Weird underground parking lot

Date: 5/25/2017

I was in the car and past by the church I go to. There were things like inflatable bouncy houses and the like. My mom asked why I didn't go and join them. I explained I was to old. So then I end in my grandma's car and we stop at Dollar General. She parks the car and I'm walking around the store. I keep seeing people I know and saying hi to them. Eventually I started looking at a shirt when my grandma yells at me because I'm lagging behind and it's time to leave. We stepped out into the parking lot and can't find the car anywhere. We find it in a dark corner of the parking lot and my grandma got in. Then it disappeared again. So now I was stranded. I looked around and noticed that I was now in some underground parking lot. At some point the ground turned to water with a few small islands scattered around. I could recognize the cries of my Siamese Ruby close by, so I find her and try to get her to an island. I keep falling underwater and so I'm doing my best so maybe at least Ruby can survive.

AI generated interpretation Based on your dream, there are a few key themes and symbols to analyze. The underground parking lot, church, Dollar General, and water all represent different aspects of your inner self and life experiences. The underground parking lot represents the subconscious or hidden aspects of your mind. It suggests that there may be unresolved emotions or unconscious desires that are surfacing in your dream. This could indicate a need to explore and understand these deeper aspects of yourself. The church and the inflatable bouncy houses symbolize a sense of fun, playfulness, and community. Your hesitation to participate may reflect a feeling of being too old or out of place in certain social contexts. It could also suggest a longing to reconnect with a more carefree and joyful part of yourself. The encounter with your mom and the conversation about joining the church activities may symbolize a conflict between your sense of responsibility and your desire for spontaneity and fun. This conflict may stem from societal expectations or your own internal beliefs. The Dollar General store represents everyday necessities and affordability. This could signify your focus on practical matters and the need for stability in your life. The presence of people you know and greeting them may reflect your social interactions and connections in your waking life. However, feeling rushed by your grandma inside the store and then losing the car may indicate a sense of being overwhelmed or losing direction in your waking life. The disappearance of the car represents a loss of control or stability. This could suggest a fear of being left behind or feeling abandoned in some aspect of your life. The transition from the Dollar General parking lot to the underground environment with water and islands symbolizes a shift from the everyday mundane concerns to a more emotional and uncertain realm. The water likely represents your emotions, and the islands symbolize places of safety and stability amidst the emotional turmoil. The presence of your Siamese cat, Ruby, and your attempts to save her from the water indicates a need to protect and nurture important relationships or aspects of yourself. The struggle to keep Ruby safe despite constantly falling underwater suggests a challenging or overwhelming situation in which you are trying your best to persevere and protect what matters most to you. In summary, your dream indicates a complex mix of emotions and concerns, including a conflict between responsibility and spontaneity, a fear of losing control or stability, and a need to protect important aspects of your life. It may be beneficial to reflect on these themes and consider how they relate to your current waking life situations and emotions.
