If you dream about a car crash it can actually meant hat you’re worried about losing something like a job, relationship or even your house, so you need to find the source of that worry. Work out why you’re worried about that thing, and then fix it
The “car accident dream” is directly associated with helplessness in life and it is time for you to have more fun! Each year millions of people dream of a minor or major Car Accident. Equally, in 2013 around 54 million people found themselves in REAL car accidents. But what does it mean to dream of this? The symbol of a car is associated with your own drive, determination and ambitions in life. The impact of a dreams can lead us thinking about our many paths (and ambitions) in waking life. The car is really a symbol of “you” and how you manage your life. The most common dream interpretation of a car accident is that you are out of control, worried about making an error or your fear of being in a real accident.
A traffic collision in dreams can sometimes result in injury, death and also damage and this is no different in your subconscious mind. In the spiritual world accidents (per say!) do not really occur. The vision your sleep could (in some circumstances) and indicate a premonition or alternatively warn you to drive more safely the following day there is something important to consider when analyzing this dream. Firstly, are you the driver or someone else?
The famous dream psychologist from the 1930s Sigmund Freud often referred to accident dreams in his lectures. Many of the theories of Freud have been researched since his books, especially his theory that daily life images sometimes effect our dream state. Therefore, seeing an accident on the TV or computer could result in a dream of an accident. Carl Jung believed that accidents are connected to our own inner fear of obstacles in waking life.
Behind the wheel: The position where you sit in the car is important and can indicate the language of your dreams. Maybe you are wanting more control or that you wish someone else will be in the driving seat for a change! If you are driving the car in your dream then this is about control. Are you lacking control? Is this the control of others?
Often, we feel that others control our every move and if you have recently felt like this then driving a car into an accident can occur. Being a passenger can indicate that you are taking a passive stance towards something in life. This could be managing your time better or alternatively that you are thinking about your relationship. If you are not driving but just sitting at the back of the car during the accident then other people are in control of elements of your life that you need to take back

The time of day: the time of day when the car accident occurred in the dream represents more detail into the dream interpretation. Night: A car accident that occurred at night can illustrate that you are trying to end something difficult in life. In the day: this represent your own wisdom. The hours of the day also refer to our age in life and the day represents our youth! If the accident occurred in the day it could be related to your career, maybe it is time to find new beginnings and hope.
Daily Car Usage: If you use your car daily then it is common to dream of car accidents, especially if you drive to and from work. This is important from a psychological perspective. There are a number of factors that might have resulted in this dream, as follows:
Lack of control: I have touched on this previously, but car accidents in many psychology and dream books denote a sense of feeling out of control.
Protection: An accident in real life automatically puts one into a state of confusion in shock. This feeling is supposed to protect us from any emotional pain or hurt that we are currently feeling. This is no different in the dream world. The car accident could be a symbolism that you need to be protected from a difficult or problematic time. This could have been experiences of the past alternatively experiences forthcoming.
Premonition: Many people contact me to ask if they are in danger of having a car accident - after having this dream. I am sure you may be wondering if to make your normal journey this morning. I will say that this dream is normally symbolic and does not mean it is really going to happen. But I must say this. There is a small chance that “spirit” has sent this dream to you to protect you against a possible accident. This has happened to me before.
