Car Dream Meaning - What do cars mean in dreams?

Cars in dreams are about your control. Without this control, you won't be able to tap into your full potential --- to make any lasting and real change in your life, and you must change your belief system. Just like the engine in the car, it is time to take the seat and drive that engine. Think of the engine of the car like your brain. It needs a rethink - it's time to move in the right direction.

The parts of the car in your dream represent your beliefs.  What are they? This dream is urging you to think about every action, thought, and feeling you have had over the past few weeks. Are you really doing what you want in life? The dream of a car is about the power to feel good, the power to do what you want and be good. You are in the driving seat. You are good. We don’t always have people telling us this. 

Now, you can't raise your standards without taking control of your engine (the brain) so this is a great dream to have. No matter how the car was presented in the dream it is a positive one. You can go the distance, think of life like a car journey, everything needs to keep moving forward. The dream is about what you are made of. The actual symbols of your dream also mean something powerful and I will expand on these so that you can move through the easy road to lead to your greatest destination.

If you notice the car crashed or there was a problem with it this can signify a lack of control in life and worry. To see multiple cars in dreams is often associated with your relationships or anxiety. When a car is being driven fast or out of control this can reflect your own life - what is in control. The other thing I want to touch on is not giving up easily. We all do. I do. But not anymore. There is one highlight in the car dream meaning, and that is to take control and rationalize all elements of your mind --- I dare you to.

Today is a good day - and it is time for taking control.

What does a car dream mean?

I want to share with you that the car dream is an opportunity so if there is something in your waking life that you wish to control or if there is something that is worrying you - take that control. Generally, these types of dreams occur when you are feeling insecure, or a bit disordered inside I am afraid. A car crash in a dream can indicate a lack of confidence - remember you can do anything you put your mind to. I have often seen this kind of dream happen when one loses something that they care about, a job, relationship, home or money. Everyone though has the opportunity to get ahead in life.

I have many dream books as you can imagine. Cars in ancient dream books are associated with one's reputation in life. If you see yourself or others driving recklessly this is a “warning” dream.

What is the spiritual meaning of a car in a dream?

I’m going to start with the spiritual meaning of “cars” in dreams this is because I want you to gain an overview on a hierarchy level, regardless of the details of the car in your dream. The first thing I will say is that cars are associated with control and empowering your own life. Maybe you had a dream of a beautiful red Ferrari, or a luxury Mercedes or alternatively an old banger! Whatever the car the spiritual meaning still stays the same. It’s time for you to be more vigilant and prepared for the next stage.

The spiritual meaning of cars is also often associated with a strong connection to your emotions. The car represents the direction of our life. When you dream of your car going forward in a dream this can indicate that you are focused on your finances, marriage, growth, and focus on different parts of your life. The car has a range of spiritual symbols in dreams, depending on the details. 

The spiritual meaning of a car can indicate that you are feeling you need more control in a dream. If you have problems with your car in a dream, from a spiritual perspective this can indicate that you feel you are moving in different directions. If you are not in the driving seat from a spiritually perspective this dream can indicate your own spiritual realm. If your GPS is altered in a dream this dream can indicate that you are being guided by spirit. Consequently, the spiritual reason for dreaming of a car can indicate that you are trying to gain control in a situation.

As cars are associated with driving it can often be spiritually a dream connected to moving in the right direction in the waking world. I believe we all gain wisdom based on our own experiences. The car itself can provoke a challenge that you have the mental courage to move forward with confidence. There may be some problems or alternatively tasks that stimulate your mind. The car itself can be a symbolism of the challenges that you face, the good news is that I believe that car dreams basically symbolize that you are heading in the right direction. This is only applicable if, in fact, you are not reversing the car in your dream! Reversing the car in the dream from a spiritual context indicates you are going backward and you should be focusing on the future!

What does it mean to see your own car in a dream?

The fact that you see your own car in a dream is all about your own self-esteem and spirituality. Your own car is connected to your identity. In dream meaning terms your car often represents how you control your life. This dream implies an extension of what is achievable, with more confidence you can achieve anything. Generally, cars are attached to our inner emotions and can indicate spiritual progression on both a psychological and emotional level.

What is the quick meaning of a car in a dream?

Cars can be represented in many different ways during the dream state. For example: buying a car, a car crash, driving a car, having sex in a car, or alternatively losing your car. What I’ve tried to do in this dream interpretation is gather all meanings of the car dream, so I can help you better understand the meaning. Cars are generally a big part of our modern world, many people use cars on a daily basis to drive to work and back, or go to the shops. In dreams, the car itself has been associated with our own control in life. Cars can also be used as our own “identity” in waking life, for example, the car is sometimes used as to how we are perceived by others. If we drive around in a luxurious car we are perceived to be successful in life.

If we drive around in an old car it means that we have struggled to meet the material expectations of society. If you yourself are behind the wheel of a car rather than a passenger it can indicate that you are in fact in control. This is a positive dream! However, to dream that you are driving erratically and you are not in control of the vehicle then this dream is an alert of possible dangers or adjustments in waking life. Cars in dreams often have much different symbolic symbolism, from a psychological point of view the car can be associated with our own state of mind. The way the car looks and feels in a dream is represented by our own personal perception of life. From a spiritual perspective, the bodywork of a car is associated with how we are perceived by others. The steering wheel is connected to how we control our lives. The car brakes are associated with how we can overcome difficulties and finally the engine itself relates to our hidden desires and needs.

The car dream can also indicate that you will be making many visits to others in the future so it suggests “movement.” This may include visits to friends, work meetings or meetings with the family. If you are reversing the car in your dream then this shows that you feel that your life is going backward. It is important to recognize that the only way forward is to focus on yourself and change your own behavior in certain situations.

To dream that your car is crashed or alternatively you drive your car into something (like a wall) generally implies that you have a significant fear of failure in life. Driving in the opposite direction in a car can indicate the need to re-evaluate your life. If you had a dream that a child or a baby was driving the car this can suggest that you are finding it hard to control your feelings in regards to your family.

What does the car symbolize in your dream?

There is something I want to say, there are certain occasions a car can also symbolize a lack of responsibility for actions in the waking world. It is important that you do not feel that you are left behind in any matters with regards to the future. Now, if anything breaks on the car such as your tires, window screen, parts, engine, or glass windows then this can be a symbol of something broken in your life. In fact, to see anything else “broken” in the car can suggest that you really love what you are doing job-wise but you feel that things are broken. You may wish to discover what tasks you need to focus on in the future.

I believe the car in dreams suggests parts of your life that are associated with your “goals” or for example you may see yourself traveling in fast directions. If you do so, it is a great symbol and indicates the need to uncover new opportunities in the area of work. To buy a new car in a dream means you need to improve your own self-esteem. To buy a new car suggests doorways in your future and possibly doorways into new opportunities. Maybe you will get a promotion or move jobs if you are being driven by another.

It might be somewhat frightening, but to see a car crash that includes children in the car means you must drive safely. I always drive extra carefully after having a dream of a car crash as you never know! There is a fantastic time in life if you see a racing car in your dream. To dream of a woman in a car indicates that someone will bring supportive opportunities in life. If you see more than one car in your dream this is also positive. Or you see a fairground ride car (such as a bumper car) suggests your destiny will be clear, in the world of work. You will be attracting greater abundance and lasting success. Ok, so that is a quick summary of various things that may have occurred in your dream, but now I will go into more detail so scroll down to find your dream!

What is the dream psychology around cars in dreams?

The famous dream psychologist Carl Jung believed the car is associated with our own hidden ego. In Jungian psychology, the car dream indicates the layers or masks of our own characteristics. The dream itself is connected to our own personality traits and characteristics. Carl Jung also looked at what passengers signify - he believed that they are a representation of our progress or encouragement. As we all know, cars are associated with many paths, roads, and ultimately opportunities. From a psychological perspective, a dream of cars can indicate our own hidden power or control in life. If you are alone in the car during your dream this can suggest independence or even reliance upon others. If the car loses complete control in your dream then this indicates there is a situation that you have been trying to control with little success. How can you gain better control?

What does it mean to drive a car in a dream?

Simply driving a car in a dream indicates how you plan on moving forward. The meaning of this dream is that you need to focus on your own path in life. As all cars are connected to the movement, driving in a dream is just that! Driving forward. I can remember one of my dreams. I was driving my car in a dream once and suddenly I was driving too fast. I was not in control of the vehicle. This type of dream indicates events in the waking world are happening too fast. To dream of driving along a road indicates that you are focused at work and heading in the right direction in life. If you are driving on a bumpy road in a dream this suggests that you are encountering sexual frustrations. If you are driving fast and you cannot control things in your dream or to be whizzing through the road is a common dream. This type of dream can indicate the feeling that you cannot go back on past mistakes in life!

What was your position in the car during the dream?

Are you sitting in the passenger seat? If so, this means you feel out of control. To sit in the back seat in a car indicates that you will let people take a lead in life. To be in the driving seat implies that you are in control so well done. Now, the actual position that “you” are sitting in the car during your dream is important. As we have already defined the car itself indicates our “own personal control in life.” It can also suggest that we are going in a certain direction, and according to Carl Jung, this dream is connected to our own social status and self-image.

The biblical meaning of cars in the dream is focused on how we run the course of our life. The car biblically can be associated with the define, the lights could be seen as spiritual lights.

Spiritually it could mean driving places and opening up your creativity. The color of the vehicle is also important as the car becomes the extension of the divine self. The holy ghost can transport itself to you. In the New Testament in Acts 8:39 an event was recorded where the holy spirit transported when the spirit of the Lord caught away Philip.  In Psalm 126 it states “Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.” therefore, if you have been having conflict the car dream biblically can indicate that joy will be yours.

Cars often appear spiritually in our dreams when we are looking to control aspects of our life. The biblical meaning of driving cars in dreams is associated with your spiritual direction in life. Moving forward in a dream can be connected to your focus in life, business relationships, unions, and partnerships or your growth spiritually. Obviously, in the bible, there is no mention of the car in those times. There have been reports that cars were in fact around in biblical times and considered modes of transport.

Peter 2:17 reads "driven by a storm for whom the black darkness has been reserved" the black darkness has been discussed as being associated with transport, and that in life we all have storms and try to overcome our problems. Miracles happen every day but also tragedies, the number one killer is automobile crashes, there is a connection between the biblical meaning of this dream and struggles in daily life. Resilience, emotional intelligence, and direction in life are infused into the biblical meaning of driving a car in a dream. Sometimes when we have been through a difficult period of time we find it hard to bounce back from difficult times and even though we become stronger, the last part of a war with someone we feel weak, we feel that we cannot go on and want to give up.

A car that is moving in different directions can indicate that you need to develop your relationships, manage your emotions and improve the quality of your own emotional skills. There are many ways this dream about driving forward is associated with increasing your awareness.

Self-awareness: The biblical meaning of a dream where you see yourself driving forward is about the ability to focus on emotions and put yourself in motion too strongly. This dream is about your strengths moving forward and limitations on how emotions impact yourself and others. It can signal that you want to move quickly in a situation in waking life but you are being limited somehow. The dream could also indicate that you need to focus on moving forward calmly in the face of aversion. We all have difficult situations in life that challenge us, without such challenges it is hard for us to understand what we need to do moving forward. Dreaming of driving a car biblically can indicate that we need to be aware of said challenges. If we review Ephesians 6:12 ESV / 91 it states “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” 

Control: The biblical meaning of driving forward in a dream can indicate that you need to limit making rushed decisions. It can imply that you are taking responsibility for your actions when someone annoys you. There is also a component that will allow you to look at all the possibilities in life. This dream is about how you control your own possible goals, internal motivations, and your curiosity and energy going forward. 

What is the biblical meaning of driving backwards / reversing in a dream?

If you have been experiencing problems and driving backward this is about making choices and these could make you feel a sense of dread then it is not uncommon to dream of driving backward when a choice needs to be made. This dream indicates the need to understand that you need to balance solitude and also togetherness with your own spiritual life. Dreaming backward can indicate a problem with a situation where things seem to take a turn for the worse. 

In 2 Kings 20:9 the bible verse says “This shall be the sign to you from the Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps or go back ten steps?” It is about understanding your shadows when you dream of reversing in a car. This dream is normal when we are going through difficulties in life. You need to remain strong in the face of such difficulties.

How was the journey in the dream?

The other aspect of this dream is to think about the journey itself. Was the car going fast? Was it bumpy? Are you accelerating? Did you see any obstacles or challenges in the way? If the journey was quite smooth it can indicate that the path you are on is the correct one. If there are any obstacles in your way, such as traffic lights or diversions this can signify difficulties.

To drive your own car in a dream signifies a mission will be accomplished. I believe that it is now the time to enjoy yourself and indulging your successes. On a positive note, you are going in the right direction and in the right way to see yourself behind the wheel of your own vehicle. This dream indicates that you are rather self-reliant and hold a good sense of independence.

I feel this dream often occurs when you are overworked or you are in a relationship whereby you are not focused on the challenges in life. The car battery can be featured in many different ways in a dream, and ultimately this dream is about questions or problems or tasks that stimulate your mind. If you have a recurring dream where your car battery dies, or you try to restart your car battery it can indicate that you are feeling drained in life. My advice is to think about your own situation at work. This dream often occurs “spiritually” when you are basically not holding charge of the situation, the car battery in a dream can also signify that you need to slow down and think about other people.

Now, if the car will not start in the dream then this can suggest a fundamental change in life. In dreams that people have sent to me regarding the car battery, I always reply to the fact there is a danger that you are going to burn yourself out in the near future. The car battery can also extend to our social arrangements at work. Try not to deceive others and be honest if you do not want to attend a social engagement. The battery is connected to how we're feeling inside, overworked and underpaid are keywords that come to my mind when interpreting dreams that are connected to car batteries. So don’t overdo it!

His beliefs might be somewhat outdated because in the modern world we are so much more focused on our cars, yes... don’t you just love your car! Freud did believe that a car featured in a dream can indicate some maneuvers of our unconscious mind. He also believed that our dreams are usually associated with events that happen in our daily life, for example, it could be that you have seen a car accident on the television thus, this has ultimately resulted in your dream.

Red is very much focused on the color of action, therefore spiritually this dream means a lot of things can happen in the near future. In terms of luxury cars, especially the 1980s red Ferraris or other branded sports cars were quite popular. To see a luxury red car in your dream indicates that you will do the very best things for others. It can also mean that you are feeling challenged and possibly lack control in material affairs. A luxury car (no matter what color) represents that you have many options to make money. This is just my personal opinion after reading many different dream dictionary books.

To see your car advertised in the newspaper or to sell your car on the internet in the dream state indicates that you do not wish to take control of a work situation. Additionally, it can mean that you want to step back. My advice is to take time out - recuperate and think about what you actually want from your life. If you notice or encounter a car salesman in the dream this can suggest that someone is going to try to sell you an idea! Try to take some time for yourself to find out if you really want what you will be offered in life.

What does it mean to see a white car in a dream?

A white car in your dream is connected to our innocence in life. White is also a sign of success from a spiritual sense. As we have already outlined in the opening of this dream meaning, the car itself is associated with the control that we have in life. White cars have become somewhat popular in life, this is due to the fact that they have been mass-produced and that it's more expensive to color the car in an alternative shade. In fact, I’ve just looked along my street most of the cars happen to be white.

White cars are definitely popular where I live. In fact, it has become the most popular color for cars. Now, it's important for us to reflect on the actual dream meaning of the white car, it symbolizing how we move forward in life and our control. The white car therefore in dreams, can indicate your innocence, peace and vision are being challenged at the moment. There is not much detail on the dream interpretation of white cars in most dream dictionary books.

For me to identify the significant dream meaning we have to look at the color white from a spiritual perspective. So what does white mean? White in spiritual terms indicates that we will learn the truth in life. If we look at the biblical meaning of white, this color is connected to the truth of faith. Putting on white garments is also popular in religion. It indicates a sense of innocence and also a connection to heaven.

There has been much research in the fact that cars also indicate our own bodies, therefore as white is a very spiritual color it can signify our own self-control. If you have reoccurring dreams of a white car, perhaps you see a white car in an accident there is a niggling doubt in my mind that it might be best not to buy a white car! I know that dreams are not connected to events that happen in reality but when a dream appears multiple times you have to really take notice!

What does it mean to have sex in a car during the dream state?

I must admit when I was a teenager we did have sex in cars, this was partially due to the fact that we couldn’t have sex in the house, so the car seemed the better option. That was over 20 years ago now! Yikes! Having sex in a car in real life can be somewhat fun no matter what age you are. This led me some time ago to understand what is the meaning when you have this type of sex dream? The details are equally important, so try to think about the position that you were in during the dream state - were you happy? What I mean is that was having sex in the car essentially a happy and loving dream?

If so, this is a positive dream. So, if you could see backseat action during the dream it indicates that you are in a happy and content in a relationship. If you are single and you dream of having sex in a car this can often be connected to your sexual frustration in life! Freud always believed that our dreams are related to sexual frustration.

Many different dream psychologists actually associate driving a car in a dream with our own need for sex in real life.

What does it mean to see an automatic car in a dream?

Generally, most cars are automatic. So what does it mean to see an automatic car in the dream? Cars are often quite a common dream to have.

It can indicate any problems that are out of control and are often solved in the most appropriate manner.

Perhaps your life is somewhat bubbling along and you are unable to grasp or control situations.

What does it mean to see a traffic light in a dream?

Traffic lights seen in dreams are rather interesting. In my dream analysis, I found the traffic lights symbolize that you are holding back. The three colors of the traffic light consist of: red, amber, and green. In the USA a traffic light is generally yellow in color, in England they are black. We all know that the green light allows us to proceed in life. It is no different in the dream state. Thus, to see a green traffic light indicates that you are going to have a number of wonderful opportunities opening up for you. If you stop at the red light in a dream, then spiritually this can suggest that there will be some minor delays that you will encounter in life. To see a flashing amber light indicates that you need to get ready for new changes on the horizon.

To see a sign that says walk or don’t walk in the dream is connected to a delay in life. To encounter a pedestrian crossing in a dream can suggest the need to have more control in life. To run a red light or if you speed past a traffic light in a dream this indicates you may have low energy at the moment. If the traffic lights are LED (commonly seen in Australia) this dream can imply that you will encounter some risk in life.

Many people experience the dream of the car wash and normally from this can learn the obstacles in their current life. It may be a complete nightmare and the car wash results in negative consequences. It is completely natural to be scared if the car wash was negatively featured in your dream.
