An interpretation of crash dreams

An interpretation of crash dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Knowing that dreams create physical representations of personal situations gives you an initial way of approaching the interpretation of a crash. For example, it can symbolize lives colliding, or something in your life coming to a sudden halt or bad ending. Hopes crash. Plans crash. Stocks crash. Projects crash. Health crashes. It’s a versatile metaphor. It can indicate a sudden crisis or drop in energy or enthusiasm. You reach your limit. Your body and mind shut down quickly. You “crash.” Crashes are associated with taking risks and being reckless. Do you cause the crash, or witness it? That detail can make a big difference to the meaning. Causing a crash means you are the likely source of whatever the crash symbolizes. Witnessing a crash can mean you’ve observed something that didn’t directly involve you. For example, you hear that a neighbor is arrested for a serious crime, and dream about a car crash in that part of the neighborhood. Look at details of the crash for clues to its meaning. A solo crash with no passengers can symbolize a setback that affects only one person. Colliding with another car can symbolize two lives colliding. Or, if the cars are full of passengers, it can symbolize two groups colliding. A pileup can symbolize a messed-up group situation, or an obstacle to your progress. A plane crash can mean that a hope or ambition is lost, or that health takes a sudden dive. A motorcycle crash can symbolize exposure to harm, or inadequate protection. See: Groups, Passengers When interpreting a crash, begin with the symbolism of the vehicle and cross-reference it with the symbolism of a crash. Watch out for crash dreams that recur. It’s a sign of something habitually going wrong in your life, or a warning of what could happen. Consider your personal associations. Being in a car crash can create powerful personal associations, and you’ll recognize them in the dream-story and your feelings about it. In which case, the meaning can be found by cross-referencing the dream with the incident. For example, you were in a major accident while in a car with someone driving recklessly, and now, years later, your spouse’s driving makes you nervous. Your dreams could connect the two by reliving the accident, so you see the source of your nervousness. Reliving trauma is a way of processing it, and you are bound to dream about such an event soon after it happens. For more ideas about how to deal with this sort of dream, see: Nightmare.
