Babalawo Obanifa will
through the medium of this current work interprets and document in details the
meanings of seeing car in dream from the perspective of African culture and spirituality.
By car within the context of this work I am referring to a road vehicle,
typically with four wheels, powered by an internal combustion engine and able
to carry a small number of people. Car as in the case of any other dream Symbol
can have either positive or negative meaning. The message in car dream can even
be a warning or divine instruction to the dreamer. The meanings to be giving to
car in dream will depend on the contents and context of such dream. Below are interpretation
and some spiritual and physical quick fix to meaning of car in dream.
IF A MARRIED PERSON DREAM
THAT HIS/HER SPOUSE LEAVE OR ABANDONED HIM/HER IN THE CAR IN THE COURSE OF THEIR JOURNEY: It
is not uncommon for married person or an individual in very serious romantic relationship
to have a dream that his/her spouse suddenly left him or her in the car. He/she
she may also see in dream that he/she is with his /her spouse in the car and
his /her spouse disappear. he can not find him in the car again. In any kind of
dream of this nature. The car connotes the life journey in the marriage or the
relationship. If your spouse suddenly leaves in the car in dream and left. It connotes
an imminent divorce or an abrupt end to such relationship due to fight or misunderstanding. If you see that your spouse suddenly disappears
when you are sitting in the car together on a journey. This kind of dream
connote an imminent death of the spouse if proper physical and spiritual
preventive measure are not put n place to avert such.
Quick Fix To this kind of
Dream
There are two method of
fixing this kind of dream. It involves both physical and spiritual measure.
Physical Measure: An individual who have this kind of dream that
his /her left him in the car in the course of a journey, must first take physical
step to manage conflict that may arises in the union. He/she must from that
period on develop the skill of conflict managements. CONFLICT IS AN INEVITABLE PART of
marriage or union. As imperfect people, we will always have differences with
others — and we may not always handle them well. Marriage is a petri dish for
conflict because it forces you to face life’s stresses alongside another
imperfect person.
Interestingly,
research has shown that the frequency of conflict has less
effect on a marriage’s longevity than the quality of those
confrontations. Some studies have even shown that avoiding conflict can be more
damaging to a marriage than fighting. So, what kind of arguments should you
avoid in order to have a long, happy marriage? It is never too late to develop healthy
conflict strategies. Below are ten tips
that an individual can use to manage conflicts in marriage or relation as
explain by CALLED Magazine.
Talk About Conflict Before It Happens
How does your
husband/wife feel about conflict? Does he/she face it head on or avoid it at all costs?
When you understand how he/she feels about confrontation, you will be
more equipped to manage fights when they arise. If one of you avoids
conflict, you may need to establish strategies to ensure that issues
aren’t left to fester. Sweeping important problems under the rug doesn’t
make them disappear. It slowly erodes your marriage’s foundation.
Evaluate the Situation
When conflict does
arise, look for underlying issues before you react. Are you or your
husband stressed out because of work? Is your blood sugar low? Is this
issue tied to your personal history? Sometimes frustrations arise because
of external factors that need attention before you can resolve a disagreement.
Try to hone in on the true cause so that you can resolve it.
Avoid Bitterness, Wrath, Anger, and Clamor
It is important
that you either remain calm or reschedule your fight for a time when you
can address it with less emotion. Unchecked emotions can cause the deepest
wounds through hurtful words and actions. If you want your fight to
be productive, you must first ensure that it isn’t destructive.
Avoid Absolutes
You already know
that you shouldn’t call your husband/wife names or insult him. But, when you
say, “You always…” you are no longer commenting on his actions. Talking
about behavior in absolute terms is attacking your husband/wife’s
character. Those words can be as damaging as a direct insult. And if you
are being honest with yourself, your husband /wife probably
isn’t always guilty of something. These unfair comments
can alienate him/her over time, even if you resolve the issues at hand.
Stay Focused
It can be tempting
to air a long list of grievances when tensions run high. Spouting off
complaints may make you feel like you’re winning the fight, but
you’re really sabotaging your relationship. All those issues matter
and deserve your attention, but you should address them as they come
up — rather than in a single burst of rage. When you avoid talking
about problems, small things grow bigger over time. Eventually, they
grow so big that they obscure the true heart of your argument.
Don’t Make Assumptions
Angry people are
not very good listeners (or communicators, for that matter).
Force yourself to slow the dialogue down by telling your husband/wife
what you hear him/her saying. “When you say _____, I
understand ______.” Then make sure that your understanding matches
his/her intentions. If you do not understand each other, it will be
nearly impossible to find a mutually satisfying solution.
Forgive During AND After
Trading insults
and grievances back and forth will thrust you both into a vicious
cycle. One of you will need to take the first step towards the other
person. That step starts with forgiveness. You can stop the fight and
pave the way for resolution by being the first to accept your fault or to
see your husband/wife’s perspective. By the end of your conversation,
you may see new areas where forgiveness and apologies are necessary.
Accept Fault
You will rarely
(if ever) walk away from a fight with clean hands. Even if the fight
wasn’t your fault to begin with, were you loving and kind the entire
way through? Or did you say a few things you shouldn’t have? Did you
become angry more quickly than you should have? Did you fail to offer your
husband grace for his extenuating circumstances (like stress at
work)? Was your tone sharp when it should have been gentle? Be sure
to apologize for those actions.
Make a Plan
Conflict does not
arise because couples want things to stay the same. Your
differences became a problem because one of you needed a change.
Instead of assuming that things will be different, tell
each other the specific changes you’ll make to prevent future issues.
Make sure that those actions meet his needs, as well as yours — rather
than unilaterally identifying a solution.
Reconnect
Your conflict may be over when you have reached a mutual understanding, but it may not feel resolved. It may be difficult to release the tension of confrontation. Reconnecting with your husband through a hug or an activity that you both enjoy can help you move forward.
Your conflict may be over when you have reached a mutual understanding, but it may not feel resolved. It may be difficult to release the tension of confrontation. Reconnecting with your husband through a hug or an activity that you both enjoy can help you move forward.
Spiritual quick
fix
Spiritual Quick
fix is applicable where you see that your spouse or partner disappear in the
car on a journey. In this kind of dream,
the first thing is to advise your spouse in question to undergoes physical medical
test in order to ascertain whether there is an underlying health condition that
can cause him/her untimely death. If any things is discover medically , Detail
attention must be given to it.

IF YOU SEE IN YOUR
DREAMS THAT YOU ARE ENTERING DIFFERENT CARS IN DREAM: If you see in your dream
that you are entering different cars in dream. For a married person who see in
his/her dream that he /she is dropping from car and entering another. This kind
of dream connote unstable marriage. That is moving from one relationship to
another. For unmarried person who have this kind of dream this kind of dream connotes
unstable unemployment life. Moving from one job to the other with rest of mind.
The same interpretations apply when use
see in your dream that you are moving from one plane flight to the other without
stop. Same interpretation also applies when you see that you are moving from
one ship or canoe to another without stop.
Quick fix to this
Kind of Dream
The quick fix to
this kind of dream is both physical and spiritual. For a married person or
person in serious relationship who have this kind of dream. He/she can adopt
these “verywellmind” outline strategies
on avoiding divorce. It's no secret that it takes work to protect, nurture, and
grow a marriage. Between work schedules, children, and other obligations,
sometimes it can seem impossible to maintain that partnership. And when
problems arise, for some couples it's healthier to divorce
and go your separate ways,1 while for others, it's a better choice to work on your
relationship.
If you
want to stay with your partner but navigate the bumps in the road, there are
proactive measures—from improving communication to infusing more romance in
day-to-day life—you can take to prevent divorce. Here are 13 ways to improve
your partnership.
Rule Out the Idea of Divorce
Just
toying with the idea that you might be better off outside of the marriage can
put a major strain on the relationship, even if you never voice those thoughts.
In fact, that thought alone can cause a major break in your motivation to make
the marriage better.2 To combat this risk to your marriage, decide ahead of
time that divorce
is not an option. Making this commitment will help you focus on how you can
make the marriage better and stronger, rather than thinking about what life
might be like outside the marriage.
Honor and Respect Your Partner
People
inevitably change over time and understanding, appreciating, and adapting to
those changes is critical. To help remind yourself of the wonderful person you
married, make a list of their best qualities. This exercise will help you
remember why you fell in love in the first place. It also helps to vocalize how
much you appreciate your partner's quirks and eccentricities.3
Let your partner
know every day—through compliments or thank yous—that you appreciate all that
he or she does.
These
little expressions are like deposits in the bank. You don't want to make
withdrawals from your marriage without ever making any deposits. So, be sure
you are doing things that honor your partner for who he or she is.
Communicate Regularly
In the
age of smartphones, Netflix, and work-from-home lifestyles, it's easy to get
distracted and go days without having a real conversation with your spouse. Communicating
openly about your life, interests, dreams, frustrations, and feelings
is an important way to foster
intimacy in a relationship.4 Likewise, it's crucial that you listen to your
partner voice his or her thoughts, too. Sometimes it's helpful to set aside 30
minutes each day without interruptions where you can talk without any
distractions.
Share Financial Expectations and Budgets
Many
marriages are fraught with disagreements over finances.5 Often
couples bring different expectations about money to a relationship and find it
difficult to see the other person's perspective. Coming to an agreement on how
to handle money together is a critical component of successful marriages. Agree
on a budget and an approach to debt and then live within your limits.
For
some, it's important to differentiate between a need and a want. While both are
legitimate, couples face problems if they try to fulfill all their wants
without considering their budget. Likewise, it's important to incorporate some
flexibility in your budget to allow for entertainment, gifts, vacations, and
other activities that help strengthen the marriage.
Give Each Other Space
One of
the hardest things to balance in a marriage is the right amount of time to
spend together. Too much can feel like smothering while too little can be
interpreted as inattentive. So, when your partner needs space or a night out
with friends, offer to watch the kids or run the errands so they can easily get
that time.
It's
also important that you make time to spend with your partner. If babysitting
issues or financial constraints make that difficult, plan a fun, cost-effective
date
night at home. The key is that you both are making a concerted effort to
spend quality time together but allowing one another the space to have an
outside community as well.6
Ditch the Sweatpants
It's
easy to get into a routine of being overly casual, especially if you've been
with your partner for many years. But an easy way to rekindle romance is to
think back to those early days of dating—preparing for date night with an
at-home manicure, getting a fresh shave and haircut, or choosing a fun outfit.
And
while that may sound superficial, there are other ways to remind yourself just
how attractive and energized you are. Keeping up with your physical
fitness boosts confidence and well-being,7 and can double as a way to spend time with your
partner, whether it's taking a new workout class, training for a 5K, or
prepping healthy meals together on Sundays.
Keep Up the Courting
Another
way to keep the flame burning in a marriage is to continue courting your spouse.8 Make
time for a date night every week, even if it's to get ice cream or cook a new
recipe together. If money is a concern, trade babysitting with another couple,
or put the baby in a stroller and walk around the mall or go to the park.
It also helps to
continue doing the things you did when you were dating. Leave your partner
little love notes where he or she will find them. Make them coffee in the
morning. Buy their favorite snack at the grocery store. Many couples report
that these types of small gestures help them feel
like newlyweds.
Forgive Quickly
Often
marriages begin to fall apart when one person holds a grudge. In fact, research
has shown that feeling contempt
toward your partner almost always festers and can lead to divorce if it's
never resolved.9 As a result, try to forgive your partner as quickly
as possible.
Remember
that forgiveness
is just as much a gift you give yourself. Holding a grudge takes up mental and
emotional space and almost always impacts your health and stress levels.10 Opt
for a forgiving spirit and reap the positive benefits, which range from better
sleep to stress relief.
And, if
you have wronged your partner in some way, be sure to sincerely
apologize and ask for forgiveness. Truly listen to what your partner has to
say and why he or she is upset to understand how to do things differently in
the future.
Don't Try to Control Your Partner
Give
your spouse room to be the person he or she is and learn to collaborate on
decisions. In healthy marriages, both partners have mutual respect for one another
and don't demand their own way. They also give their spouse the freedom to come
and go without having to ask permission. They don't monitor or control one
another. Be sure you're collaborating with your partner on any big decisions,
from spending to raising children.
Partners who try
to control one another often become emotionally
abusive or display signs of financial abuse,
which frequently leads
to divorce.
Get Help Before It's Too Late
If
you're still having challenges or you fear that divorce might be imminent,
consider counseling
or couples therapy.11 Often your or your partner's workplace will have
access to an employee assistance program (EAP), where you can receive some
initial help or get a referral. You also could consider meeting with a trusted
religious leader if you share faith and then move beyond that if needed.
It's
no secret that it takes work to protect, nurture, and grow a marriage. Between
work schedules, children, and other obligations, sometimes it can seem
impossible to maintain that partnership. And when problems arise, for some couples
it's healthier to divorce
and go your separate ways,1 while for others, it's a better choice to work on your
relationship.
If
you want to stay with your partner but navigate the bumps in the road, there
are proactive measures—from improving communication to infusing more romance in
day-to-day life—you can take to prevent divorce. Here are 13 ways to improve
your partnership.
Rule Out the Idea of Divorce
Just
toying with the idea that you might be better off outside of the marriage can
put a major strain on the relationship, even if you never voice those thoughts.
In fact, that thought alone can cause a major break in your motivation to make
the marriage better.2
To combat this risk to your marriage, decide ahead of time that divorce
is not an option. Making this commitment will help you focus on how you can
make the marriage better and stronger, rather than thinking about what life
might be like outside the marriage.
Honor and Respect Your Partner
People
inevitably change over time and understanding, appreciating, and adapting to
those changes is critical. To help remind yourself of the wonderful person you
married, make a list of their best qualities. This exercise will help you
remember why you fell in love in the first place. It also helps to vocalize how
much you appreciate your partner's quirks and eccentricities.3
Let
your partner know every day—through compliments or thank yous—that you
appreciate all that he or she does.
These
little expressions are like deposits in the bank. You don't want to make
withdrawals from your marriage without ever making any deposits. So, be sure
you are doing things that honor your partner for who he or she is.
Communicate Regularly
In
the age of smartphones, Netflix, and work-from-home lifestyles, it's easy to get
distracted and go days without having a real conversation with your spouse. Communicating
openly about your life, interests, dreams, frustrations, and feelings
is an important way to foster
intimacy in a relationship.4 Likewise, it's crucial that you listen to your partner
voice his or her thoughts, too. Sometimes it's helpful to set aside 30 minutes
each day without interruptions where you can talk without any distractions.
Share Financial Expectations and Budgets
Many
marriages are fraught with disagreements over finances.5 Often couples bring different
expectations about money to a relationship and find it difficult to see the
other person's perspective. Coming to an agreement on how to handle money
together is a critical component of successful marriages. Agree on a budget and
an approach to debt and then live within your limits.
For
some, it's important to differentiate between a need and a want. While both are
legitimate, couples face problems if they try to fulfill all their wants
without considering their budget. Likewise, it's important to incorporate some
flexibility in your budget to allow for entertainment, gifts, vacations, and
other activities that help strengthen the marriage.
Give Each Other Space
One
of the hardest things to balance in a marriage is the right amount of time to
spend together. Too much can feel like smothering while too little can be
interpreted as inattentive. So, when your partner needs space or a night out
with friends, offer to watch the kids or run the errands so they can easily get
that time.
It's
also important that you make time to spend with your partner. If babysitting
issues or financial constraints make that difficult, plan a fun, cost-effective
date
night at home. The key is that you both are making a concerted effort to
spend quality time together but allowing one another the space to have an
outside community as well.6
Ditch the Sweatpants
It's
easy to get into a routine of being overly casual, especially if you've been
with your partner for many years. But an easy way to rekindle romance is to
think back to those early days of dating—preparing for date night with an
at-home manicure, getting a fresh shave and haircut, or choosing a fun outfit.
And
while that may sound superficial, there are other ways to remind yourself just
how attractive and energized you are. Keeping up with your physical
fitness boosts confidence and well-being,7 and can double as a way to spend time with your partner,
whether it's taking a new workout class, training for a 5K, or prepping healthy
meals together on Sundays.
Keep Up the Courting
Another
way to keep the flame burning in a marriage is to continue courting your
spouse.8
Make time for a date night every week, even if it's to get ice cream or cook a
new recipe together. If money is a concern, trade babysitting with another
couple, or put the baby in a stroller and walk around the mall or go to the
park.
It
also helps to continue doing the things you did when you were dating. Leave your
partner little love notes where he or she will find them. Make them coffee in
the morning. Buy their favorite snack at the grocery store. Many couples report
that these types of small gestures help them feel
like newlyweds.
Forgive Quickly
Often
marriages begin to fall apart when one person holds a grudge. In fact, research
has shown that feeling contempt
toward your partner almost always festers and can lead to divorce if it's
never resolved.9
As a result, try to forgive your partner as quickly as possible.
Remember
that forgiveness
is just as much a gift you give yourself. Holding a grudge takes up mental and
emotional space and almost always impacts your health and stress levels.10 Opt for a forgiving spirit and reap
the positive benefits, which range from better sleep to stress relief.
And,
if you have wronged your partner in some way, be sure to sincerely
apologize and ask for forgiveness. Truly listen to what your partner has to
say and why he or she is upset to understand how to do things differently in
the future.
Don't Try to Control Your Partner
Give
your spouse room to be the person he or she is and learn to collaborate on
decisions. In healthy marriages, both partners have mutual respect for one
another and don't demand their own way. They also give their spouse the freedom
to come and go without having to ask permission. They don't monitor or control
one another. Be sure you're collaborating with your partner on any big
decisions, from spending to raising children.
Partners
who try to control one another often become emotionally
abusive or display signs of financial abuse,
which frequently leads
to divorce.
Get Help Before It's Too Late
If
you're still having challenges or you fear that divorce might be imminent,
consider counseling
or couples therapy.11
Often your or your partner's workplace will have access to an employee
assistance program (EAP), where you can receive some initial help or get a
referral. You also could consider meeting with a trusted religious leader if
you share faith and then move beyond that if needed.
