Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and have some prior knowledge on how to interpret dreams locally for friends. I seem to have hit a roadblock on my most recent one though, and was hoping you folks could help.
Background Information
I'm 19 years old and living in Canada in the Prairie Provinces (Manitoba), I will sum up the background information that I feel is pertinent to the dream in question.
My passion is cars (1986-1992 Toyota Supra Turbo 5spds) to be specific, recently I have found what I find to be the most ideal car for myself. Given, that I don't know a whole lot about how to fix them and what not. The car is priced quite achievably at $6,250 CAD. The car is in almost perfect shape, judging by the photos I have seen about it (the car rests 200 km away from my location) so getting out to see it, let alone buy it is a struggle. I have applied at bank after bank for a loan and constantly get turned down, simply because I have no credit and only just got a couple Credit Cards.
My family and I have a very poor relationship, currently four out of five of the simple family unit live under the same roof (Sister, Father, Mother, Myself). We treat each other almost as if were in a Landlord-Tenant relationship. We don't say more than is needed, I feel alienated every day when I see my siblings getting attention and bonding with them. Somewhere down the path of life I lost my bond with them, and it keeps alluding me. Whenever my dad and family try to bond with me, I almost get annoyed and wait until they're done talking to continue with my current objective.
Here's what I believe is one of the root causes of my dream, currently ever since I saw the listing for the car I have picked up a second job and put myself through 60 hour weeks bare minimum (as my main job requires overtime once and a while). My dad is the type of person who sees automobiles as a form of transportation and cannot understand no matter how hard I try to educate him on the entertainment the "sport" possesses. In the past I have tried asking my dad to help me with a cosign to get a vehicle that I know would be fun, he would not do it. He is adamant and forcing me to get a Toyota Echo, Yaris or some other economical FWD car from 3 specific dealerships (of which my father is really trusting and friendly with).
I've tried asking all my friends for cosigns and needless to say, they were both unwilling and unable to help. My one friend however, is doing everything he can to assist me in my goal. Because in the upcoming Summer he wants to have a little bit of competition and another person to cruise the streets with. I don't' know how familiar you guys are with Astrology but this friend is a Cancer (Sun), Cancer (Rising) and Virgo (Moon), which means he's highly intelligent, very emotional at times and has a bad temper once his shell is broken. This friend is sick of seeing my struggle with my family and wants everyone to live the same lifestyle that he has, being in power and control of his own fate. So he's been trying to pull for me, eg: getting rides down to see the vehicle (as we both do not have our liscenes for various reasons), eg2: trying to find a suitable bank/financial institution to get a loan from.
Over time I've started to feel that pursuing my dream car is hopeless, even though I have a means to get one after a matter of time.
Dream
For whatever reason, on this night I had a dream in which I was placed "hostage" by members of the middle-eastern coalition and they took me on a silent, wordless trip around the world. These gunmen were more like apparitions of the described, they had the unnatural ability to transport me across the world in a blink of an eye (read: Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas, but only much more threatening); also the gunmen were constantly at my side staring, smiling, translucent, at my fears. At first they took me to a clearing in the Mayan Jungle which was filled to the brim with bugs and insects so hideous, that you can only dream about. That left me with a sense of Arachnophobia, and just after we were gone.... Poof
After they Jungle, they transported me to the Sahara desert in which I felt completely bewildered and lost. Once again needless to say I became nervous of the desert critters which could cause me harm. Just after getting the sense of fear and panic, they teleported me once again.
This time I was taken to the arctic North filled with frigid waters, Polar Bears, the great vast never ending expanse where you could be lost forever and still be close to civilization. After this I was transported once again.
We ended up in the Jungles of Costa Rica, or similar. I felt the same emotions as the aforementioned Jungle. Just as I was getting sick of it and desperate for escape, we landed in a clearing where there was a wrecked WW2 Jeep filled with food, water and all the supplies needed.
Just after this period of time I woke up and had two more semi-similar encounters, of which, I cannot explain. But upon seeing the WW2 Jeep, I came into consciousness and became very hungry and thirsty. Went upstairs solved the problem, came back down and am currently typing to you. After this I will return to bed.
What I believe the dream means
I believe that the significance of the dream ties into my current situation with the Lord God where I have lost faith over time (I was not born into believing, my friends acted as guides to enrichment). I lay in my bed and suddenly get a quote from nowhere: "Only once you are truly, lost can you be found and taken into salvation". Could this dream have something to do with my current spirituality and how I lost faith?
Another meaning I can come up with is feeling like the whole world is against me and blocking me from doing and achieving what I desire the most (especially in terms of getting a vehicle).
If possible can you guys help me clear up my thoughts and understand the significance of my dream, I know for a fact that it must be an important one.
