@mayofeb2020, Certainly no expert by any means but I have had the almost identical similar recurring dream as well. Not recently thank goodness but each time was memorable because I needed to be at a certain destination and became frantic in my car search. Going in wrong directions, too much time involved with deadline looming, and with no one who could help find the car...

One Dream book suggested that for most of us, our car is what "transports us through life to meet responsibilities, keep impt. appointments, etc." Suggests that the dreamer is experiencing outward challenges in meeting obligations or moving through life at the moment as desired...just one interpretation but it made sense in my case. Sometimes for me it occurred whenever I was faced with some difficult decisions and felt lost and afraid of not making the best one for the situation.

Like you, those specific dreams may have been trying to aid me in better decision making but they surely made me more aware of noting where I park my car. I've had that "real time" experience of forgetting where my car was parked in very large lots and can become panicky before finally tracking it down. Now I make sure I know what aisle, #, letter, or part of the store sign I park in line with.
