I have had this recurring dream for about the last 15 years or so. I dream that my car is stolen. It is either a car I currently own or one I have owned before or one that I have never owned before. However it is my car. Sometimes it is a little Volkswagen, sometimes it is a pickup truck (which I have never owned), sometimes it is a Previa (which I have owned) sometimes it is my current Honda Accord. Either I go into a parking lot and it has been stolen or I see the people taking off with it and try to chase them. Then I usually call 911 and can't get through. Sometimes I just feel resigned to the fact that my car has been stolen again. In the dream I sometimes think that this has happened numerous times and I wonder why I haven't put in an insurance claim. I have a feeling of loss or waste because I have not been reimbursed for the loss. This is the only recurring dream that I have although I have a lot of other vivid dreams too. Any clues? Thanks for your help!

Lol* Well scientists aren't even sure what deams mean, or if they mean anything at all - although Sylvia Browne seems to think they are our nightly adventures on 'the other side'. Lol* I'm not sure what to make of dreams myself, but I do find that even with recurring dreams, it's the emotions that stick with me more than the events that occurred in the dream. As a little girl I had this recurring dream that I was running down a bright hallway, with flourescent lights and cream walls and cream doors. I was running and running and feeling that feeling you feel when something is chasing you. When I reached the end of the hallway there were three large cream fluffy chairs chairs where my Mother, Father and one of my grandparents sat. I told them something was chasing me and I needed their help - and then they all pulled off their faces to reveal they were Gremlins - in cohorts with what was chasing me! Lol* Now I moved a lot as a child and teenager, and was dealing with a lot of stress at the time - so was this dream a manifestion of my stress? Or of my watching Gremlins even though my Mother warned it would give me nightmares? Who knows. But the feeling stuck with me, and I've had other instances of recurring dreams during stressful points in my life. I almost wonder if dreams are a result of stress and other feelings in the same way an ulcer or a stress headache are. Tell me, what profound thing is God wanting me to learn from that stress headache? Maybe it's the same with dreams. On the other hand, maybe Sylvia Browne's got a point, and maybe I visited some other dimension. I don't know. But if I were you, having these dreams, I would take note of how you feel during the dream, and examine your life. If you are suffering from a lot of stress, maybe this is a signal from your body that you need to find a way to alleviate it, or just take some time for yourself and relax! :) It is interesting to ponder, whatever the reality may be! :) Good luck! :)

You are probably the only one who can know for sure what it means. Other people can only help you a bit. It depends on what the things in your dreams symbolises to you. How you were feeling is very important too. Try writing down your dream and then break each thing now into what it symbolises for you. What does the car mean to you? How were you feeling before the car got stolen. Sometimes the meaning of the dream can be straigth forward but sometimes it's quite complex.
If I were to take a guess I would say that you are losing something continuously(maybe regret) but I'm probably wrong.

Lot's of people have reccurring dreams, some more than others. It really doesn't mean anything, it just means that it sticks with you. Even I have a reccurring dream, and I haven't been abducted by aliens, and my cat's are still alive. I'm sure you have car insurance, so you'll be fine. If you are not insured, a good tip for anyone is you should. Another thing though, is that you probably have lost something that you can't get back, and it's coming through.

Feeling that something is taken from you or feelings of being unloved might enter into this.

The answer (to me) is so obvious, I can't imagine why you don't see it :) If you think about it for a bit, you will seeit, I am sure. This is one of those things you should see for yourself before anyone explains it to you.

Here's the safest interpretation: it doesn't mean anything.
