Dream Interpretation: Lost but found by my Father

by Sarah

Visitor's Dream: I dreamt that I ran away from home, and went to a hotel room with my boyfriend (in my waking life, my parents don't know about my boyfriend because they won't approve of him so I keep him a secret). I went into the hotel room with my boyfriend and we proceeded to have sex. I made sure I locked the door as I came in. Half way through sex, I see the door seemed to have opened. It was strange. I then got worried and I don't know what made us stop doing what we were doing half way through. I felt bad, and said goodbye and left to go back home. It was nighttime already and the streets were crowded. It was cold, and I remember vividly that all the shops on the street had really colorful and lit store signs. I remember being lost and just feeling that my parents will find out and everything is going to go bad. My parents will never trust me again or forgive me for keeping it a secret. I couldn't find my way home, so I was scared of being alone in the dark, cold streets at night. I was basically without any hope, just a hopeless soul. In my waking life, I don't have a good relationship with my father. He is a businessman and is extremely busy. I never saw him much during my childhood as he was either on business trips or at work. I also found out at a young age that he was repeatedly cheating on my mother with multiple women. Although they remain married and officially together, I remember witnessing a lot of fights between them due to my mother finding out countless times, therefore, as I grew older, I had a lot of resentment toward my father(and men in general.) He never tried to get close with me and nor did I. He's very unpredictable and not very nice to me most of the time. As I was lost in my dream, I remember seeing my dad's car pass me by on the road. He looked at me, and I looked at him like he was my last resort. He was in a white car (in real life, his car is black). He then stopped, came out of the car. Ran to me, and held onto me so tight cause I was freezing. I proceeded to explain myself cause I was so scared of his response. He then said "it's OK, it doesn't matter, what matters is that you are here now, now let's go get you something warm to drink so you don't get sick" as he had his shoulders around me. I was so shocked. I expected screaming and yelling about where I was all night long. He took me to drink some tea in one of the cafes on the street and he looked at me as I drank my tea with the biggest smile. It was so unlike him. In my waking life, he's a very serious person and very professional and it's hard for him to be emotional or ever see him expressing any emotions, such as smiling. He is always critical of me as well, so I was so surprised he didn't want to hear my reasoning.


I really would want someone to explain to me what this dream means. I think it speaks something about my dad's and I rocky relationship. I appreciate your responses.'
