Ok,I have spent quite a few weeks now ,before settling down to go to sleep, talking with "helpers" on various things.
A few nights ago,I asked if there was anything they could tell me about where my life is going,but I did add that I would understand if they couldn't,if I had to figure things out for myself.

I woke up,with an amazing sense of OMG,why didnt I realise thats what that dream meant!.

A couple of months ago I had a proper nightmare,I woke up yelling and my heart was racing like a train.I rarely have bad dreams of any description.

In my dream I was teaching my mum to drive,in a car similar to my own,yet it was an automatic,mine is a manual.
I was the passenger,and talking her through a three point turn,yet where we were attempting it was on a pier.Whilst attempting the manouvere in my dream,my mum hit the acelerator instead of brake,and the car flew off the edge into the water.
I should add,at this point I awoke terified,as my one true fear,is being trapped in a vehicle whilst submerged in water.

Since I was very small,my mum has struggled with alcoholism,and I have suffered as all loved ones do,when faced with this challenge,but my love for the person my mum truly is has kept me strong and always there to help her,no matter what pain it may cause me.

the OMG moment,was understanding that in the dream,as in life..I can teach her,guide her,support her,but at the end of the day,the choices that mum makes,are her own,no matter how catastrophic they may be.therefore I must bear that in mind,and not allow myself to feel that I am responsible for her.

I am truly impressed with how strongly,as soon as I opened my eyes that was the impression I got,and I should point out that I was not asking for guidance on that dream, I had in fact forgotten it. But it makes perfect sense .

I did also get a vague impression that perhaps it was a warning,that perhaps my mums battle will not end well,hence showing me my greatest fear(the water thing) but at the end of the day we all have our paths to walk.
BTW,my mum does not drive and is now far to old to learn.

What do you guys think?

This is wonderful Starstream. I love the way you 'got it' in your sleep. I had energy running through me as I read your post. You really 'got it.'!!!

Yes, this is her free will. You've made me smile today. ;-)

Love, Mairlyn ;-)

The message I've been getting lately is that even God can't help us if we don't let him. Therefore, we should be surrendered when we try to help somebody.

Just something to think about: A car in a dream represents the body. Water, on the other hand, represents the stream of life. As we play all parts in our dreams it seems to me that you have some further thinking to do. Your mother is old now, but is she dragging you down still, mentally, spiritually? Regardless of your interpretation of the dream, methinks you are still being sucked under.
It's hard to break the chains of such supposed obligations to a parent, but don't forget you have a life to live too.

More... :)

Fantastic, Starstream

The secret is that we always get what we pray for, but we pray for so much crap that it all gets confused and we rarely recognize that our wishes (perhaps made as a three year old or in a past life) are being answered.

Your willingness to "figure it out" by yourself suggests that you are about ready for an epiphany.
