Dreams about everyday activities or familiar figures, like your mechanic, can often symbolize aspects of your life that need attention or repair. The mechanic in your dream may represent someone or something that helps you fix problems or maintain your well-being.

The act of picking up a new pen after the old one stopped working could suggest that you're in a phase of transition or change. It might indicate that you're ready to let go of old habits, thoughts, or situations that are no longer serving you, and that you're open to new beginnings or fresh ideas. The pen itself can symbolize communication, creativity, or the ability to express yourself.

Consider what areas of your life might need a "tune-up" or where you might need to replace outdated methods with new ones. Reflecting on these themes can provide insights into your current situation or feelings.
