Hi wintertime! I see a common theme in your dreams and that is, the exploring of your own thougts or past. We could probably also call it a kind of self realization. Your own dream interpretation was very helpful to get a sense of reference point for me to be able to grasp the theme of your dreams a bit better. I dont know if you ask for another dream interpretation. But I give it a go anyways just to clearify what I noticed about your dreams.
My mum had come up to the city to help me out with something. Towards the end of her visit she asked or I offered to accompany her while she drove out of the city or all the way to her home.
On the way out of the city she often asked for directions. What I felt she was really doing was abdicating responsibility for taking such and such a road or exit.
I then answered only once when asked by her which way she should go. This made her panic resulting in her driving down the wrong side of dual carriage way at night. I spotted this and told her she need to get off the road. She insisted she was going the right way until we were caught in the headlights of a large truck coming towards us. She curved and drove the wrong way up a slip road to get off the dual carriage way.
I see the main theme here as that you are start to see realize that you dont need your moms advice to lead you in the right direction in life any longer. And with that realization that you know that you need to make your own choices in life. I see that you also start to see that your mom is taking the wrong way now, if she tries to inflict with your way of life at this point. You live in two different citys, and she is the one who visit your city. So that is why she cant drive you in your right direction any longer because she doesnt know what is best for you any longer. And that is what you have start to realize about yourself. Your shown your own independence in the dream, by also letting your mom know that she also need to take her own decisions of her own life path, instead of intefering with yours. I belive that this realization of your own guidelines, is what causing the feeling of your mom as "abdicating responsibility for taking such and such a road or exit." Because you might know that she is taking the wrong road as long as she trying to guide you from the role of being a mother trying to guide you in what she thinks is the right direction. So you notice all this by seeing that you both would end up in the wrong direction if she would have the chance to take over the steering wheel for your way in your life situation/city.
Next we found ourselves in a service station on the outskirts of the city. We'd stopped for something to eat.
While queuing up I noticed a person who had recently passed away standing in the queue. When I told my mum who I saw she said that was impossible as that person was dead. Then I thought is this what its like to see a ghost or spirit. e.g. 100% normal if you choose to believe other 'worlds' exist outside of the physical.
To be on the outskirt of the city could represent that you are exploring something outside of yourself by traveling away from your life situation (your city) to get a perspective outside of yourself to explore and expand your knowledge about your current state of mind. (Eating= growing/changing). Eating dinner with your mom could very likely be representing that you have a growing realization that your perspective of you and your relationship to your mom are changing or are getting expanded by being outside the already known part of yourself, which is represented as the city. And the ghost that you recognize as someone who have past away. Could very well be representing you, as you being aware of your old sense of self that you dont recognize as yourself any longer. But that you know belong to the past, just as someone who once was there. But that are now dead and became a ghost, as someone who is not here any more. Your might have noticed that your mom stil have the same image of you as her little boy that always will be her little boy. So it will be obvious that she in the dream doesnt see(really realize) That you are not that little boy or your old self any longer. So that is why she cant see the ghost of your past self as you do.
I then returned to my old mood asking mam if she would be able to drive home from here by herself or if she would like me to accompany her. She didn't answer so I told her I was going home and left.
This would be the final test in the dream, to going back to your old mood(the ghost of you) to validate what you now know about yourself. And since your mom is a representation of a part of yourself. She is now quiet instead of interfering with your life choices. which leaves you with making your own choice of your own, in how and in which direction to go in. So you are leaving your old self(ghost) behind, to expand your sense of self beyond of what you once thought yourself to be.
I think I stop there, because this is atleast the main theme as I see in your dreams. You are questioning your present sense of self, from a level of your own interest and awareness in your self. That is ready to be realized by another perspective through dreams. In which the answears are hidden until they as they are ready to reveal them self for you, depending on your personal level of awareness. Even if our interpretations are not the same, I stil think that there could be multiple layers of realizations hidden from the same dream. So going with one's gut feeling is a good way to start a interetation from which I see that you have done here. I hope this was a somewhat helpful answear for you.
