Hi Frances, very interesting dream. Are you in the dream school offered by This Jungian Life or another? How is that going?
What do you make of the purse, is it the one you carry with you currently, or one from your youth?
The items inside the purse are something I would focus on. Both are essential resources in getting by, ensuring we have means and directionality. The car is a very common symbol often representing our psychological movement, autonomy, and will. The wallet containing money may speak to a sense of options when moving through the world, having what you need and the ability to spend it as you please.
Leaving home or misplacing both wallet and keys usually brings us a lot of worry in waking life. How can you leave, go about your day, get things done without it? What is the emotional reactions in your dream when you realize it is not there?
I wonder if there is a connection between an arc of life from your younger years and now that this may be tapping into. Perhaps a way you are trying to move on, develop, gather resources and take next steps? And yet something inwardly may be a miss, uncertain of, or need to be acknowledged and consciously cultivated to help you feel prepared?
Yes, I'm in TJL Dream School. There is much rich material in the modules and further amplification by the 3 principals. It's a worthwhile investment. I'm still evaluating the small group of 4 adjunctive dream group I recently began, all of us novices trying our hand at analyzing dreams we present.
The contents of the missing/misplaced purse have associations with, as you note, options and means to go about the day. The wallet most represents identification...concrete data on whom I am in the outer world. The loss of car keys means loss of freedom and escape. My response in the dream to misplacing the purse isn't as frantic as I would have in real life. It's more a determination to keep looking until I find it.
I agree with the possible connection between who I was personally and professionally when younger and where I am now and hope to be in the remaining years.
I hope Dream School continues to be exciting and fruitful. It's so enriching to gather with others and discuss dreams and inner material in an open and explorative environment.
I like your insight about the wallet, the focus of identity and concrete data. A wallet can contain so much! Money, credit cards, change, cash, a picture of loved ones. Quite a rich symbol to explore. And it's interesting that your dream response is not frantic, but rather, propelled further to take on the task at hand. That's a good reflection from the dream ego and where you may be at consciously.
