https://journeyintodreams.com/car-accident-dream-meaning/ While it is technically possible to dream of a car crash and then learn someone you know was in one, or even dream of a car crash and be in one later, this is not typical. Car accidents in dreams most often are NOT warning message types of dreams. These dreams do not necessarily reflect the actual physical events that are happening in your life, **but instead the car serves as a symbol for something else.** **Occasionally, these things happen in a dream to serve as a warning message that there is something out of control in our lives.** Learning to develop and trust your intuition can help you better understand when you have dreams which serve as a message. Questions to ask about your car crash dream: What people are in the dream? Who is driving? What types of vehicles are involved? A luxury sports car? A mini-van? A truck? What is the overall mood and tone of the dream? What is the weather? Is it clear and sunny or is it raining and storming? What type of road were we driving on? Dreaming of an accident on a busy highway is different from wrecking on a back country road in a desolate area. When you write down your dream in a dream journal and then answer these questions above, you will have a better understanding of what the dream might be trying to communicate to you. **It’s important to think about how the dream may be a symbol or metaphor for events happening in your waking life.** In many cases, there are central themes that are present in car crash dreams. **Cars and driving generally have a lot to do with control, and how much in control we may be feeling in life. To wreck a car in a dream could mean that you feel like something is out of control in your life.** Ask yourself, is there anything in my waking life that gives me anxiety? Often times our fears are related to feeling a loss of control. **In a dream, a car accident typically does not represent an actual problem while driving, but often symbolize some aspect in our life where we feel out of control or feel like something is about to change drastically.** ... Driving is often associated with our path on our lives. Sometimes in our dreams this can mean we are not exactly where we want to be in our life, **or that there are environmental or societal influences that seem to be out of control.** <----- Mexicans...
