Car crashes

Freudian psychoanalysis of car crashes as a dream symbol suggest that they represent major events or changes taking place in reality. In a sense, the crash itself points toward a singular point in time when some aspect of your understanding or lifestyle changed. Depending on the circumstances of the crash, it is possible to gain a greater understanding of the meaning behind this vision. For example, if you were driving carefully but were hit by someone else, it could mean you would be blindsided by the bad behavior of others. Alternatively, being a reckless driving and causing the crash yourself could point toward a series of bad decisions, habits or behavior that is leading you to a point of no return.

A terrible car crash

Figuring in a horrific car crash does not bode well for your mental and physical health. You are losing control of your own life and this is manifesting in your dreams. You see no purpose or meaning in living, so you are deliberately making terrible decisions to the detriment of yourself and the people who care about you. On the other hand, this could also be an indication of misguided bravado. You think you can do no wrong, so you take great risks and perform death-defying stunts for the thrill of it. Unfortunately, during one this ill-advised adventures, you could get seriously injured.
