The dream suggests that you see yourself in control of a situation – one in which you are using a particular philosophy, rationale or way of thinking that seems quite logical (the car). Yet while driving yourself to use this philosophy or way of thinking you are not “seeing” (driving blind) – which would imply being without understanding. What the True Self finds really amazing is that you have come as far as you have with a situation or with your rationale without the understanding you would be expected to have or use.
The situation this dream can be referring to is that of dream interpretation. The dream can well be a comment upon your philosophy regarding dream interpretation – that “meaning” does not matter. If people are to receive God’s guidance from their dreams, what those dreams MEAM is all that matters.
If you want to look at how to respond to this dream, I would imagine that most intelligent people finding themselves driving blind would simply stop this way of driving – or thinking. Note how in the dream you wondered about this apparent carelessness. {Would you want a blind person driving you somewhere? Would you want someone without understanding in control of any situation?}
yes, during the dream I came to exactly the same conclusion as yourself, that one should not drive blind and so I stopped. It was only afterward that it occurred to me that I had indeed gotten as far as I did, and that something had been guiding my hands and feet. Remembering the Dream, I had actually negotiated a narrow drive lined with brick walls and columns of pillars. Blind. Without bumping into anything.
