Usually dreams are forgotten the moment my alarm clock rudely awakes me in the morning, but on my day off I will sometimes remember the remnants of my last dream. I awoke this morning when my husband rolled over closer to me. I had been shopping. Actually I had just spied a really good bargain, and was getting ready to look around until I checked out the entire store. Darn. I am awake now.
It started, at least as far as I can remember; with me driving my car. A large dog came out from no where, and ran towards the front of the driver's side of my car. I swerved to miss him and ended up traveling down a bumpy dirt road to the right of the main road. I was pretty shook up so it took a minute or two for me to realize that I was off the main highway. (Now remember this is a dream) I made a U-turn to get back on the highway. I have an aversion to getting lost, and it seems that getting lost can happen very quickly, but finding your way back does not always happen as fast. I wanted to head back to familiar territory, before I was totally lost.
Before I got all the way back to the highway I spotted a familiar bargain store and could not resist turning into the parking lot to check it out. As I stepped from my car, a large white wolf came up to sniff me. I sang loudly hoping he would not sense my strong fear. He ran on about his way, and I entered the store to spot some fantastic bargains. Do we carry money in our dreams? I didn't bring any packages home, so I guess not.
Dreams are nice little escapades into fantasy land, but they also can give us insight into many things that we are dealing with in our every day life, as our subconscious mind finds ways to solve our every day problems. I have found a site that I like to visit on the rare occasion that I can remember any details from these delightful excursions.
THE MEANING
After jotting down a synopsis of the dream take the keywords and look them up at Dream Moods Dictionary.
DOG

To determine what the significance of the dog in my dream is, I look up the word “dog”. As I read through the definition, I see signs that do not pertain to my dream, such as “a vicious and growling dog” so I disregard this portion of the definition, and look for things that apply to mine.
The portion of the definition that pertains to my dream would probably be “To see a dog in your dream, indicates a skill that you have ignored or forgotten, but needs to be activated.” The definition goes on to state that dogs “symbolize intuition, loyalty, generosity, protection and fidelity. Your own values and intentions will enable you to go forward in the world and succeed.”
DRIVING

If someone else was driving in my dream it would indicate that I am allowing someone else to control my life, and make major decisions for me. Driving signifies life's journey, therefore I am navigating through my own life. Because the road that I veered off on was curvy the indication may be that I am having difficulties achieving my goals, and there are changes that need to be made to achieve it.
ROAD
A road indicates my pursuit of my goals, and when the road is winding, curvy or bumpy it may suggest obstacles and set backs that I may encounter. A threatening creature on the road can indicate a situation which will be encountered in real life and needs to be faced no matter how intimidating. Whether this applies to me or not, I am uncertain, as the first dog was nonthreatening, and the wolf appeared threatening, but he was in the parking lot, just off the road, and not on the road. When I attempt to interpret my dreams, I do not consider the interpreting as an exact science, but an interesting outlook.
SALE

Sales in one's dreams are supposed to represent opportunities in real life that one needs to be on the look out for.
SINGING

The person who sings in the dream is meant to be happy, joyous, and in harmony in their relationships. The singer uplifts others with their positive attitude and cheery disposition. It is also a means of celebrating, communicating and expressing one self.
WOLF

Seeing a wolf in one's dream “symbolizes beauty, solitude, mystery, self-confidence, and pride.” The definition goes on to advise that the dreamer is able to remain composed in difficult situations and handle new ones with ease and grace. Because my wolf was white there is an added significance of valor and victory, indicating that even the darkest of hours will yield to light.
I hope you enjoyed my dream and its interpretation, and that you will have many good dreams of your own. Good night now.
