Car crash

A sudden loss of control

What it often means

A crash in a dream is the moment control gives way — often in the part of life the car was carrying you through. It can warn of a collision you sense coming, or release the tension of a direction taken too fast. Who was driving matters as much as the impact.

When it tends to appear

  • When you sense a collision course in some area of life
  • When you have been moving too fast to steer
  • After a loss of control you have not fully felt

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Who was driving — you, or someone else?

  2. 2

    What in your life is heading for an impact you can already feel coming?

  3. 3

    Where have you mistaken speed for progress?
