Car
The self in motion through life; who is driving?
ModernJungian
The car is the modern dream’s primary image of the self in motion. Jungian analysis reads car-dreams with attention to who drives: yourself (ego in charge), a stranger (an aspect of the unconscious directing), no one (a runaway process). A car without brakes is one of the most common anxiety dreams and often marks a waking life where decisions feel unstoppable. Notice who else is in the car, and whether you can steer.
