Confusing yet rather interesting dream...you know what it might mean??

I had this weird dream last night....I'm not sure what it might mean...
Got any ideas?

It started off with me, my mom, my sister and her boyfriend were going to look at this house to move into...and my sister and her boyfriend went inside to tell the landlord something and my mom and I were waiting in the car..... Then this odd looking fellow with an almost bald head comes up to the back window where we were sitting, and sticks his head inside the car....I was scared then...I was nudging my mom to close the window, but she couldnt, so he says "O are you new to the neighborhood? Well welcome!" and he shakes my mom's hand..... then he just sits in the same place with his head through the window, as if he's waiting for something. When my sister and her boyfriend came back, my mom and I exited the car, and the man started threatening us in someway. I'm not exactly sure what happened then...it was all hazy, but I remember my mom and my sister's boyfriend trying to fight him, and they told my sister and I to go get help and go home.....So we left...we ran away. We were running really fast and we saw the man coming at us with a mini motored scooter, and he says to us "You know you can't go far... You are on highway 8" (this highway doesnt exist where i live) "and there's no one around, so don't try and run from me" I don't even know what he wanted from us, but I knew that I had to get away from him. Thats when my sister turned into a yellow teddy-bear......believe it or not...... And then the freaky man said "go ahead, try and get a taxi" so I was trying to get a car to stop, but all of the cars that were coming in out direction were turning about a hundred metres before the reached us. So i couldnt get anyone to stop. Then I said to my teddy-bear sister that we should go to where the cars are turning....and she didnt say anything.....I wasnt sure what was happening to her, but when we were walking she started yelling at me for going somewhere and deciding what to do without consulting her.... and then all of a sudden she stopped talking......Then I reached what looked like a Bus Station, and there was this man who was trying to cross the street, but he seemed sort of suicidal, because there were all these buses wizzing by and he wanted to cross, then I grabbed him and I told him to stop because if he stepped out onto that street he would die and then he said "One Small Step for Man, A Giant Step for mankind...." he was talking as if he was insane..... in this wierd retarded voice.... so then we crossed the street and I think I bought tickets to somewhere...But then I noticed that my teddy bear sister was dead......I dont know what happened to my mom, or my sister's boyfriend... or the freaky man.....or the suicidal man who wanted to cross the street....I dont know to where I bought tickets...And I dont know what happened after......becuase that's when I woke up...I wanted to continue the dream, but I dont know how....My mom was tellign me this thing where you can continue the dream if you think about it before you go to sleep.

Anyone got any ideas what the dream might mean? And how I might be able to continue dreaming so that I find out what happened?

Thanks for the help!!

 

Is there really a highway 8 somewhere? '8' sounds like 'hate' and 'ate'.

 

there isnt a highway 8 anywhere near where i live....its wierd...I'm going to check it out on the atlas It was a pretty far out dream...

 

Are you in fact planning on moving into a new house/neighborhood/town? If not, relocating in the dream could be a metaphor for some sort of change taking place in your life. The scary bald man? Fear or uncertainty about this change. You ran away, but then bought tickets for something, which could signify a tentative acceptance of the situation. The "suicidal" guy who madly dashes across the busy street and somehow makes it could actually be you, overcoming some obstacle in the face of adversity. Well, for what it's worth, that's my 2 cents. Ask 5 people, you'll probably get 5 different interpretations.

 

I just remembered - '8' on its side is the symbol for eternity.

 

OO far out!

 

i'm still so confused

 

Hello again. Should you be thinking in terms of common expressions? You mention a window in your dream: two common expressions are "launch window" & "window of opportunity". You mention a man that is balding: could that be like a "bald faced lie"? Your mom shook his hand and welcomed him to the community. That is like an affirmation of existence. But you did not in any way come to terms with him, instead, you ran. Highway 8 can read as high way8, or, I wait. Yellow teddy bear is associable to a yellow cab (since taxi was mentioned). The suicidal man may not have been suicidal at all, but someone willing to make an extreme sacrifice for the good of mankind.

I don't have much more to add right now, but I will tell you this: all my dreams involving vehicles are interpretable in this manner: the cars represent human bodies and the drivers represent souls.

 

Is there a particular yellow teddy bear in your life that you are especially fond of? That could have something to do with your dream

 

yes....
