but the only people that come are the old man and woman that tried to take my car previously. I look at the thief and realize that I have my car and he’s a helpless lump of bloody flesh that I just kicked the shit out of. I decide to walk away.

I woke up in a terrible mood. The violence and vividness scared me. I felt sick with anger still. I slept in another half hour and was late for work.

But what does it all mean?

Well according to my dream dictionary the following are the meanings to the main symbols of my dream:

To dream that you are in a fight indicates inner turmoil. Some aspect of yourself is in conflict with another aspect of yourself. Perhaps an unresolved or unacknowledged part is fighting for its right to be heard. It may also parallel a fight or struggle that you are going through in your waking life.

To dream that you are a witness to a theft or a victim of theft, indicates that someone is wasting your time and/or stealing your energy and ideas. Perhaps you feel robbed in some way.

To dream that you have been carjacked, suggests that you have lost your direction in life. You feel that circumstances in your life have lead you on a different course.

To see a parked car in your dream, suggests that you need to turn your efforts and energies elsewhere. You may be needlessly spending your energy in a fruitless endeavor. Alternatively, a parked car may symbolize your need to stop and enjoy life.

To see boxing gloves in your dream represents a difficult or even violent situation in which you are trying your best to succeed or overcome.

Take all of that to mean what you will.

If you have any other ideas or ways to mash all of that together into something cohesive that I can take as life advice, feel free to comment. Otherwise, back to my regularly scheduled programming of work, avoidance of work, and trying to live like a decent human being.
