Is it normal strange nightmare i had as a kid

Ok so when I was a pre-school kid I kept having a strange dream (and possibly day-dream). I was in the car with the rest of my family. I was on the back seat but as the car took off, I would be left behind, as if I wasn't made of solid matter like the car and the rest of my family. The back of the car would go right through me. It left me with this awful feeling of loneliness and despair. Writing this now, I realize that this sounds like a sort of ghost dream and it really felt as though I was stuck in a completely different dimension all by myself. Each time I found myself in the car again, I tried to pull myself together so that it wouldn't happen again, but without a fail it did. At the time I was unable to articulate and share this with anyone. So I was wondering if anyone else has had this?

    That's weird I kept having the same exact dream when I was younger. I still do sometimes.

        I don't remember exactly when, but I was really young. It was freaky but I got used to it.

    The car is a classic symbol of motivation, and reflects whether or not you are feeling autonomous as you move forward in life. If you are driving and the vehicle is out of control, you may be questioning the choices you are making. If you are riding as a passenger, you may not recognize how you are not taking the reins of responsibility for where you are going. You have given power over to the person driving the vehicle and may be needlessly blaming them for failing. If it is a parent driving you, there may be unconscious attitudes or criticisms you have adopted that are holding you back or diminishing your self-esteem.

    Vehicle dreams suggest how you feel about your forward movement. If the car is parked, you may have put your sense of direction on hold while you explore new opportunity. The type of vehicle, it's condition, and whether or not you are driving, in control or being driven, will portray your present sense of autonomy.

      thanks so much for the feedback :) Really appreciate it. I must admit I had not considered the dream symbolism of the car at all and instead been focussing on the emtional essence of the dream which was that of being trapped in a dimension of my own, but the car itself must be significant as it was a consistent part. This has definitely given me food for thought.

    When I was younger I always had day-dreams or nightmares, dreams that when I tried to move it would always send me back to the original spot I was in as if I couldn't move at all. Basically like lag.

    I couldn't dream of nice things like for example 'going to the shop'.. I dont have dreams like that but that is an example of what I might have.

    If I don't have these dreams then when I tried to move forward, in my dreams it always tend to send me forward but also going left or right at the same time. :/
