Being Struck by a Car

In a dream, being struck by a car is an indication that there is a rupture between the dreamer and the surroundings in which he lives. The person may feel alienated from his family, friends, work, or the school he attends.

This dream is a sign that the person has grown weary of his present circumstances. If his disposition is suited to it, he may soon change his house, work, or spouse. If he is unmarried, he will enter a period in which he experiences problems concerning his relationship. He will begin to question the love and affection he feels. Such questioning will create fluctuations in his love life and wear down the relationship.

Seeing oneself struck by a car in a dream may mean that the person will change his work because of his colleagues in the workplace or because his present position seems insufficient to him. This change may be an upward change, meaning that he may obtain better working conditions, or it may be merely a change of place in the same direction. However, since dream interpretations regard seeing a car in a dream as wealth, property, and possessions, this dream signifies that the person will attain better living conditions and become wealthy, and therefore will change his work and, naturally, his home as well.

According to some interpreters of dreams, being struck by a car in a dream means that some form of good fortune will find the dreamer at a moment when he least expects it.

This unexpected good fortune may be a virtuous spouse, a new baby, or a good job. The course of the dream directly affects its interpretation. Therefore, the details are of importance. For example, if an injury or death occurs as a result of being struck by the car, it is believed that the person will be censured by those around him, will not be loved, and will be reproached. The dreamer will experience great difficulties in his relations with others. His relations with his family will deteriorate. He may enter a financially troubled period.

If the dreamer himself, or another person who is beside him, is injured and dies, then if the person accompanying the dreamer is harmed, business will be undertaken together with that person in waking life. This does not mean merely a financial partnership; it means joining minds and deliberating together on any matter. If no one is injured or killed as a result of the collision, the dream brings auspicious results. It means avoiding, turning away from, and escaping a wrong path or evil deeds. In general, this dream indicates that important changes will occur in the dreamer’s life, that he will change his place of residence, and that he is in a period during which he must pay attention to his conduct.

Seeing oneself strike somewhere with a car in a dream means that a task of which the dreamer has dreamed will not come to pass. The “task” mentioned here applies not only to expectations in working life, but also to the fields of education and marriage.

Striking something in a dream is an indication that the person has exerted himself greatly and expended effort, yet has made an important mistake on the path along which he has been proceeding. Unlawful matters may have become mixed into the works to which the person has applied himself. There may be people who have been harmed, even indirectly, by what was done. This dream also indicates that the dreamer will not receive approval for a work he has undertaken, but will be rejected and not accepted. This situation is generally understood in terms of marriage. If the dreamer is unmarried, he has recently introduced, or will soon introduce, the person whom he is considering marrying to his family.

According to the interpretation of the dream, the answer and reactions he will receive from his family will not be the reactions the dreamer wishes to hear and see. For this reason, adverse circumstances may arise within the family. Arguments and quarrels may occur. The dreamer will be the principal figure in these disputes.

According to some interpreters, this dream indicates that the dreamer may earn a certain amount of money in the near future. This gain will be sufficient to relieve the person for a while. If he has debts, it will enable him to pay them off.

Escaping being struck by a car in a dream is an indication of the danger that the dreamer may make improper use of the money that comes into his hands in waking life. It is more commonly interpreted as meaning that the dreamer is at the stage of making a decision.

From the perspective of working life, the person may be making plans during this period to establish a new business or form a partnership. From a financial perspective, he may be in the process of purchasing new land, a house, or a car.

From an emotional perspective, the person is considering marriage and is taking steps along this path. A new relationship, or a step beyond the present stage of an existing relationship, may be under consideration. The question occupying his mind may be the date of the engagement or wedding ceremony. Any problem that arises between him and his family may spoil the dreamer’s spirits. The person will consult many people in order to make proper use of the money that comes into his hands. In the end, he will make the choice that best protects his interests.

Being struck by a car oneself in a dream is an indication that the dreamer has too many questions, problems, troubles, and thoughts in his mind. The tensions experienced in working life will also be reflected in the person’s entire social life. The dreamer, whose spirits are low and who is distressed for some reason, will reflect this condition in every sphere and will be unable to free himself from its effects for a long time. The most important cause of this tension is jealousy. In working life, school life, or even marriage, the person has sensed the danger that another may seize something he possesses or wishes to possess himself. This may be likened to an ambitious rival who appears before him just as he is about to receive a promotion. While he was the brightest person in the group, someone more intelligent and successful may join it. What is meant by jealousy is an impediment to attaining success and happiness.

Contrary to what is commonly thought, a dream in which a car strikes one’s child does not carry evil meanings. Disagreements and separations within the family may be put on the path toward resolution. It indicates that important, long-standing problems within the family will soften to some extent during this period. Significant changes may occur in the family and the home. The dreamer may move to a different house. If it is a large family, the family will grow even larger. The change experienced may be a wedding. A new member may join the household. If there is an unmarried person in the family, he or she will soon meet a new suitor or advance the existing relationship one step further. The family may be considering migrating to a different region. The children will not support the migration to another place undertaken because of the father of the family’s work.

A car having an accident in a dream is an indication that important changes will occur in the dreamer’s life. Good news may come to the dreamer from far away. This news will be connected with money. A considerable sum of money may come into the dreamer’s hands. However, this will be an income without a lasting source, or, stated more plainly, a gain that is not continuous.

The person who sees the dream will change his place of residence, his work, or his school. Becoming weary of the present situation, regarding it as unlucky, and not being loved constitute the most important reasons for these changes. If the person is inside the vehicle whose owner causes the accident, the most important cause of the troubles he is experiencing originates from himself.

With the right perspective, it can signify restoring balance, recovery, and developing a new understanding.

Uncertainty, indecision, or a tendency to take on excessive burden may be observed.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, emotional life, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
