I’m 36 years old. Like most people I’ve had several cars throughout the years. Lately I’ve been having this recurring dream about my first car, a 1988 chevy cavalier in powder blue, lol. I owned this car for about three years before giving it to my sister who drove it for about a year, then my mom drove it for a while before it went to who knows where.

In this dream, I own my current car but I suddenly realize that all those years ago I parked my old chevy across the street and a few houses down under a tree and forgot all about. I keep meaning to go out to the car and try and start it up but I never seem to be able to get to it. Then I wake up. I wake up with a feeling of longing and nostalgia but also kind of sadness. It’s a happy/sad dream.

I’m curious if any dream experts can shine some light on what this particular dream means, if anything.
