For over a year I have been haveing this dream, in the start I had it once every couple of weeks or so,now its every second night. At the start of the dream im sitting in the back seat of a big 1950s american car moveing down a road in Ireland. I was not driveing the car but there was nobody else in the car,it seemed to drive itself. I look out the window and see a flash of blue light and the car halts and I get out. I run from the car but It follows me down the road until i come to a bridge over a river.At that point I turn to see a girl of no more than 7 or 8 sitting and crying on the bridge,I ask her why she is crying , she tells me she ran from the car and was never allowed off the bridge.Then I wake up.
Hello Cernunnos, my two cents ...
Recurring dreams are either in the nature of
past issues which are very important, but which have not yet been resolved, or else
prophecies of future events involving the unfoldment of destiny. Note these most carefully and keep constant watch for indications of their unfoldment.
I will try to use a dream interpretation based on this www(dot)renascentlegacy(dot)com/docs/vol2
from Theun Mares' "Cry of the Eagle". It is evident that you yourself will be the best interpreter of your own dream, so consider my effort only to give you a hunch of how it could be interpreted.
Some dream symbols relevant to your short dream sequence:
Bridge
The need to recognise and eradicate
separativness; or the need to reconcile
apparently opposing concepts
Can't move/Moving difficult
Being stuck in a view of the
world/social conditioning
Colour: Blue
Humility & understanding
Talking
The need for communication
Running
Escapism/Opportunity for
Mountains/Hills
Hope
Open areas
Freedom/Fear of taking the gap to
freedom
Lamp
Guidance/Need for
Light
See lamp
Lightning
Intent
Window
Vision/Idealism
Path/Road
Direction
River
Unconditional love
Road
General awareness/Direction
Vehicle (any kind)
State of awareness/Level of perception
Here it goes ...
You find yourself to be in a state of awareness which is rather big (American car?
), but you have very little or no control of that state of awareness. It seems to take you into directions which are beyond your own conscious control. Still there is hope within your level of perception (mountains/hills of Ireland) and also freedom (open areas of Ireland). If on the contrary, those open areas left you with some feeling of dread, they disclose your fear of taking the gap to freedom. The latter is more in line with the fact that you were using the back seat of the car.
You have the capacity to open your vision/ idealism (looking out of window) and in this will be guided (light) by the power of your intent (flashlight) for which you will have to heed the concept of "humility and understanding" (the color of the flash is blue). Your state of awareness will no longer run around with you uncontrollably (the car has stopped), more even, it will follow your footsteps.
The bridge and the weeping girl are not something that happens sequentially but provide further detail, I think, to the dream message. Apparently, now is the time to reconcile seemingly opposing concepts (the bridge) possibly related to unconditional love as you have taken notice of the "river". If this does not happen, an important aspect of your self will remain stuck, and further growth will be stunted. The girl literally can not leave the bridge.
On a sidetrack ... I am missing the meaning of the appearance of young children within the list of Theun Mares' dream symbols. But from personal experience, I'd say it stands for an important aspect of your self that should become reintegrated. For me it was usually a boy (Are you feminine?). Another reason is that although this girl was unknown to you, she felt sufficiently familiar to you to 1) have deep empathic feeling with her, to the point that I think you must have felt her pain quite physically in your dream 2) you immediately came to the rescue, and 3) you opened a conversation with her.
I believe that there is an important aspect of your self to become reintegrated.
I also think that the young age of such dream characters point to something that happened in the past. Sometimes the boy I encountered in my dream was very shy with a very low social self esteem and that was telling. It opened memories to recapitulate around.
Continuing ...
I have the impression that the girl in your dream feels abandoned, lonely. Try to feel around what kind of memories it triggers and recapitulate around it. Also, she ran from the car. Or, a past aspect within your self tried to escape (running), or actually succeeded to escape, from the state of awareness. And now, it is stuck, on the bridge, waiting to be reintegrated.
Please don't take my word for it, use it as a guidance.
Although I sincerely hope I have been of help.
