Car Accident Dreams

Car Accident Dream Definition

To dream about a car accident often hints at the dreamer feeling out of control. A car is made up of many different moving parts and you’re in the drivers seat in control. If some of those parts aren’t working, it can cause a crash. Much like a car, your own life is made up of many different facets with you at the wheel – if some of those parts aren’t going how you’d like, it can feel like your spinning out of control. This represents itself in a car accident dream.

A car accident appearing in your dream could be indicative that you need to let go of instant gratification in your real life. Think about the rush that race car drivers get when they drive fast. You might be chasing that same feeling. However, that can lead to a car accident and a car accident is a reminder to take life at a normal speed.

Car accident dreaming is very common and shouldn’t always be taken as a sign of danger. So, let’s take a look at car accident dreams and why seeing a car accident isn’t as scary as you might think.
