Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning
Dreams of cars represents our drive in life and the direction that we are going in. Driving a car could either be a good or bad symbol depending the context of your dream. Car crashes are so common as it reflects a halt or stop of movement within the dreamers life. Cars that are either stolen or towed represents setbacks and delays in life. New cars emerge when new more powerful ideas, behaviors or relationships take off.
Cars can be symbolic of a Christian ministry. If the person is not a Christian a car symbolizes the way a person lives their life. A car with body damage is indicative of a person who has a careless lifestyle
In a dream, a car represents someone who properly manages his life, for a car is made from many well coordinated parts, and carries many things and transports them from one location to another. If one sees himself riding a litter that is carried by people in a dream, it means that he will preside over people or beget a son who will be elevated in rank. If a traveller sees a car in his dream, it means that his trip will take a slow turn and he will be delayed. A car in a dream also signifies dignity, honor, advancement and attainment. If one sees himself holding to a car or running after it in a dream, it means that he will lobby someone in authority and profit from him as much as his nearness to such a car. If one sees himself riding on a cargo vehicle in a dream, it means suffering from distress and sorrow.
The car is a classic symbol of motivation, and reflects whether or not you are feeling autonomous as you move forward in life. If you are driving and the vehicle is out of control, you may be questioning the choices you are making. If you are riding as a passenger, you may not recognize how you are not taking the reins of responsibility for where you are going. You have given power over to the person driving the vehicle and may be needlessly blaming them for failing. If it is a parent driving you, there may be unconscious attitudes or criticisms you have adopted that are holding you back or diminishing your self-esteem. Vehicle dreams suggest how you feel about your forward movement. If the car is parked, you may have put your sense of direction on hold while you explore new opportunity. The type of vehicle, it's condition, and whether or not you are driving, in control or being driven, will portray your present sense of autonomy. See various types of vehicles under Vehicles and Places of Transportation.
