What Does It Mean to Dream About Cars?
A car in a dream usually speaks of the direction of your life and who is in control. Were you behind the wheel, or was someone else? That is the real question.
In tradition
In traditional dream lore, a car is read as status, a journey, or a matter moving forward. A car running smoothly is seen as things going well.
Psychological view
The car symbolises the way you move through life. If you're driving, you're in control; in the passenger seat, you may be leaving decisions to others. Brakes that fail can point to a process you feel unable to slow down.
Spiritual view
The vehicle of your life's journey; an invitation to ask where you're going, and how fast.
Common versions
Driving a car

Ask yourself
Who was driving the car? Who do you feel you've handed the wheel to in your life lately?
