In the waking world,carsare so much more than a machine.
They are a means of escape, an instrument of freedom, a sign of independence.
As such, it makes sense thatdreamsabout cars are actually much more complex than they might appear.
These all have different meanings, even though the main through-line is the same: the car.
Who is driving?
AsVocata George, Ph.D., a Jungian analyst from the C.G.
Jung Education Center of Cleveland, toldHuffington Post, “Dreams about automobiles can be symbolic in several ways …
Automobiles can also be symbolic of the journey of your life.”
This can have a great impact on the meaning of the dream.
If someone other than you is at the wheel, pay attention to who it is.
Is it someone you know?
Is it someone you trust?
How are you feeling about the fact that they are driving you?
Which seat are you in?
What state is the car in?
Another factor to understanding the meaning of a car dream is the state the car is in.
Is it a beautiful, expensive, well-kept car without any damage?
Dreaming of buying a new car, however, suggests you are feeling positive about a new opportunity.
You might literally be feeling lost or stuck in some aspect of your waking life.
To dream that you car is broken down has a similar meaning.
Dreaming that you are in a car wreck or accident obviously isn’t positive, but the details matter.
To dream of fixing up a car represents your attempt to get back on track in your life.
