Dream interpretation please!!!!

[The Girl Next Door]

I've been having this one dream since I was about 5 years old. I'm little and it's me and my mother. We live in NYC, so we were just getting out of the Subway and we were in a place like Grand Central Station going to an Amtrak train. It's a normal walk through the terminal. I can see thr train up ahead of us. It's angled. Not quite 90 degrees maybe 110-120 degrees, against a wall. As we're walking to the train I see a woman and a Police Officer. I can't hear them talk, but he wants to see whats in her Messenger Bag. She's young, maybe 20's, and she doesn't want to give him her bag. I am being led by the hand by my mother and I crane my neck to watch them as we move closer to the train. When we get into the train we sit in the seats and now the woman and the officer are struggling for the bag. I look ahead and see that where the tunnel is supposed to be there is just a brick wall. Then the train starts up to go and I wake up. Can anyone help me with this? I am 19 years old now.

Ever since I had this dream when I was 5 about 90% of my dreams have involved trains. Living in NYC the subway is an intergral part of my life, but I'm wondering if Trains in dreams have any other meaning.


AS for my feeling toward the woman and the officer, in the dream it seems like he's bothering her. She hasn't done anything and the cop still wants to see whats in her bag.

(hey, good to see you here) this is the first part of the interpretation from the information i had previously plus the rest of the interpretation.

trains, transport are associated with movement journeys and these can also be viewed as life journeys. stations are places where transitions are made not much movement is made at a station. you are going somewhere but you have to be at a certian place before you can start your journey. you generally have to travel to train stations also but these are smaller journey that you would make yourself. the trains take you on longer journeys.

it seems like in this dream your mum is wanting to take you somewhere but you have seen something more intersting. this could have relation to what you want to do with your life and the conflict to what your mum wants you to do with your life. you are trying to look at something else your mum wants you to get on the train for this journey.

police are people in authority and are keepers of the law. this would be someone whom you should respect but you think that he is hassling this woman. if we stay with my previous conclusion that this dream is about your life journey then the figure in authority and keeper of the law could be your mother, as he is a policeman he could also be your father or symbolise both parents. you feel like you should respect her but she is hassling you. your mother is hassling you about what she wants from you.

you are depserate to understand what is happening between these two characters, you are turning to watch, wanting to understand what is going on, but you are not being given a chance to understand as your mum is leading you by the hand away from what you are observing.

this symbolises your desire to experience life, to know and understand things for your self and to make your own decisions these things are in conflict with your parents feeling about you and what they think is best for you.

the struggle between the police man and the woman with the bag is the congflict between you and your parents.
 
the journey that you mum wants you to take is a dead end and if this is persisted with it good have dangerous consequences.
this danger is most likely the damage that can be done psychologically or emotionally. rather than physical danger or threat.

whatever this all means i hope you understand it better yourself. some feedback would be good we may be able to dig a bit more out of this.

This is an anxiety dream, hence a warning-dream. It contains two events.

The first event which involves a police officer and a woman tells you this: “Those who have the duty of, and try, preventing wrong-doings can be doing wrong things themselves while trying to do their job.”

The second event which involves you as a child and your mother carries this message: “Your mother tried to guide you in your childhood but sometimes she misguided you.”

The total implied message of the dream is this: “Do not blindly believe what the authorities say to you and do not obey them blindly; try to foresee the possible consequences of what you are told to do!”
