Driving Backwards.

I love analyzing dreams. My own, or the ones of others. I believe your body sends you messages about what it is going through in your dreams. I've written about my own dreams many times in the past. Usually I can easily guess what my body is trying to tell me. But right now, I am confused.

I had a dream that I don't understand.

I am in a car. I am backing it out of the garage and turning right, so that I can drive off wherever it is I am wanting to go. But instead of breaking and moving the car from "Reverse" into "Drive," I keep going backwards. Fast.

I can't seem to get my foot to the break so that I can switch gears. I am trying to reach my leg down to press on the brake, but my leg is pinned by the wheel and dashboard right where it is. And I can only reach the gas.

I think about allowing myself to run into a house or building with the car, just to get it to stop.

Then, I woke up.

Obviously, as I have dissected for many people in the past, dreams about driving represent you on your current path in life. If you are the one doing the driving, you are the one in control of your life.

Dreams about going in reverse (or "backwards") represent setbacks and counter-productivity.

Brakes in dreams represent the ability to "slow down"... But since I can't seem to reach them in the dream, I can't slow down.

I don't understand what my mind is trying to tell me. I'm steering my life in a way that is counter-productive? If anything, my life seems to be more productive than it has been in a really long time.

If I'm not supposed to be here, where am I supposed to be?
