Too Much Traffic
...in one dream, I was at home and Luke came in and went on to bed and, somehow, I found a vape in his bag. He got up to go to the bathroom and I asked him where he got the vape from and he said it was from a friend. I was mad and I tried to break it but it just bent. I was really angry that he would take up vaping. (In RL, I'd be disappointed but I seen I also found a bunch of Christmas cards on the table that I had sent out and it all had been returned and had a bunch of weird writing on it from the mail lady. I remember thinking that I never had so many cards return at one time and I wondered if she bothered to deliver them at all. I couldn't really read the writing but it was kind of ranty and just weird. (RL: I haven't sent Christmas cards out in years.) I was trying to walk around and there was so much stuff laying around the house in both our old house and our new house. Everything was in disarray. Later on, I was with Mom and we were at P******'s Crossroads, trying to navigate traffic. There were so many cars and it was so badly congested that I actually got off the road at the gas station so I could get back on the road with a better view of the traffic coming.

This dream presents a vivid tapestry of daily life scenes intertwined with feelings of frustration, concern, and the desire for control amid chaos. The recurring theme of “too much traffic,” both literally and metaphorically, suggests a sense of being overwhelmed or encountering obstacles on your path. Luke’s vape, resistant to your attempt to break it, could symbolize a struggle with changes or choices made by someone close to you—things that feel out of your control yet evoke strong emotional reactions. Your anger in response speaks to a protective stance, perhaps highlighting concerns about habits or behaviors that vary from your values or expectations. The returned Christmas cards with strange, rant-like writing bring up themes of communication and missed connections. Cards often symbolize gestures of goodwill and reaching out, so their return and altered markings may reflect feelings of disconnection or misunderstanding in your relationships or community. The fact that it’s unusual for so many to come back at once might underline worries about efforts not being received or acknowledged as intended. The clutter and disorder throughout your old and new homes could represent transitional phases or internal states where things feel unsettled or out of place. Houses often symbolize the self or the mind, so disarray there may mirror emotional or situational upheaval—perhaps related to change or past versus present circumstances. Traffic congestion at Peacock’s Crossroads with your maneuver to step off the road for a clearer perspective signals a thoughtful attempt to navigate complexity in your life. Using the gas station as a vantage point, despite obstacles like the blocked pumps, suggests resourcefulness and the need to pause and reassess before moving forward. The sweater that resembles your mother’s but has unexpected details may point to questions about identity, familiarity, or perceptions within your family dynamics. Ending the journey on a bicycle implies a return to a more personal, slower-paced mode of travel, one that requires effort but offers closer connection to your surroundings. It may invite reflection on your own pace and approach when dealing with crowded, stressful situations. Overall, this dream weaves together themes of navigating emotional clutter, seeking clarity amid confusion, and managing relationships with care and attentiveness. It hints at a desire for control and understanding in times of change, alongside an awareness of the need to adapt and find your own steady rhythm.
