I dreampt I was driving a van with bottons that made it stir left and right and also faster or slower. I came to a turn on a mountain and couldnt turn fast enough so I went over the cliff. I can still see me falling and seeing a big, very big pool at the bottom, hoping that I will atleast fall into it. I did but barely at the far end. As i landed, ofcourse water started coming in and I reached for my seat belt and thought to myself, is this the end? I then woke up.

Is there someone or some situation in your life at this time that is:
1- "pressing your buttons" (an english expression for making you mad - & relates to the buttons you use to steer the vehicle in the dream),
2- which then causes you to lose control of yourself ("going over the edge" of the cliff in the dream)
3- as a result, in the dream you find yourself in "over your head" (another expression meaning that you lose confidence in your ability to handle matters - relates to the image of the waters as they fill the vehicle you were driving).
Could it be that something very specific like this has happened to you recently? In other words, has someone specifically pushed your buttons, driven you over the edge, only to find that you're now way in over your head?
If not, perhaps then the dream is reminding you to not wait too long before you take control of the overall direction of your life, otherwise you might find yourself feeling veeery uncertain and veeery hopeless about how to deal with matters if you wait too long to act. It may be much harder for you to control what happens later than it is right now... that sort of thing.
Hope this helps.

Let me analyze
Driving a van = life journey, how you go thru life.
Mountain and cliff = problems, difficulties in life
very big pool at the bottom = safety zone, support
The dream is telling you that you are the person who wants to risk. However, you do need some sort of support in life. You project mountain and cliff in dreams, those are the symbols of how you confront with difficulties. You also projected a big pool. That shows that you need someone to be your support. Subconsciously you want to have someone or something to be you back up. You want a back up plan all the time. Even it fails, you do not get hurt that much. That dreams simply reveals your personalities.
I could be wrong, but that is how I see from your dream

I agree. The way you are driving (with buttons) means that you feel insecure with your control in an area or all of your life. This insecurity and doubt of yourself leads to a bigger fear which is that there is a dread waiting for you that you will not be able to control. The anxiety which is the water comes crashing down around you seeking to suffocate you and even your seat belt meant to offer security is now a restraint holding you down which you at best can only feel clumsy as you try and remove it. So, something is causing you to feel inadequate, doubtful, fearful and clumsy.
Of course that's just what I see compared to my own dreams that are similar.

Sounds like a loss of control dream.
-moving van with buttons, hard to control where you are going.
-Over the cliff, loss of control
-Water flooding in, an overpowering force pushing down on you
-seat belt, grasping for a saftey line.
I'd say there is something in your live that is changing that you have no control over and you feel it will disrupt or ruin your life as you know it.

o.k what i see is that you are living your life unbalanced - sometimes your good - sometimes your bad - sometimes you listen - some other times you don't and here is what the dream it's alla bout you have to take a decision near the future- but becareful what are you going to choose.. if you choose the bad way you will end up at the cliff - but this is an alert so you can take a good and wise decision and you will turn fast enough and keep on the right way. blessings

It's probably just one of those confusing dreams that slings you around alot until you wake up with your head in a whirl. I've had a lot of dreams like that. In fact a few of them were very similar to what you described except the car never had buttons, the brake just comes off somehow and the car starts roling, and i'm afraid i've never had a pool, just a big black hole.

It means u are rushing into something that is new and exciting but u haven't yet figured if its gonna work for u or not (new relationship/job?????) which is why u see yourself falling into something that u are unsure of.....also there is that predicament u face when u're trying to reach for your seat belt.....you're obviously in a no win situation.....and u're looking for an escape ......
whatever that is currenly on in your life has a direct or indirect connection to this dream.......it's not all fantasy .....look at the long term .

yes, the interpretation is an easy one.
dreams are random flashes of electro-stimuli throughout the brain when its at rest, sometimes accessing memories, sometimes accessing the creative portion of the brain, sometimes accessing both, creating vivvid and realistic dreams that have no meaning at all. other than happenstance.
enjoy the show, next time try to think popcorn during a dream, see if you experience the flavour and smell.
have fun

Learn to interpret ur own dreams because only u could say exactly what it is. But i will say Its a highly spiritual dream. Think of the mountain of God. ur van is ur awareness about what emotion (anger, laughter etc)can do. it can lead u to God or bring u down to nothingness. if u have love u have all things.

There are two types of minds-
1.CONSCIOUS MIND
2.SUB CONSCIOUS MIND
In your conscious mind state you must have seen people driving their vehicles at high speeds and their accidents which must have created a fear in your sub conscious mind about the vehicles.At night when you sleep,the conscious mind goes to rest and the sub conscious mind becomes active.The fear and all the secrets in that part of your mind(sub conscious) is presented almost clearly infront of your eyes which is rather called a NIGHTMARE
