Car – A car is a symbol of your ability to act for yourself and accomplish your goals. The car in your dream also symbolizes the amount of control you feel over your life. If the car malfunctions – if it won’t go, or if it won’t stop – then you fear being unable to move toward your goal, or being able to direct your own life. If someone else is driving the car, it is an indication that you feel someone else has control over your choices or circumstances. If the car crashes, it represents an approaching catastrophe, or the fear of an approaching catastrophe.
