Cars and their movement represent the way you progress through your life on a day-to-day basis. Therefore a parking lot symbolizes a temporary stopping of that process either due to a sense of feeling stuck or because of a conscious choice to attend to something before moving on.
If a dream has a parking lot in it at any point, consider that as a thematic lens through which to view the entire dream; you are in some sort of holding pattern while an issue is being worked out before you can resume your journey in life.
[1]Mentioning the lack of movement in your life, a parking lot may represent your inability to get going toward your goals.

This may be because you have parked too close to the issues of others and lost touch with yourself.

[4]Dreams of a parking lot symbolize that you are taking a break, stopping in your tracks and checking out. Your dream may be showing you that you’ve been too sedentary, that you may have given up your drive, and that it is time for you to get back into gear and take a chance again.
[5]May mean you are parked and need to get up and get moving. Or, you are going too fast; stop and park for awhile, slow down your pace. Re-evaluate, look things over.
