Symbol & Metaphor
Example of symbol and metaphor in the dream:
I am in my car, in the back seat and my mother is driving.
The car would 'symbolize' the direction in life the dreamer is taking {the dreamer is the car}. The fact the mother is driving and the dreamer is in the back seat suggests the mother has control over some aspect of the dreamer's life. This would mean there are 'mother' issues the dream is attempting to communicate to the dreamer so there can be a resolution to the emotional conflict associated with the mother issues. This attempt to communicate, to make the dreamer aware of the 'true' emotional energies in their life, is a function of dreams. Nature has provided a device to help resolve emotional issues. Just as the body has the immune system the mind/psyche has the dream.
