Tonight seems to just be the night for strange vanities, but I’ll bite.

Dreams are by far and away merely your subconscious mind continuing to work on recent problems from your waking life. There are clear symbols, there are not-so-clear symbols and then there are emotions associated with them. It can be jumbled and confusing, but there’s almost always a thread tying it all back to recent concerns of yours.

Describe the dream in greater detail, paying attention to how things looked, how they felt, was this set in the current or in the past? Sunny, dark and threatening? Nice car, beat up old car, familiar car?

This will help you begin to sort out the symbols and associations.

Wild card is the young woman with him. What could she represent? You’re female, unless I’m misinterpreting your screen name.

Pull all this together, work, your late beloved stepfather, a young woman with him, waiting for you, plus the things that would shade it toward positive or negative, happy or sad.

In my experience, nine times out of ten, a lightbulb will go off and you’ll say, well I’ll be, I was worrying about my job and was thinking about my stepfather because he lost his job way back when, or some similar thing.

Work, stepfather, young woman, car, picking you up. Points to the past when you depended upon him, imho. Do you have a sister or stepsister?

That’s at least a start.

Right Dreams are pictures of feelings. Usually feelings you've experienced recently, but sometimes unresolved feelings you've harbored for years triggered by recent experiences. See Waking and Dreaming by Karle, et al
