Have you ever had a dream that felt so real, and now you’re wondering what it could mean? Maybe you had a dream about a car sinking in the water or that you were trapped inside the car and couldn’t get out of the seat belts.
Whatever the scenario of your dream was, this is the meaning and symbolism of a car sinking in water in a dream that you should know.
The Symbolism of the dream
In order to achieve the most accurate interpretation possible, it is important to focus on the dream symbols. As for this particular dream, it’s a car and water.
The car in a dream represents your life force, your drive, the way you see yourself, and the journey through life. It is the means of transport that gives you the ability to move forward and go after what you want.
Water, as a dream symbol, is generally associated with emotions, feelings, instincts, and the subconscious mind. It can represent the subconscious and our deepest emotions. It can also represent the life force and our connection to the spiritual realm.
Dream about a car sinking in the water
Now that you know the meaning and symbolism of the two most important dream symbols (water and car), you will have a better understanding of your dream.
Feeling overwhelmed
When you dream about a car sinking in the water, it may be a sign that you are feeling overwhelmed and weighed down by your responsibilities in real life. The water may represent your emotions, and the car could be your physical body. Simply put, the car (your physical body) is ‘sinking’ in thoughts or emotions (water.)
Perhaps you are facing some life difficulties and feel that negative thoughts and emotions are having a negative impact on your physical body and well-being. It is as if your thoughts or emotions have control over your physical body.
According to an old dream book that I inherited from my grandmother, a dream about a car sinking in water means that you’re “sinking” or “drowning” in worries or negative thoughts as if they were “eating you alive.”
Unbalanced thinking
This type of dream also indicates unbalanced thoughts or poor life choices. By sinking in a body of water, the car may symbolize the dissolution of material possessions and earthly comforts. It may signify that you must think about what is really important for you and your well-being.
Instead of fixating on material possessions and worldly comforts, you need to focus on things that matter. When you focus on material things that will not last forever, you lose sight of what should be most precious to you; your time, family, love, or doing things you love.
If you are aware that negative or toxic thoughts are spiraling in your mind or that you are not in a good emotional state, try to find some way to change this. This dream is such a warning signal which should not be underestimated.
Other dream scenarios
If you were driving along the road and drove from a cliff into the deep water and the car started to sink, it could be a sign that you are going in the wrong direction and need to make changes. If it is a recurring dream, it can signify that you must look at your current situation and take action to avoid disaster.
If the car fell is sinking in muddy water, it could indicate that someone is trying to make your life miserable, for example, by spreading falsehoods about you that could damage your reputation or get you into difficult situations.
Seeing your car sinking in a strong current means the situation you are going through will escalate, or some rapid change will come that you did not expect.
Summary
The dream about a car sinking in water is a warning signal that something is not right or out of balance. It is probably some sort of imbalance between your thoughts and emotions and your physical body. Although not everyone is aware of it, our thoughts and emotions have an incredible effect on our bodies and health. They can both heal and hurt or cause different types of diseases.
