Did you wake up with a jerk, shortness of breath, and beads of sweat on your forehead? Did you see yourself driving an out-of-control car or being in front of one? You found yourself helpless, scared, and entirely at the mercy of the out-of-control car. Take a glass of water and calm yourself.
Don’t worry; you’re safe. And surprisingly, dreaming of an out-of-control car is more common than you think.
While you might be inclined to forget this scary dream as soon as possible, it might be worth it to interpret your dreams and find the valuable information your subconscious is trying to tell you. It is not just a figment of your imagination; it is a guidance and assurance for you to feel better about some aspects of your life.
The dreams you experience reflect events and the culmination of what your mind perceives those events as. Today, you have this opportunity to analyze and find the most suitable interpretation for your dream about an out-of-control car.
In real life, we all try to drive a car as smoothly as possible with full precautions and care. But sometimes, hard-luck can happen. As soon as you lose control of the vehicle, everything starts going haywire, and your very life is at risk. But in your dream, to see an out-of-control car may mean you are letting go or losing a job, relationship, or something equally as important.
For instance, if things go out of control in your professional life and you can do little to stop it, it’s natural to feel you no longer are in a responsible position. Similarly, if a situation or event has made you feel helpless, it is easy to believe it can no longer be saved or fixed.
The same goes for a relationship. You cannot continue being in one if your partner wants to end it. This dream may also manifest from a traumatic incident where you lost control of your vehicle and sustained injuries. The mental impact could leave a mark for a long time, and you may experience it again in your dreams.
Interpretations of dreams of an out-of-control car
Cars usually represent work, careers, and sometimes relationships. If the car in your dream is out of control, you experience how it would look if your work and career were out of check. It can specifically refer to work-life balance. Maybe the car is in control, and you are not. Here it seems like the career is driving you, not the other way around.
So, if you’re driving a car out of control, it means your life is out of control, and you’re the one driving it and responsible. Unless, of course, in the dream, you know it’s your best friend’s car, then her life is out of control, and you may be a factor in causing it, or you’re trying to help bring her life back into control. It depends on the context of the dream and what else was going on in that dream to get you there.
There may be many interpretations, but the general interpretations of why out-of-control cars appear in your dreams are listed below.
1. You should strive towards your goal:
This dream indicates that your fears may be slowing you down. As cars are associated with driving, they are associated with moving in the right direction in the waking world. Your efforts to stop this car reflect your hesitance to commit yourself fully to the objective at hand.
The wisdom in your dream is primarily meant for you, and you must understand the message that it’s trying to deliver. The out-of-control car represents you handling a challenge with mental courage and confidence. It may also mean that there may be some task or mission that would stimulate your mind soon.
The turbulent car can also symbolize the challenges you face in your work or personal life. The good news is that car dreams symbolize that you are heading in the right direction. Focus on your future and stay alert!
2. Take charge of your life
This dream serves as a warning of what will happen if you don’t take charge of your life. This challenge might not be the one you want, but you can overcome anything with foresight and logic. Once you start taking responsibility, you will accomplish all the missions you have been dreading.
Indulge in acquiring control and enjoy your successes. You need to own the narrative around yourself, and you will be complete once you have self-discipline and motivation. You have attained a sense of self-reliance and independence.
3. You may be missing motivation
This interpretation of your scary dream is connected to motivation for life. You desperately crave change, and perhaps you are already thinking in that direction. Gather your courage and think of your mental health to move forward from here.
These dreams serve as a sign and a wake-up call that you need to be more honest with yourself regarding your desires and needs. You may feel a hole in your sense of direction and confusion about which way to turn.
This dream right now is your chance to transform the unhappiness in your waking life. Because of the nature of interpretations of such a dream, a dreamer may encounter it several times during a year.
4. Gather perspectives and communicate
The dream of an out-of-control car is also linked to your readiness to communicate, exchange ideas and reach a middle ground in problem-solving, especially in a relationship. You must also be sure to consider other people’s perspectives regarding movement and control. It is also essential to try to forget the past. It is essential to recognize that the only way forward is to focus on yourself and change your behavior in certain situations.
Some situations may seem out of your control, but eventually, you will be able to grasp the situation, find the solution and succeed! The out-of-control car dream also indicates that you will soon be making visits to friends and family since it suggests ‘movement.’
Final Word
You need to reflect on the situation you’re currently experiencing and your thoughts on it. Are you reacting emotionally or pragmatically to the issue? Do you feel you have no control over the situation or thought you might not be on the right track to solve the problem?
Which interpretation makes the most sense? It’s also important to question if you should have control of the car at all times. The car may represent freedom, going somewhere, or direction, etc. Maybe your intuition tells you that the decision you’re making in a particular situation is reckless and will end badly.
It is also a clear indication of some things stressing you out in waking life, and it urges you to explore your mind and root out the cause of this worry.
