Benedita LumeA sinking car shows how the way you move through life is being overtaken by a tide of feeling. When the water climbs over the things you have built, the way you move forward simply stops.
The weight of what you cannot control can pull you down. You find that the direction you once steered is now subject to a much larger and more powerful force.
I have felt my own footing slip when my heart became too full, dear. There is a strength in knowing when to let go of the wheel. You carry the capacity to find your way back to the surface.
A river or a lake brings the dream into the quiet rhythm of your community or the stillness of your private life. Driving into these places suggests the way you steer your life is being pulled into the currents of your world.
A car filling with water shows that your progress is being dampened by an excess of feeling. This happens when the emotional capacity of your current path is reaching its limit.
A car floating away in water shows you are slipping from the grip of your old ways. This drifting means you are losing your hold on the things that used to guide you.
Being trapped or drowning inside the vehicle means you have no way to guide yourself anymore. These dreams carry the heaviest weight because they describe a state where you cannot act to save your own course.
Wrecking the car in the water breaks your journey with a sudden blow. It is a hard redirection that stops your movement through force rather than through a slow sinking.
A pool makes the dream more about the small, gathered feelings of your daily life. The scale of the interruption is more intimate, focusing on a localized swell of emotion rather than a vast change.
Escaping the car shows you finding the strength to lead yourself again. It shows that even when the path is lost, you can step out and find a new way to stand.
The ocean meets your path with the weight of a journey that is far greater than anything you could plan. When the car meets such vastness, the course of your life is being met by something much larger than your own planning.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a car
I have repeated dreams of a family member (last time it was my father with my mom in the car next to me, before that my grandmother) driving onto a lake of ice, only to fall straight through into the cold water below. It’s always a family member who would never even consider driving on any kind of ice with water underneath. I always run out of breath before I reach the surface, and wake up drenched in sweat and out of breath.
Dear Reader,
Your dream is future, people and person. This dream signals you are worried about what is ahead in your future. You have the gift of convincing people to see things your way. Near you there is a person who expects more than you can give him affectively.
