Okay, so, I’ve been having these dreams lately, and they’re always in the same place – a parking lot. It’s weird, right? I figured it was my brain trying to tell me something, so I started digging into it.

First off, I started a dream journal. Every morning, I wrote down everything I could remember as soon as I woke up. It was mostly just me, in different parking lots. Sometimes I was looking for a spot, sometimes I was just wandering around, and other times I couldn’t find my car at all. It felt like I was stuck, going nowhere.
Then, I started looking up what parking lots might symbolize in dreams. Turns out, they can mean a bunch of things. A lot of websites said it’s about feeling stuck or lost in life, which, yeah, that resonated. I’ve been feeling pretty uncertain about things lately, especially with work. It’s like I’m at this big crossroads, but I don’t know which way to go. I think maybe my brain is using the parking lot as a metaphor for my real life.
One thing that really stood out to me was the idea that a parking lot is a transitional space. You’re not really at your destination yet, but you’re not where you started either. That’s exactly how I feel right now. I’m not happy with my current job, but I’m not sure what I want to do next. I started to research what i really want to do in the future and make a plan.
I also noticed that in some of my dreams, the parking lot was full. I read somewhere that a full parking lot can mean you feel like you’re missing out on opportunities. That hit me hard. I do feel like I’m missing out on something, but I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. And sometimes, the lot was totally empty, which was even creepier. Maybe that means I’m afraid of being alone or not having any options? I started to analyze my recent life from different aspects.
I talked about all this with my friend, who’s really into dream interpretation. She suggested that the car in my dreams represents my drive or motivation. So, not being able to find my car might mean I’ve lost my sense of direction. It all sounds a bit woo-woo, but it’s actually pretty insightful. I started to set a series goal for my career.

So, what did I do with all this? Well, I haven’t quit my job yet, but I have started thinking seriously about what I want to do next. I’m exploring different options, taking some online courses, and trying to figure out what really makes me happy. It’s a slow process, but I feel like I’m finally moving in the right direction. At least I have a clear goal in my mind.
I’m still having those parking lot dreams, but they’re not as frequent or as stressful anymore. Maybe it’s because I’m starting to take action in my waking life. It’s like my subconscious is saying, “Okay, you’re finally getting it. Now let’s move on.” I finally found the exit of the parking lot in my dream last night. I think this is a good sign, but who knows? Dreams are weird, man. I decided to share this story with you guys, maybe some of you are having the same dream?
