Mina, your dream is richly layered and seems to reflect various aspects of your subconscious experiences and emotions. The presence of the pastor's wife, who is also a friend, suggests a need for guidance and trusted companionship during turbulent times. The journey to the boat port to smuggle a family to Germany across a tumultuous sea can be interpreted as embarking on a risky, uncertain endeavor in your waking life. The sea's instability might symbolize the emotional turmoil and unpredictability you feel regarding this situation.
Upon receiving the message that the family was deported and returning to Norway, your reaction highlights a sense of skepticism and distrust. This could reflect your underlying feelings towards certain people or situations in your life, where you question their authenticity and motives. The notion that they returned the same way they left, albeit unusually, may signify a cyclical pattern in your life where you feel you are revisiting the same issues or people repeatedly, perhaps without resolution.
The fact that you chose to verify their story, despite your internal doubts, shows a sense of responsibility and a need for clarity, even when your instincts warn you otherwise. This internal conflict between suspicion and duty may be mirroring your real-life struggles with trust and verification.
Driving in separate cars, with your friend's car being faster and more efficient, may symbolize your perception of others being ahead or better equipped in certain aspects of life. The road structure that slows you down reflects the obstacles you feel are hindering your progress. Your careful navigation to the port suggests a methodical and cautious approach to dealing with challenges, even if it means you feel left behind at times.
