Crash Crashed Crashing

Depending upon how badly you are hurt in the crash, it shows the ending of something. This might be a direction you were taking, a business venture or a relationship – depending on who is with you in the car and what else is in the dream.

Often a crash involves another or other people. If this is in your dream it shows a difficult relationship with another person, one that might damage your own sense of well-being or confidence. It can mean a difficulty in a sexual relationship too if the person is of the opposite sex. But even if not that, certainly it is about a confrontation or conflict in regard to decisions, directions or opinions.

The car crash can sometimes show a self desired failure – perhaps to avoid stress of responsibility and change. The crash also suggests fear of failure or loss of control. This might be failure in relationship or an argument – you may be on collision course with boss or partner for instance. See: wrecked car; fear in connection with car.

Occasionally it points to psychological or physical breakdown looming. If the vehicle crash has a sense of death in it, then the dream may be exploring the anxieties or feelings around death. This is not usually a prediction of death, but a meeting with whatever values and fears one has about it. It may however be warning you about activities having a negative effect on your life or health. If you feel it is a warning see help; Dreaming of Death

If you die in the crash, what you feel and learn is very important. This is because it can depict a radical change in your life, or an experience of meeting death.
