Grassy Field
A man and I in a car; he's driving. A lady stands on gravel road to her house motioning for us to go through grassy field, not to go on the road. As we zigzag, the grass starts to get wet, and then marshy, then deeper water that we might get stuck in.

Dream Interpretations
Ronna - The man driving the car could be the man in your life at the moment. If so he is shown as deciding what directions you take in life - a zigzag course that ends in being bogged down.
But could also be representing your felt relationship with a particular man, or males in general. In this sense the man portrays the power of your own womanhood, indicating whether you can meet male energy with your full female energy. The man might also represent your ability to question social conventions and to attack issues with thought, but it is not working too well.
But you are in troubled with your own inner female who may be the influences of your mother in you. Many people do not realise that they have an inner mother equally as powerful as an external mother. You have taken in millions of bit of memory, lessons learnt, life experiences along with all the feelings or problems met by loving and living with your mother, and they are what makes you the person you are. This is true even if your mother was never there for you – you still have all the memories of her not being there for you filed under ‘Mother’. The memories and experience we gather unconsciously change us and are not lost. It is part of you and is symbolised in dreams as a person or event. Such an inner mother can appear in dreams because you are still deeply influenced by what you hold within you. The inner mother can also signify what has been received via genes passed on or ancestral influences.
So I suggest you explore both the man and the woman in you dream by imagine you being them. But do not start thinking about the person or thing, imagine yourself as them – step into their body. Then wait for any feelings to arise and describe them. The most important things about actually understanding your dream rather that interpreting it is to become the dream person or object - to actually completely identify with them as they are in the dream. This needs to be practiced as most people feel the dream person or object is something other than themselves and are often hesitant to become them.
