ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of Ambulances in dreams?

Emergencies in dreams may link to real life crises that you are having to respond to. E.g.

"My son is coming to live with me because he has got some financial problems right now. I am not keen on it as I like my independence but it is a crisis" [Dream Dictionary - phoning 911]

"I was helping out a woman I know yesterday. She seemed very distressed. I should have given her more time and shown the personal touch but I just gave her some pretty standard and stock advice. I feel pretty bad about it now " [Dream Dictionary - emergency]

"We had a bit if a crisis at work yesterday. The police had to be called but I managed to take the heat out of the situation with a few light hearted comments " [Dream Dictionary - I had to call emergency services]

"I realise now that tomorrow will be a real crisis and that it will be quite stressful" [Dream Dictionary - there has just been a road accident]

Emergency services may show that you feel something is more important and urgent than others around you. E.g.

"My father made some promises to me that he did not keep. I am learning not to trust him now. I am in a new city and things are difficult. He did not help me when he said he would and it caused me problems" [Dream dictionary - ambulance]

"I have been told that my mom maybe about to leave suddenly to go back to Japan. She has done this type of thing before and it scares me. She would not tell me if she was about to leave" [Dream Dictionary - emergency with firemen called]

"I really cannot stand my boyfriends family. I cannot abide their behavior but he thinks I exaggerate and make them out to be some crazy murderers" [Dream Dictionary - call 911]

"I am going through a stressful time with my daughter right now."[Dream symbol - daughter is not wanting to make a big deal but I call 911]

Emergencies may show that you feel something requires urgent attention. E.g.

"I need to give my daughter some special attention right now. She is having to deal with some major changes in her life. I just fear that she is becoming distant and unresponsive towards me "[Dream Dictionary - emergency nurse helping my daughter who is in a coma]

Emergencies services may simply show that there is a sense of crises in your life. E.g.

"Life’s really difficult right now. I am being made to do something I cannot do. It will cause me endless troubles" [Dream Dictionary - fireman at burning house]

"I am going to court next month to file for divorce. I have had enough of my husbands drinking and abuse. I am scared of him and what he may do"[Dream symbol - trying to call 911]

SAMPLE DREAM
-------------------------------------
THE DREAM - I am in a bathroom. Apparently a road accident had just taken place. I was scrubbing the walls.

THE REALITY The dreamer was worried about the day to come. He had just started to realize that the day was going to be very stressful. He was expecting a visit from his mother. He really had to tidy up.

DREAM ANALYSIS Its important to see what is on a dreamers mind and then see how those symbols could express their current state of mind. Here the dreamers focus was not so much on events that had just happened he was thinking more about the day to come. He was firmly focused on the visit of his mother.

Sisters are very much symbols of emotions. Sisters tend to express their feelings openly and are extremely honest with every detail. Therefor they tend to link to situations involving emotional openness. Here the dreamer was in an emotionally quite lucid mood as he started to realize the sheer impact that his annoying mothers visit was to have.

Symbolic Meanings
ROAD ACCIDENT: "The dreamer was realizing what a serious situation lay ahead. The visit of his overbearing mother was just starting to hit home"
ROAD ACCIDENT: "the visit of his mother meant that the dreamers plans in other ways were seriously halted"
SCRUB WALLS: "the dreamers own need to tidy up"
SISTER : "Sisters link to emotional openness. They capture moments when you are realizing the full emotional impact that something will have"

I find it really stressful and am glad when she is gone. I was planning some serious progress in other ways but my mothers visit will halt all that"
