What does car mean in a dream?
Car (automobile) is a semantic symbol connected with functional action and independence. Unlike a train or bus (where the person is a passenger), a car is driven by the person themselves, so it is associated with personal control and pleasure from action. The natural principle connects this image with the body or immediate surroundings, showing its attitude toward the conscious Self's behavior. Different car models indicate different behavior models: a sports car means an ambitious style, an old car means outdated patterns. A crucial point: if the person is not driving themselves, this indicates dominance of someone else's influence. Car damage always means harm to the personality.
