I’m glad that was just a dream.

This morning I woke up out of a very realistic dream about having had my credit/debit cards stolen. In the dream, I was driving the Water Rat, but needed to get something out of Mr Toad — both of them being parked in the same little parking lot out in the woods, by a museum or something. (It reminded me of this restaurant near the top of Kīlauea on the Big Island.) I must have accidentally left my wallet in Mr Toad and left Mr Toad unlocked, because when I got back to the Water Rat, my wallet was in it with most of the cards missing. (OK, that’s a hint to the unreality there — if somebody came across my wallet, and were nice enough to return to me the part they weren’t going to steal, how would they know to leave the wallet in a different car?) Anyway, the rest of the dream was about telling people what had happened and looking forward (not) to calling up the banks and credit card companies when I got home, and figuring out where to look up their phone numbers, and making a list of all the places I had to update when I got new cards, and that sort of thing.

I guess it was more exciting if you were there. :-)

Anyway, I was tremendously relieved when I realized that I was still asleep and this was probably just a dream.

ok, well, in dreams typically your car is a symbol for your body. I would interpret the museum as the Akashic records which stores our repository of life histories from all previous incarnations (everyone's). It sounds to me like you were going to get something from a former life.. a message, a talent or skill.. and that this is about integrating past life lessons with current ones. The lessons may have to do with identity, money, credit, value, or organization.

Another likely interpretation is about feeling you are leaving part of yourself there in Hawaii and bringing part of you here in Mass. There is a feeling of split and shuffling back and forth and confusion or disorganization because of that. Well, duhh, probably... ? Occam's Razor and all.

The munchkins...

This dream was obviously an attempt by extra-dimensional munchkins to steal your credit card numbers by accessing your memory of them while you slept. Fortunately, you caught them in the act, and can now take apropriate action. Of course, it beats the hell out of me what that action might be. You might try uploading a brain-patch with some form of NLP trick, or try luckd dreaming and feed the little munchkins the wrong numbers next time. Good luck!

Hey, hon! Good to hear from you! I didn’t realize you had a Livejournal.

I’ll fool the munchkins! I’ll just dream my credit card numbers and give them to them! That’ll show them.

(By the way, one of the annoying things in the dream was knowing I’d have to start memorizing another bank card number just after I'd finally memorized the one I have. :-)

Well, I don’t believe in reincarnation, but I’ve had some money concerns connected to my cars (particularly since docorion has convinced me to hold onto Mr Toad for a while rather than selling him), and I was idly thinking before I went to sleep about putting my next flight to O‘ahu on my debit card, so that's probably what spurred the dream. It was more vivid than they usually are, though, and even though it was a dream about annoying stressful stuff, there was a lot that was appealing about it.
