extremely vivid dream, would love some help!
Hey guys, first post here, thanks for having me!
This dream was from 2 nights ago, I woke up and remembered it so clearly i opened up a word doc and wrote it all down. I'm hoping you guys can give me some thoughts about what this might be about.
My friends and I were driving, up on this sort of road on a cliff by my house. We're driving, and all of a sudden we aren't paying attention and we lose control of the car and go off the ridge, our car plummeting into the ravine. Miraculously, however, we end up on someone’s balcony, a house that has been built into the ridge, below the road. Our car is long gone.
After talking with the guy whose house/balcony it is for a few minutes, something happens and the sky starts to close up! We look around, worried, not really knowing what to do do. All of a sudden, the plants around us start growing tall and the balcony itself starts to turn into all of these plants, growing at a ridiculous rate.
We run as fast as we can, up and around the house, and the house is quickly overgrown with plants and trees that are reaching for the sky. Everyone leaves their houses and there are masses on the streets, as the only thing that is left and hasn’t been overgrown is the streets.
I yell, “Let’s go to higher ground!” and everyone follows me, running up the steep hill as the foliage grows and grows. As we run, the trees began to overtake the road behind me, and one by one take over the humans and animals behind me—first the animals and then the humans. Leaves sprout from the hands and shoulders of others, and people begin to turn into trees, with roots shooting down from their legs, leaving them immobile. As I reach the top of the hill, the only person with me is my friend (not sure which friend particularly, just a "generic" friend of mine, could have been a number of people) and the sun is getting less and less visible; it is fleeting.
My friend says to me “what is this?? What is even happening?” and I say back to him, “I don’t know, but there’s nothing to be afraid of.” And as I come to this realization, I look at my hands, where leaves have started sprouting, and tell myself, “there’s nothing to be afraid of.” As I do this, the sprouts wilt and fade away.
I look down the hill and see the hillside swamped with foliage, and the people have nearly become indiscernible from the plants. “There’s nothing to be afraid of!” I yell. Slowly, the plants recede, wilting and fading away into the ground, revealing the people that once were.
As I crest the hill, with the mass of people behind me, the clouds break and the sun shines bright.

I'd be eager to hear your thoughts, as dreams amaze me.
In dreams the craziest things can happen unquestioned and you wake up wondering what, why, how, and a million other things. But the craziest thing is that dreams take place in our minds. You might not have meant to think something, but you did. You might not have realized you were even thinking about something, but you were. Somewhere, deep in the caverns of our brains, our subconscious is hard at work stirring up our memories, aspirations, fears and desires.
Hope to hear back from you guys soon.

This is an amazing dream ! WOW ! I'm pretty sure it is positive though. I think it means you can control your fears.

I'm sorry I can't help, I have no idea why a nightmare would take this form. It's very different. Perhaps workaholism? or anorexia? Plants & trees have always been a good thing, unless you get lost in them. The only time they are bad in dreams is when they represent being outside society, lost, and vulnerable.
The higher ground would represent achievement, the sun vitality, and the crowd society and your relations with them. But I'm guessing those plants have a bombshell meaning that only you can guess at.

Wow, that's interesting. You seem to have first been in a bad situation, and then overcome it. So it's hard to pin it down to one interperetation.
okay... so maybe you have a problem in your life, but part of you knows is is someting that can be overcome? All I can say is, focus more on the second half of the dream, listen to that part of yourself. Because as Caro said, it seems intensely positive.

Ok- Great comments everyone. I really appreciate the feedback. I would love to hear more opinions, but let me elaborate on what you guys have been hitting on.
I am living in Eastern Europe for the year, just finished college and it's definitely hard to be away from my friends. But at the same time I realize that it will be over before I know it, and I'll be back in my comfort zone with my friends and family in the not-so-distant future (even though July is still a long ways off!) So maybe this is the bad situation Kafine pointed to, and the bombshell meaning that Insprirer spoke of.
As for the rest of what you said, Inspirer, it seems spot on that the plants could refer to my sense of isolation out here, as I have been a bit homesick and furthermore, in my dream, overcoming these weird plants (isolation, feeling lost, vulnerability) resulted in the sun coming through, which, to me as well, seem like a very good thing.
Thanks a lot and I'd love to hear if any others have comments/theories/interpretations too!
