I dreamed once of the girl I loved and she refused
my love.....the dream was:
She was sitting beside me in my car and it was raining.
I found everything she hold is mine; my mug, my pin,
my walkman, and even my bag. Then the car seemed to
be full of rain water and we started to move. Then a beach
side road appeared and the car disappeared and we began
walking on foot.

Hi Ahmed -
I think you may still be in love with this girl. Rain in dreams tends to symbolize resolution,
and the washing away of old tensions. In the dream she was sitting with you in your car, and
everything she held was yours: your mug, your pin, your walkman, even your bag. Isnt that
how love is? We want to share everything with our lover - what is ours is theirs. And she
was with you in your car, and you were behind the steering wheel. This shows again that you
would like her to travel with you, to join you in your lifes journey. The role which water
plays in your dream is very significant. It is raining so much your car begins to fill up
and you two float away. But there is no disaster or panic. You find a beach side road, the
car disappears, and you walk away on foot.
Water in dreams almost always represents our unconscious mind, and our feelings and emotions.
Your dream is showing you how you feel toward this woman; on an emotional level you still love
her very much and want her to be with you. The tension that is being relieved, that is
symbolized by the rain in the dream, no doubt is the tension you felt when you first asked
her to be with you, and she said no. Maybe now that some time has gone by you can give her
a second chance, and ask her to give you a second chance as well.
I like the fact that you two walk away together at the end of the dream. It bodes well for the future.
