I dream a lot about driving but it is always fun & I am always with a bunch of friends. Not sure why it is scary to you? Where you left in the car by yourself a lot when you were young?
The Hamsters, do you feel guilty about them dying? If you still feel guilty about the hamsters dying, forgive yourself!
Well I do feel guilty, and i have forgiven myself. But they still periodically come and go. As far as the car thing, nothing bad as ever happened to me. Iv just always had a big fear of being lost.
Thats interesting, what exactly are grounding exercises? Come to think it without a compass (or road sign) i have no idea whats north,south ect.
and as far as the pets go, im now a responsiable adult. Iv come a long way from being the niave child i was. I have a wonderful happy and healthy dog right now. I haev no problem caring for pets now. But i still feel bad when i think about how stupid i was to neglect those poor things when i was a kid.

I was just reading about the fear of being lost. It would be helpful for you to learn how to connect more with the earth & learn grounding exercises. Feel a connection deep within the earth. Know where you are located on earth. Do you know where east, west, north & south are? Wherever you are, be able to point to where your family is, where your favorite place is, where the nearest river is...this will help you feel safe. When you are aware of your location on earth you will not feel so lost.

This may be a long winded post, but i have some dream questions that so far i havent been able to figure out 100%.
I have had 2 reouccuring themes in my dreams for years.
1. A Highway
2. Hamsters
Now i think i have a general idea what they mean but ill explain.
Since i was a little kid i have a had a profound fear of being lost. To this day I fear it. If im by myself in an unfimliar place i get VERY panic stricken.
Iv been having dreams invovling me driving/riding on the interstate thruway since I was old enough to consciously recall dreams. When I was young the dream would always involve me being in the baby seat as my parents drove home. When we got home they would get out of the car - and then the car would drive by itself with me in it to a far away place[:O] This was very scary to me.
As I got older the dream would change slightly. It started being that I would take over and start driving the car and try to navigate my way back home through unknown places with big scary(and twisted looking) city scapes in the distance. Then When i was a teenager the dream changed even more to me willingly driving the car out to some far out place for some "reason" then having to navigate back home(although it still scared me to do that). Now that im 22, these dreams now involve me finally finding my way home with a fair amount of ease. My most recent highway dream was me driving my girlfriend "home" or somewhere at night on the highway. For some reason we turned down a dark ally. Suddenly I was out of the car and standing in the ally in front of 2 people. One was a little girl, and the other "person" was a shadow in the corner of my eye that i couldnt quite "see" for some reason. The little girls face was very vivid and detailed - the most realistic face iv ever seen in a dream.
Anyway the dream "zoomed in" (like a movie) to her face like she was about to say something important. She spoke in a very soft but serious voice. The only problem was her message made no sense to me at all! I was hearing her voice but for some reason i could not make out words or anything. This frusterated me because i felt like i was missing an important message. She then pointed to a piece of paper on the wall that i figured was the "message" written in words. But again - i couldnt read it, it made no sense, just jumbbled letters! It started off with three big G's (ggg) then just a bunch of random letters.
OK now the hamsters. When i was a kid i had several hamsters as pets. I was not a very responsiable care taker, i was too young to take care of them and I often unknownly neglected them. I felt terriable about this later in life when i remembered that i would forget to feed them ect.
Now in my dreams (about once a month) i have a dream where i suddnely remember that I have a pet (usaully hamsters) that iv been forgetting to feed and take care off. I rush to take care of it but it usually dies. Not always though sometimes i nurse it back to health. I take this to mean that in real life im neglecting something...........
what do you think?[?]
