Dinner with the boss.... and my dad

With this dream, I found it difficult to discover what the significance was of the brakes on my car not working. To try something new for the blog I posted a question on the Internet to see what responses (if any) I received. In the end I had 2 separate people email me with their interpretations which I will share with you. I am trying to find out from both people what their interest/skill set is in interpreting dreams.

The dream indicates to me that you think you have a particular situation in control, but something will happen that will let you know otherwise, this could range from a person you have unfortunately placed too much trust in, someone that you could have taken for granted that they would just be there or do something. Whatever it may be, make sure you tend to the details yourself, or if you have someone else do something, go back over their work to insure accuracy or completeness. Go with God.

The car is your body; inside your body is the real you, your soul, your sense of being 'me'. When in a dream you drive a car it means that you are in control; you know where in life and work you are going. If you are unable to break, it means that you are about to lose control, that you are unable to control the speed of your life, that something is taking over your means of holding back when it is required. No brakes on a car is serious for you are liable to head for a smash or accident.

*I was expected to go into work for 2 days over Christmas and it was my first day over the break I was expected in. I walked to the station, which was over-crowded with Japanese tourists. I saw my train leaving just as I arrived and it was the most crowded I have ever seen a train. People's face were squashed up against the glass of the doors. My car was parked at the station so I decided to drive into work. My car was parked in the middle of 3 cars and when I went to get in, I realised either side were 2 of my old school friends, who I do not speak to/with anymore. We exchanged pleasantries and I set off on my journey. I got round the corner of the station when all of a sudden, as I pressed down on the accelerator the engine roared loudly and the breaks wouldn't work. Panicking, I had to get the car back home without using breaks and waiting for the car to slow to a stop. Luckily enough I made it back to my house in one piece.
My brother Tom, who used to be a mechanic, looked over my car and was trying to convince me that it was still fine to drive. Knowing better I thought I should get a 2nd opinion and asked my dad who said the nearest mechanic is based in Chancery Lane (right next to where I work) and we would have to call him out. From my mobile I kept trying to call the mechanic but his phone was switched off as he was away for the holidays.
Realising that I wouldn't be able to make it into work after all (especially as when I looked at the time it was almost 4pm!), I knew I had to call my MD (Jonathan). I walked into the Kitchen to tell my dad what I was doing and I walked up a spiral staircase to get to my room. My room in the dream was nothing like my actual bedroom, it was at the top of a tower and all the walls were made of glass. I Skyped Jonathan and we were talking to each other over our laptops using headsets. I explained my predicament and hammed it up a bit with a few tears etc. He was pretty short with me on the call and I ended up begging him not to be mad with me.
All of a sudden me and dad were having dinner and Jonathan is there as well, although in my dream he was a big, fat, loud man who used the phrase 'babes' and 'love' a lot. He was sitting there talking about how much the Company expected from me and how amazingly I came across in the interview and they're disappointed that I haven't performed as well as they had anticipated. I did not say a word throughout his whole big speech on what a failure I am. Meanwhile dad felt the need to 'promote' me and my talents and was telling Jonathan how hard working I am, how dedicated and so on.


I can definitely see how this dream came about. My MD- Jonathan, is spending the day in the office with me today and I was nervous about it all night because I was scared he is going to be on my case!
