I Had a Dream Last Night

I dreamed something that felt so real because it's a discussion I once had with my parents that went nowhere. I dreamed that I was at a restaurant with my parents and asked me if I wanted to live on my own. I was so happy about that question because it showed that they understood my fight for independence. But then I told them that I can't realistically live on my own because I still don't have my license or have a car. They told me it doesn't matter because finding a place comes first before a car. That didn't make sense to me because how would I get to work or run errands? In the dream, my parents said that's what good about having a roommate. That I could ask her to take me where I need to go. I was furious with them that they were going to make me depend on someone for transportation instead of letting me buy a car. In the dream I stormed out of the restaurant on them and then the dream ends. I guess that tells me that one) I always seem to fight with my parents when we're eating and two) that when it looks like my parents understand me, they drop a bomb on me that ends with us fighting and me crying in my room with no resolution.

How does this dream compare with your actual reality? Do you live with your parents? Do you have a car and drivers license?

@JewStar4Life: I don't think there is anything wrong with it. If you don't think you need it, fine. But you referred to your "fight for independence" and your desire for a car. A car without a drivers license wouldn't work out very well, so I thought..
...Anyway, however you do it, I hope you can gain the level of independence you wish for in a way that suits you.

@greenmountaingal: I still won't be independent with a license because I would have to borrow my parent's car. I can't afford my own. Sure I may technically have the money for it but that would be blowing my entire life savings for a car. And I probably wouldn't be able to afford the insurance.

@JewStar4Life: I hope you can work things out somehow. Maybe a car on credit and a job that can cover payments + insurance...? Or some other way. Best of luck. May you find the independence you seek.
