Last Nite I Dreamt, I pulled into a gas station to get gas, and already the Super Unleaded was $5.08. I wasn't sure if I wanted to pump. I looked across the street, and another station had $5.03. I pumped a little bit, then parked my car on a street to get out and meet up with some people. While in my car, I saw a blonde female and two other brunette females putting something in my trunk. I got out of my car and asked them what they were doing. They got scared that they got caught but instead said, "Just wait and see what we put inside your car." I knew they had put some drugs, and if I got caught I'd go to jail.
I found a security guard on the street and asked him to come look in my trunk. (This character was really vague, I don't remember much about him but I just know I found someone to come help me out). The blonde female was there so I made her open my trunk. She took out a box, but it just had scraps of paper and pencil sharpeners in it. They were trying to make me look stupid but I know they had still hidden the drugs. I got so mad at her, so I slapped her face really hard 4 times and walked away. When I met up with my friends I told them what happened, and I felt so great that I had slapped her and knocked her out.




If this were my dream, I would think that the feeling of indecision about whether to pump or not pump reflects a quandry about some waking life task, issue or project that is getting expensive (possibly in time or emotional energy rather than real dollars). Since the decision is to pump some (but not the full tank), then I would think that I have already decided to put just a little more energy into this task or issue. But of course, the car will eventually stop if we don't pump (=work at it) more.
Numbers often have meaning opposite time. If the 5.08 represented May 8th, and the 5.03 May 3rd (hmmm - that's tomorrow), is there anything about those dates that might relate to the "too expensive" theme? Or, is there another way to look at 5.08, like May 2008, that hits on something? Might there be still other ways to see these numbers?
So much more there of course .. I'd like to comment later if that's ok.
Now that I think of it, just yesterday, someone asked me a question about a certain event, and I told them it occurred May of 2008. Wow, I would have never put the 2 together. I know that right now the gas prices are between $4.71 and $4.93, and my friends and I can't stop talking about the fact that it's about to hit $5. So in my dream, it had already happened unexpectedly, and I was just shocked that they went up already.
Ok, so we probably got the reason(s) why you had those numbers pop up. So the surprise (in your dream) that the price went up so fast was probably all constructed by your subconcious as a way of indicating that you are also surprised about how fast the cost (emotional, or whatever) of the issue (whatever it is) went up.
I forgot to add that a car often represents one's drive (because its yours, and you drive it, it gets you places).
So this drive is yours is being encroached upon, from "behind" lets say (i.e. the trunk), by these 3 women who stick stuff in the trunk. My reaction would be quite similar to yours. Its rude, a violation of sorts, especially bad because they plant something there that is going to get you in jail.
The interpretation I would have (if this were my dream) would be that I had some feminine characteristics that are messing with my drive, getting me in trouble. The blonde (I have a stereotype of what she might represent to me, the real question is what do blondes represent to you) seems to be the ring leader. So that characteristic (that the blonde represents to you) is causing you some trouble.
The 4 times slap is another clue - is there some issue that you may have hit on four times, or struck out at 4 times, or maybe even it just came up 4 times and then got knocked out, that corresponds with the image you have of a blonde.
There is still more in your dream, and I'll try to comment further if you are interested. But, is any of this relating to anything real, that didn't necessarily all happen in the last couple of days, but you at least got reminded of in the last few days? I shouldnt' necessarily know what it is if it's too private, but I do want to know if this interpretation is on track.
If you do want to continue, can you say anything more about the scraps of paper (and pencil sharpeners) - specifically, do they remind you of anything.
I actually had this dream the night before I was asked about a certain incident in May 2008 so it is a very big coincidence. The blonde girl looked like Heather Morris from Glee, although her face was kind of blurry. I had recently rad a magazine article about her (a few days ago) so I guess she was somewhere in my subconscious so I thought of her. I'm not sure where the two brunettes would have come from though. My parents do work with a gas station which is another reason I could have dreamt of the station, and the gas prices going up. I think I felt guilty deciding whether or not I should have gotten gas from a gas station that was not my parent's. The 4 slaps could represent some sort of anger I have instilled somewhere within me, but why 4? I'm tryig to figure that out.
Hmmm. If my parents worked with a gas station and I had this dream which included the guilty feeling you mention above, I would tend to believe an interpretation like "I am wanting to get energy for my drive from a place different from my parents, but am feeling guilty about it." But of course, I would only actually believe that interpretation if I felt deep down that it was right - so its for you to decide.
The blonde that reminded you of Heather Morris - hey another celebrity. I am thinking of the dream you had recorded here about 3 weeks ago, were you dreamt you were in the movie "Scream4". I put a new comment there just recently, and I notice now that both this dream and that one have the number 4 and a celebrity. Maybe co-incidence, but worth thinking about.
Comparing the celebrity from the Scream4 dream (was she good or bad? - see my latest comment on that dream), I now ask a radical question: do you think it might be possible that what the blonde put in the trunk was actually a good gift you didn't recognize, even thought you thought is was drugs, it scared you, you thought she made you look stupid, etc. One clue is what you thought of Heather Morris when you read the article on her before the dream. If she struck you as positive (which could be any of exciting, respectable, smart, etc.) then maybe she was giving you a gift that you didn't recognize. On the other hand, if you gained disrepect for her or registered a general negative feeling about her when you read the article, then maybe you did well to slap her.

"I am wanting to get energy for my drive from a place different from my parents, but am feeling guilty about it."- exactly what I'm going through. I do feel guilty, but then I feel confident and okay with it, because I know what I truly want. I think Heather Morris is a very pleasant and funny actress. In my dream she portrayed something completely different and more evil, so I was really surprised and scared. I'll check out the link! Thanks
Well, I first thought that the witch in your Scream4 dream might be evil too, but I now think she wasn't. So it is possible that the Heather Morris "part of yourself" in this dream is also giving you a gift, but it is clear from the dream that you don't (yet) trust that "pleasant and funny" part. Remember that you never did find drugs in the trunk, and that the comment "Just wait and see what we put inside your car" could also be what someone would say for a good surprise gift. Finally, she hung around and didn't refuse to open the trunk or show you what she put there - a person with malicious intent would have left before the security guard figure arrived.
So there is still more in this dream, but if you tire of continuing with this one, you could always post another one! You are so lucky that you remember them as often as you do. I have only remembered 2 in the last 6 months. Since I started posting here, I have been hoping, every night I go to sleep, to remember.
I Wake up eveyr morning with scenes from my past night's dream. I usually won't post them if I can't remember it like a story. I have the "scattered" category for that purpose-so I can just write random scenes, but sometimes they just don't make sense. I remember the people I saw, the things that happened, but those scenes were so short lived I can't make a story out of them. I like your interpretation though, with not trusting a part of myself yet, and maybe the gift being a surprise by someone. I think it all has to do with certain people in my life who I trust and who I don't trust, and the way I would like to sometimes treat the ones I don't trust-slapping them- but I would never! lol
A footnote: I realize that 5.08 if intepreted as the date of May 8th, was Mother's Day this year. Not buying gas at that station tends to go with the interpretation. The 5.03 price is still a mystery, as is the nature of the "present"(?) in the trunk.
