Driving from the passenger seat.

[rawwar73]

I have a lot of dreams where I am driving a car but must do it from the backseat or the passenger side. In these dreams I feel that my position and control of the car is precarious as I must struggle to reach the steering wheel and obviously can't easily reach the pedals. I'm not sure why I'm not in the driver's seat but it seems like it has to do with that I'm not supposed to be the one driving. Like I need to keep up the appearance that I'm not the driver. Oddly, though I'm also very aware that I could get in trouble if anyone notices that the driver's seat is empty. Like last night I had this dream and a police car pulled up alongside me and I was worried that he would see the empty driver's seat and pull me over. Then I would get in trouble for driving the car unsafely.

I've read your entries and driving and the driver's seat. But I don't understand why I am controlling the car from such a precarious position.

Rawwar – I get the feeling that is about being able to ‘stand up to the plate’.

It is an American term and it is about whether you are ready to take command, to show your skill, to be in charge. See http://dreamhawk.com/poems/the-plate/

Are you in fact facing a situation which needs you to be responsible for the directions you are going in life, the decisions you make and take responsibility for who you are and are capable of being?
