This summer, all going well, I'll be moving from this house and this lovely quaint town to a completely different environment, city life.
I do know it's right for me to leave this house, I also think it's best for me to leave this place, living somewhere else might help me to let go and move on. I've always loved Amsterdam, where my late husband originated from and where we lived during the early years of our marriage. My daughter and her husband are giving me encouragement, I'll be nearer to where they live for one thing and they also feel it''ll be good  for me. On the other hand, my brother-in-law thinks I'm crazy and I'm pretty sure when I get round to telling others I'll get more resistance. I sometimes wonder if I'm doing the right thing and the other night I looked at the photo of my late husband and asked him out loud if this move would be good for me.
That same night I had a dream that I was driving through a street and saw a car coming towards me driving in the middle of the road. I panicked, thinking I must be driving the wrong way through a one-way street and must've missed the sign. A cyclist was coming also from the opposite direction, then suddenly he moved over to the side, the car then also moved over and I drove through telling myself it wasn't a one-way street after all.  
What would you say this dream was telling me? my first thought on recalling the dream was that going through a one-way street the wrong way means I'm not heading in the right direction. Then on thinking about the rest of the dream I thought maybe it's saying whilst I think maybe I'm not heading in the right direction, I am really. Can anybody help me to interpretate it better please? (This was a couple of weeks ago and is still vivid in my mind.)

If you had experienced collisions in your dream with the car and bike going in the opposite direction, I would have agreed with you 100% that it appears that you may not be doing anything wise by wanting to move from your house in Amsterdam.

However the fact that both the car and bike moved aside to allow you to continue onwards suggests to me that as you expected you will first experience resistance from your other family members, but that very soon they will come to their senses and realise that such a move would be in your best interests, and consequently there is no point trying to stop you from doing this any further.

Which means that in a round about way the dream is telling you that although there will continue to be people who will resist the move you are making, in the end it will be seen as in your best interests and eventually get them off your back.

Although it will not always be plain sailing ahead (an easy uncomplicated course of action), go ahead with the move anyway with your inner wisdom's blessing.

Bon voyage,

Hallo, Vlinder, nice to meet you!

That was an interesting dream you had and your own deductions are bound to be the right ones, since no one is in a better position than the dreamer when analyzing our own dreams.

Emotions are also a good clue when going through a dream: you "panicked", as we are bound to do when something is coming hard and fast towards us. Maybe you feel you haven't had the time to come to terms with this move, that it has been thrown at you, rather than being your own decision, and that is why you sometimes panic and have doubts about the wiseness of it all.

But, once obstacles move out of your way, you find out it is alright after all. When moving to another location, there are many practical and emotional obstacles to overcome: deciding on dates, deciding what to take, who takes it, paying for services... wondering if you will still get to see your old friends, if your health will be better or worse, if the weather and landscape are what you need... Most of these things we are not even conscious about, but we feel them as a sort of general anxiety that usually lasts as long as the wait for the actual move, so I think you are going through a normal stressy phase. As you say, you move to a completely different environment, so it is only normal to wonder how it will turn out for you.

Since we fear mostly those things we ignore, you could try writing down a list of the advantages you perceive in the move (you may include those pointed out to you by your family and friends, or just those that you really feel will be better for you). Then write down a list of the things you think you will miss from your quaint old town. See which list carries more weight with you, talk it over with people who know of your decision to move, get some feedback.

And, once you do move, remember to take advantage of those things you might have missed in your little town , like theaters, films, museums... Make sure you make the most of the bright side of the move, because you might feel a little disoriented in your new home at first, until you get in to the new habits and routines. So avoid stagnation and move as much as you can, meet new people, sign up for a course, a gym or anything that you have wanted to try but couldn't till now.

Best of luck! I love moving homes: in my case, each move has always been for the best. I hope it is so for you as well.  

Thanks so much eye of tiger and pirbid for your views on this. I did also wonder if there wasn't a message there at all, just my subconscious mind showing in the dream the fact that I wasn't sure of where I was going.

e.o.t.:
I never looked at it in that way, thanks for pointing that out! I'm glad that wasn't the case then, because in my heart I feel that it is the right decision.

Pirbid:
I have made up the balance and I know there'll be a lot I'll miss about this place, people too. At the end of the day it's where I think I'll be able to have more peace in myself. It will be with mixed feelings though when I leave here. My husband and I came to live here in 1999 and we built up a good business here.  We had plans for this house, a lot of which we'd already carried out, in fact we'd just finished some major work when he became ill. It was in this house that he drew his last breath.

Thanks again both of you, your comments have been a great help.

love & light,
Vlinder
