14 Dreams About Car Accident: Common Car Accident Dream Scenarios

Dreaming that you are in a car accident is a common dream especially for people who spend a lot of time on the road driving or traveling by car. The dream, in this case, can look so vivid and the fear you feel is never pleasant.

In real life, you want to avoid car accidents and crashes because they are not only stressful to the point of shock but they are also life-threatening.

Being afraid for your life when anything threatens it is a natural reaction and if you have ever experienced a car accident crashed then you really understand what being afraid to lose your life really is.

Dreams often lead us to both unknown and familiar territories, letting us experience something for the first time or experience it again.

Even if you have never been involved in a car accident, it is not difficult to imagine how the experience would be.  But why would you dream of a car accident?

Reasons Why You Have Dreams About Car Accident

A few reasons why you might have dreams about a car accident are as follows:

#1 A Warning About Future Travels

Since the car is a symbol of travel the dream could be a warning about a future travel plan you might have. If you are planning a big trip or currently preparing to go on one, you could consider such a dream as a warning.  It could be a warning about a likely accident that might happen during your trip

The dream doesn’t necessarily have to be linked to an actual car accident happening, it could be a warning about related problems such as a late bus, a flight delay, lack of taxis, full hotel bookings and so on.

Such a dream might not always be direct, examine all the aspects of your trip and try to figure out what the accident might be and then take measures to avoid it

#2 Stressed About The Trip

You might also experience these dreams about car accident because you are simply stressed and worried about your trip.

If this is the case, focusing on the great and positive things about your trip would help get you a little relaxed and less worried.

Think about the fun things you are going to do on that trip, all the amazing places you will be visiting and the great memories that you are going to have after that trip. Thinking a lot of the positive aspects of the trip will no doubt keep the worrisome dreams away.

#3 A Real Fear Of Being In A Car Accident

Car accident dreams might also stem from a real fear of getting involved in a car accident. You could be that extra careful driver to the point of panic at the first sign that an accident is going to occur.

This could develop into an obsession of being careful while driving or panicking when being driven. Such an obsession is, of course, stemming from the fear of being involved in an accident. Since you are thinking a lot about it when driving every day, the dreams will, therefore, become recurring.

#4 Someone close to you Was in A Car Accident

If someone close to you was recently in an accident, you could have this dream as a result of the mental turmoil you have gone through because your loved one has suffered a car accident.

In your dream, you would see images of you being in the accident.  In such a case consider seeking counseling to overcome the pain.

#5 Fear Of Making A Mistake

This dream could also be a result of you being afraid of making a mistake, either at work or at home or in your social life.

If you are always wanting to do things right by everybody that matters in your life, and don’t want to be the cause of someone getting hurt, then don’t be surprised if you have a dream of a car accident and in that dream, you are the one who has caused the accident.

The best thing you could do if this dream is recurring, consider relaxing a little and just be yourself.

Remember humans are meant to err and you will at some point, but don’t be obsessed with avoiding that day when you will make a mistake

#6 Conscience Is Bothering You About Something

If you did something in the past and you still feel guilty about it, it could be triggering this car accident dreams which involve you causing the car accidents. If it is something that you cannot change, it would be better if you let it go.
