Meaning of a Nightmare

So here's what I remember: Me and my boyfriend were in his car. In the back seat, my guess is fooling around. Anyway, it was night time, completely dark. We were parked on a parking garage. At the very top. And on the top there was a huge slanted ramp that went up. We were at the bottom. I don't remember what we were doing, all I remember was my boyfriend glancing up that way. He seemed paranoid, yet he gets that way at times, so I didn't think much of it. It did freak me out a little bit though. He kept staring up there so I looked too. And all the sudden a lady comes running from behind this concrete wall and starts pounding on the passenger side window, close to where I was. And my fiance tried to get back to the driver's seat but he was getting stuck or something was grabbing him like towards that woman who was screaming at the top of her lungs. I could tell a man came also to the car. I image the woman was trying to get help from the man. As I notice my boyfriend was unable to get the car started, the worst, more real feeling came over me. Like imagine if you were at the bottom of a pool, and couldn't reach the surface? Something like that. I was trying to climb to the front seat, but couldn't. I couldn't move. Breathe. Or see. Everything was in slow motion and cloudy. I think that man had got me. All I remember thinking was "this is it". And I woke up in the worst panic!

I do believe dreams represent our inner feelings. And my two days ago was quite a mess. Short story straight. My boyfriend said something horrible to me. The biggest insult he could, even though he claims he didn't mean it (which I believe), I've been a mess, crying, upset, just heart broken. We've gone through fights before. After he promised he wouldn't yell at me, be rude, hurtful, threaten to leave. It has happened time after time again. He's not a bad person, we just have our issues. And he hasn't dealt with it in the best manner.

So I've done a little research. And the screaming could represent how I am feeling inside. My other thought would be how, I trust my boyfriend to protect me and not that it was his fault in the dream, but something bad happened to me. Makes me think about how I've trusted him time after time again not to hurt me, but he has.

What do you think the little details could mean? What something usually means? etc?

Sounds like the ramp is your view of the future, maybe you feel like there is something in the future that is going to tear the two of you apart and force you to go separate ways, symbolized by the two people pulling you out of the car.
The car being stopped at the foot of the ramp, rather than moving up it, could mean that your relationship is stationary. Not going anywhere. Unable to go uphill (get better.)
The slow motion and difficulty moving is regular dream stuff. At some point, especially near the end of the dream, you begin to realize that you're not really moving your body and it's reflected in the dream.

At what point are you going to hold your boyfriend responsible for not assisting in fixing the relationship? You put him in the drivers' seat in your dream, so do you blame him for not being able to move forward? For being stuck in the hurtful cycle you're in?

Very good Little.

It's rare to have a dream that also seems to have conscious thoughts in play, yours seemed to have done that Ash.

I see the situation with the two of you in the back seat making out, as you wanting the proper love from this guy, happy, cheeky, normal relationship that isn't in place at the moment. You are adventurous so it makes sense you'd be doing it in a back seat of a car in a garage on the top floor.

From there, it stemmed as your conscious mind came into play, and turned the table into wanting now to be protected by him. Which in one way is still part of wanting that perfect relationship.. Then your mind as you love this guy, thought the man was there to help the woman, that's you wanting your man to help you, protect you, then you realised that was not the case, he was after the woman.

As soon as your boyfriend struggled to get to the drivers seat or drive off, that's when you knew you were not protected and hense the man went after you.

Little is right with her closing on it.
