Weird dream about street signs.

I had a weird dream about a month or 2 back. I'm not sure if it means anything or not but I'll describe it anyway.

In the beginning of my dream I was leaving my house and I got into the car because I was going to the mall. The weird thing is was that my mom was driving the car. I had my license when I had this dream and I've only driven with my parents about 2 or 3 times since I got my license so I found it weird that she was driving.

But anyway, when we turned off our street there were white vans on about 3 corners near my house. They looked like the telephone company vans because they had the buckets with lifts on them. There were also ladders scattered around.

I remember thinking to myself in the dream "What the hell is goin on?" My mom never said anything the whole time and I never talked to her in it. We left to go to the mall and then we came back to what feels like 3 seconds later. Maybe I dont remember the part of me going to the mall or maybe I never really went to the mall in my dream.

But we got back around to the area where all the vans were and they were all gone. But after a quick glance I noticed what they were doing the whole time. They replaced all the street signs on the corners of the road. And instead of a street name being 1 or 2 words long, it was a whole sentence and the sign was about 10 feet long.

I remember looking at one of the signs and just wondering what the hell was goin on. I tried to read it but I can't remember what it said. All I know is that it started with the word THE and had AS somewhere in it too.

I was just wondering what this could possibly mean because I am completely clueless. And sorry for such a long post.

Quite the interesting dream and it seems to have been almost ignored. Don't worry about the length here about dreams, just as long as it isn't over 1000 words long..

The driver within dreams typically represents who is in control of decision making and controlling the future of the passengers lives - the emphasis of this interpretation is almost redundantly clear (you're a passenger to the driver...). Malls also typically symbolise a social scene of somekind or that you feel that social life has been taxing lately - friends owing debts, making fun of your clothing, or just that you like shopping.

So, we've established (even though this is all usually theory remember, so when I say establish, I do mean in theory only) that you feel your mother makes the decisions for your life at the time. This also precipitates the inclination that you may not get along with your father or even have a fatherly figure at all. Where is he in this picture? Also, do you have siblings?

Now the street signs. Besides a personal sentimental attachment to the street signs (hit them with rocks while waiting for the bus as a kid..?), I can't imagine much other emphasis on these thiings besides guidelines and regulations that you should follow. We all know about them, we acknowledge them (most of the time), but we also have a tendancy of ignoring these monotnous regulations. These signs being changed could symbolise governing rules that are controlling your home that you feel powerless to. Your family may have had a very large financial incident in the past. Or simply, the changing of signs remids you of something in the past.

Either way, there's an undercurrent of powerlessness here. You may feel there are forces you cannot control or cope with - this leads to anxiety and even depression. Do you feel apprehensive? Are you concerned about something in the future?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hope I have been enlightening.
