In a post above Kent observed something like "the recurring theme in the dream seems to be identity and value." I can't disagree. Interestingly this might be applied to a dream I had probably 45 or more years ago that I have remembered vividly all these years.
I was a rodman on a survey crew (in reality AND in my dream). The PC had directed me to get down in a creek and "get a flowline shot" underneath a simple timber bridge deck. I remember being indignant that nobody else wanted to crawl under this old county bridge. When I got down there I looked up into the timbers under the deck and spied an old "Lucky Strike" cigarette package. I inspected it and found there were no cigarettes, but it had a huge roll of $100 bills in it wrapped with a red rubber band. Being financially strapped (in reality and my dream) I was overjoyed with my find.
I remember when I woke up I was almost despondent with the fact it was only a dream. I have remembered that all these years.

That was your unconscious providing a compensation to your conscious situation of feeling undervalued and underpaid. Since then, you have, I take it, managed to find rolls of thousand dollar bills in some unlikely places. Who am I to say that you won't still find that Vincent Black Shadow in the dusty barn?

A man has to have hope.
I remember I use to pick up any discarded sack or box I would see along the road when we were working just to check its contents. More than once it aggravated some of my co-workers. One of them scoffed when I explained there may have been a bank robbery and the loot possibly pitched out of a car window. When they thought that to be ludicrous, my explanation was "you never know unless you look".
And btw, I did find a pillow case in an alley one morning that was half full of jewelry a few old coins. I reported it to the police and it was determined to be from a home burglary a few evenings prior. The goodies made it back to their rightful owner.

That was quite a find. Although I'm thinking the "find" and "negotiations" took a little longer than the 15 minutes of the episode we watched...

The unusual thing about the Mexican Coke signs is that they were galvanized and evidently never painted. The galvanizing is an unusual choice by your unconscious and I'd assume that it is based upon some specific association that you have to galvanized things. I mean, they could have been enameled in colors, but got a zinc plating instead, right?

I guess.
I think my psyche related the galvanized signs as sort of a "utilitarian" indications (from times past) like something from an antique shop. As in Coke signs in Mexico aren't as ornate or possibly frivolous as in the U.S. I recognized them as galvanized first and only as hecho en Mexico after I pulled them out to look. But yes, I did expect them to be brightly colored because they were Coca-Cola advertisements.
I guess my dreams would be easier to interpret if I had more classic imagery within them. Like flying, falling, being chased, being in a public place with no clothes or dreaming of hot dogs chasing donuts through a train tunnel. 😉
What's your most common "anxiety" dream? For years after college I would occasionally dream that I was trying to get to class, but hadn't received my course schedule with locations, or that it was finals week and I hadn't been to a single class.
More recently, it sometimes takes the form of being almost time for a concert to start and I can't find the pieces of the sound system to assemble it. That, of course, is the result of 15 years of volunteer work at the arts venue.
Another one is dreaming the need for a restroom and every one I check is so filthy I don't want to use it, or somehow exposed to public view.

Most of my "anxiety" in dreams (not too common) is either being late or lost or separated from someone I'm suppose to meet/ be with. Most dreams (that I remember anyway) always seem to have some sort of social setting (lots of people) mixed with my inner thoughts to accommodate the event with my personal agenda /schedule. I guess one could identify that as "conflict", but I rarely feel anxious over the matter. I usually succeed in my quests.
I do remember a dream from Jr. High when I wound up in the halls at school and was wearing flannel 'jammies (with a teddy bear print, ok?) and was embarrassed. I hid in the bathroom until class started so the population in the halls would be thinned, I guess. I somehow discovered if I rinsed my jammie britches with water in the sink they would turn dark blue and look like blue jeans and no one would be the wiser. Like I said, I usually win in my dreams...somehow. 😉

So, in the imagery of the dream, a Coca-Cola sign made out of pressed metal in Spanish, was something that a connoisseur would appreciate and someone with a more superficial knowledge would overlook?
I worked as a construction inspector and construction manager for a few years...that job did not agree with me, I had anxiety dreams every night. Wake up in a cold sweat with the heart pounding in full panic mode.
The source of my anxiety is either my kids (3 sons, 1 daughter and 6 grandsons) or my equipment (four field crews worth).
I was contemplating the thread title, which must reflect a knowledge of vehicles manufactured before most of us were born.

(Like DK's cat)
We had a female cat named "Doozey" until recently, she was 15. Doozey was a bastardization of Deuce (second in the litter). Her brother Ouncy did not survive being OD'd on ringworm medication by the cat rescue but she did. He was only with us a couple of weeks before he died, she was a tabby, he looked like a Siamese mix (same litter).
Peo

Since dreams typically contain so much material specific to the dreamer's associations and unconscious, they are generally for the individual, so it is hardly surprising the the symbols and associations in paden's dream mean nothing to you. Dreams tend to have a common structure, but their content is anything but collective.
People in Kansas only dream that their dreams can have some meaning.

I think Paden has mentioned that he is a watcher of Jay Leno's Garage on CNBC. (I am too) excellent show for automotive interests.
There have been Deusenbergs featured a few times. I believe Leno has some of the rarest and quite a few in his collection.

My observation would be that some personality types tend to be more spooked by the idea that dreams are significant and meaningful than others. The Divine Bovine is an engineer, so most likely his personality is centered, as engineers tend as a class to be, upon what is right in front of him, not what might be just around the corner or yet to happen.
Shirley Booth starred in the 1960's TV show, Hazel. Her catch phrase, used in nearly every episode, had the word "doozy" in it.
Dream analysis falls into the same category of bunkum as analyzing the writings of Jonathon Swift for the sole purpose of identifying every individual insertion of scatological satire. It can be done, but is of no value.
