The Theft of a Car

In a dream, the theft of a car signifies that the dreamer will be instrumental in bringing about auspicious deeds. The person who is instrumental in good works and performs acts of kindness shall soon receive the recompense for the goodness he has done. This person may change the house, neighbourhood, or city in which he lives. Likewise, such a change may occur in his working life.

The dreamer may be transferred to another branch of the company in which he works. If his education is continuing, he may change schools or gain admission to a new school of his choosing. This change will certainly be for the better. That is to say, the dreamer will surely move to a place possessing far better conditions than his former position, or begin a new occupation.

To see a car being stolen in a dream signifies that a person will do good to others, render assistance, and take certain people under his protection. For this reason, he will perform deeds that are also accepted by Allah. He will become a person loved, known, and sought after by those around him. After this dream, the life of the one who sees it may change entirely. Any work he undertakes may cause these changes and transformations to come about. The person will rise to a position far better than his former one and attain peace. The things of which he dreams may come to pass all at once.

According to some interpreters, this dream also signifies that the dreamer will lose a close relative whom he loves dearly. It is interpreted as the arrival of bad news from afar. The form and colour of the stolen car also have considerable effect upon the interpretation of the dream. If the vehicle is a small car, the troubles to be experienced or the joys to be attained will reach the dreamer within a short time. If the car is large—such as a minibus, bus, and the like—the happiness the person will experience shall be lasting and prolonged. If it is light in colour, it is auspicious; if dark in colour, it may bring about evil results.

To be struck by a car in a dream signifies that the dreamer is passing through difficult times. The foremost cause of these difficult times is a harm inflicted upon the person from without. This harm, which may come from a relative of the dreamer or from a stranger, has driven the person into a difficult state and disturbed his peace. The person shall overcome these difficult days and, through his own efforts, make important advances in his working life.

He may achieve important successes at school and rise to very high levels in his professional life. Through his own efforts, he shall attain significant accomplishments. By virtue of his diligence and talent, the dreamer shall live under very good conditions and in peace for the remainder of his life. After overcoming the difficult periods through which he has passed, he must pay far greater heed to the people around him.

To see in a dream that one has been struck by a car means that the dreamer has solved and overcome a problem which has greatly troubled him in recent times. According to many interpreters of dreams, this dream signifies that the person has surmounted difficulties in his family life, working life, and financial affairs, and has attained relief. Henceforth, the person shall not suffer problems in these same matters and shall lead a good life.

According to certain interpreters of dreams, however, this dream signifies that the one who sees it has been passing through exceedingly intense periods in his working or school life, has found no time even to scratch his head, and has been unable to spare time for himself. Amid this weariness, there are matters troubling and confusing the dreamer’s mind. These matters cause the person to be absent-minded, forgetful, and inattentive in waking life.

To lose a car in a dream signifies that the dreamer is not content with the accomplishments he has gained or with life itself. The person is dissatisfied with the possessions he acquired in his former life, whether through hard work or by unlawful means. He yearns for his former life. He is passing through a period in which he feels remorse for the mistakes he has made. This dream means that the person does not know the worth of what he possesses, cannot safeguard what is in his hands, and, in truth, does not deserve it.

There are things and people for whom the dreamer longs. This dream signifies that the person has recently failed to fulfil the responsibilities he ought to fulfil and has not kept the promise he gave. He may suffer financial difficulties. The person may lose a considerable sum of money. Material wealth carries an important meaning here. A great loss may be suffered. Although this loss need not necessarily be money, it bears a material nature.

If the one who sees the dream is married, he may experience certain problems in his marriage. Unpleasant circumstances may arise between him and his children. If the dreamer is unmarried, a relationship of long standing may come to an end, and difficulties may be experienced. The characteristic qualities of a person who loses a car in a dream are generally described as being unaware of his responsibilities, procrastinating, inattentive, and careless.

To have one’s car stolen in a dream signifies that misfortune will befall someone whom the dreamer loves dearly. This person may also be the dreamer himself, but it is generally interpreted as referring to the person nearest to him. That person may contract a serious illness, become unemployed and penniless, or suffer harm at the hands of others. This dream also indicates that an object valued by the one who sees it will suffer damage.

The psychological interpretation of having one’s car stolen in a dream is that it reflects the dreamer’s anxiety about losing a car he has acquired recently. Although the object in question may be a car, it may likewise be a newly purchased house or another valuable possession. The anxiety experienced by the dreamer manifests itself in his dreams. It is interpreted as the loss of any possession acquired through difficulties and exertion. These losses may be material, or they may bear spiritual value. The dreamer’s relationship, marriage, or friendship may suffer harm or come to an end. The values in which he believes may mislead him. He may experience disappointments.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

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.
