Car crash dream..what does this mean?

Question

The last two nights i have had dreams of rear ending another driver. The first night i was alone in my car and was almost like i didnt even bother breaking and smashed into the rear of another car..my attitude was like "whatever" as i smashed into 'em.But also i had the thought (in the dream) that i should've invested in more car insurance..(bc in reality i only have basic insurance that only covers the other driver) The next night i dreamt i was driving a huge van with my mother in the passenger seat. And this time the breaks failed and i rear ended 2 diff cars and then ran over a guy. In the dream my mom said she'd take the blame and quickly switched seats with me. What does all of this mean??

Answer 1

Assuming you haven't been in a serious accident and you're not doing something stupid like driving drunk, then the suggestions that you stop driving or that this is a dream about auto safety are absurdly literal.

The fact that you had the same motif two nights in a row, and the situation was more dire in the second dream makes me think this is a pretty urgent message from your subconscious. The common theme that strikes me besides car wrecks is responsibility, or lack of it. In the first dream your driving and attitude are irresponsible. In the second dream your actions are not irresponsible but someone else takes responsibility for the situation, and your going along with it is irresponsible. Mothers are really loaded images and you don't tell us anything about your relationship with your mother (and if she's alive), so we could be missing all kinds of nuances here. Assuming a healthy relationship with your mother, it seems likely that she represents maturity in your dream. Also consider how you use the words "wreck" and "car wreck". I've heard all kinds of negative things, such as bad relationships, called "wrecks" and "car wrecks". Put those two things together and the dreams could be saying that 1) your irresponsible, immature self/attitudes/behavior are putting you in danger of a wreck in some aspect of your life, be it job, relationship, family, whatever; and 2) your mature self is ready to take charge ("get in the driver's seat"), even though that might seem outrageous or illogical to the immature self.

Another twist on this is that the mother figure could be seen as overfunctioning. It could be your own mother is overfunctioning in your life, not letting you develop as an adult, or maybe your own motherly instincts/behaviors are overfunctioning. It's a common theme for women especially that being too involved in nurturing makes their lives unbalanced.

Answer 2

Driving and deaths in dreams usually indicates change. You didn't care when you ran over people. Maybe you are confident of the changes currently in your life.

According to Dreamcrowd:

The car in your dream may symbolize the physical self or ego development and ego function. In that, it represents the way that you travel through your life's journey. Consider all of the details in the dream, including its emotional content (e.g. difficulty of the road, identity of the driver, direction of the incline). Recurring car dreams usually deal with life's major themes that may include issues of control and sensibility. By carefully examining this dream, you may gain insight into important areas of life, including to how well you are navigating from one stage of your life to another, if you are assertive and take charge or are passive. Dreaming about traveling in a car is a very, very common dream theme that provides valuable information in regard to a specific part of or long-standing theme in your life's journey.
To dream of a crash, indicates that your beliefs, lifestyle, or goals are clashing with another's. It may also represent a shocking situation or painful experience. Alternatively, crashes may forewarn of your dangerous or careless driving habits. To dream that a plane crashes, signifies that you have set overly high and unrealistic goals for yourself and are in danger of having it come crashing down. Alternatively, your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt toward the goals you have set for yourself is represented by the crashing airplane; you do not believe in your ability to attain those goals. Loss of power and uncertainty in achieving your goals are also signified.
