The meaning of dreams?

Two nights ago I had another awakening dream...

I was in a car, a guy (male friend perhaps, or brother) was driving, there were a couple of other people in the car. We were driving through what appeared to be the Grand Canyon. The roads were winding, and the the driver just kept driving straight and missed the turn. We plummeted over the cliff-as we floated through the air (very Thelma and Louise)I recall thinking to myself, "well, way to go-you missed the turn, and now we are doing to die."

The car, instead of smashing into the ground, coasted, like an airplane. We landed, and parts of the car (which were now airplane parts) scattered all over the ground. Someone told me to only take things that could be used for shelter. I took a blanket, and some flat parts of the "plane" We started walking in the desert, and I recall seeing cactus, yellow flowers, and signage about 'texas' or something related. I do not recall the rest of the dream.

I have spent years trying to interpret my dreams, but the difficult part, is responding to the dreams. So many discard dreams, and while, yes, some are merely reflections of your day-but I believe so many of them are a reflections of our soul, our desires, and our destiny.

I have driven my car off of the cliff-now, I need to only take the things that I need to survive. I need solitude, I need reflection, I need to look inward to figure out what I need to take, and how to rebuild my shelter.
