Dreaming of Home

Last night I dreamed I was in Chile (my hometown) and I was with my sister. I was riding a motorcycle with her and it was difficult to drive but I managed and I drove through the streets, but there were too many people there and they made it difficult to keep going.
I have been constantly dreaming of my home town, flying over it, or walking the streets in the city and also with my sister, riding bikes or motorcycles.
Do you think all dreams have a message or some of them not?

In dreams, we return to our home or hometown when we have left something of ourselves there, this could be happy memories or loved ones, it can also be because it was a place and time where we felt carefree. 
Home is where the heart is, and home is where you start your journey in the dream. The journey is an important symbol and relates to the life journey you are on with its many twists and turns, obstacles relate to the obstacles you come up against in your life journey and the motorbike represents the resources and energy you have available in order to move forward and make progress with the direction you have chosen.

The motorbike or cycle is a single person mode of transport and this helps you understand when the journey you are on is one which you must travel alone. I do not mean that you are alone in the sense of being single but what you are learning and experiencing in life is something that you alone must negotiate and learn to come to terms with. This might link with the fact that you have had to leave your own town or country; this can be a lonely experience which people around you will not truly understand. They say home is where the heart is and living in a new town or country and having to leave family and loved ones behind can bring personal anguish which is difficult for other people to fully appreciate.

In your dream you drove the motorbike and although you did find it difficult you managed to ride it and at the same time keep your sister on track as well. This explains how you have previously chosen a route or path for your life to take and at times you have wondered if you made the right choice, but you carried on regardless. You have also maintained closeness with your sister even if you are not living close to her now. The fact that you keep returning to her in your dreams means that you still want and need her in your life and are not fully ready to give that bond up. 
You dreamed that there were many people that blocked your way forward and this could be symbolic for the people in your life who stand between you and where you want to be.
Flying to your home town is simply a way for you to astral travel there.
What you need to work out is why you want to keep returning home, have you fully come to terms with your new life elsewhere?

In another stage of that dream, there was a concert in the town. I think somebody told me there were only two tickets left. A friend of mine was going and I told him to meet me in the city center but he told me it would be impossible to find each other with so many people there. I think I finally went on my own but the concert didn't sound good at all.

Then I wanted to take my father for a meal. I thought of a Mexican restaurant which was very cheap and the food was good. Suddenly, we were in the restaurant but the food looked like burgers with sauce. Talking to the people at the restaurant we found out that the owner had died  not long ago. We went out with our food and then I decided it would be better to leave it in the car while we were going somewhere else.

This is perhaps a continuation from the first part of the dream, the concert wasn't all it was expected to be, now, this can either describe the fact that the journey you have chosen isn't all that you expected, or that returning home wouldn't be as perfect as you think it would be. Not being able to find your friend with so many other people around is also simple to understand because it explains how you are concerned that you will not be able to see your true friends any more because of all the other people who take up time and place in your life. Moving away from the security of old friends into the new big wide world so to speak!

Later, you wanted to take your father for a meal which explains how you want to be able to take care of him and provide what he needs to be happy and content, the food you are given in the dream does not meet with your expectations and this relates to how you are unable to provide the care you would like to give him.

Shops and restaurants are used to symbolise the places where we go to get what we want or need, they can be used to describe what is available around us to provide for our physical and spiritual needs, the fact that the shop/restaurant owner had died is kind of telling you that this stage of your life has died and you must move forward and accept that you cant go back. 

You are trying desperately to cling on to your old life while at the same time move forward with the new one. You want your family and old friends to be part of your new life but find it increasingly difficult to maintain this ideal.
