Felicia,
Let's approach your dream in this way. Look at the house as being you. The friend may represent an aspect of yourself that serves you, a defence mechanism. The driveway leads up to the house, to who you really are. When you look at yourself you realize things about you that you were unaware of, perhaps aspects that you have repressed.
The boat may represent ceratin emotions and or experiences. Something that may have taken the sail out of you, something strong that has sunk into the core of who you are. The metal plumbing underneath the cement is the unconscious aspects that underlye your true feelings/experiences. Perhaps you have not acknowledged these aspects as you should have.
When you begin to hover over the dream self you are dream conscious, you want to take control and you begin to see these aspects that were hidden underneath the concrete foundation. The plumbing underneath, the emotional strenght/friend has disppeared.
The man may be symbolic of your masculine self {see
anima/animus at left}. It could also represent some experience with a male in your waking life. As the masculine self it would represent a loss of those masculine qualities that had provided the strenght that has been lost {
friend disapperaing}. Something has caused you lose the confidence {
a masculine trait} that substained you previously.
If there is a male in your life that the dream is trying to discern then he may have something to do with this loss of confidence. It may involve some conflict in your life having to do with this male. By unintentionally waking yourself before the collision you nay be repressing something about the relationship with this male.
Is there a male living across the stree that you have conflict with? Or is it merely a symbolic statement about inner conflict? Look at your waking life and see where there are such conflicts, a loss of confidence, perhaps conflicts with an actual male. Let me know your thoughts and perhaps we can see deeper into the dream message.
