Having One’s Car Stolen

In a dream, having one’s car stolen indicates that the dreamer will experience certain problems in family life or business life. These problems will generally be personal in nature. These non-economic troubles will drive a wedge between the person and his family. The person may, in due time, fall into a difference of opinion and have an argument with someone he once loved dearly. The problems that may arise within the family may be related to a forthcoming marriage.

If the dreamer is unmarried, he will present his prospective spouse to his family, yet will not encounter the reactions he expects. This and similar circumstances will lead to tensions and separations within the family. A step toward marriage may be taken, but this step may not culminate in marriage. An engagement or betrothal may be broken off. A marriage that is already proceeding problematically may come to an end.

If the person whose car was stolen in the dream finds his car again, the troubles that will arise among the family will be short-lived. If the dreamer awakens without finding the car that was stolen from him, these troubles may last a long, even a very long, time. They may take months or years. This dream indicates that the person has a goal, that he works and perseveres until he attains this goal and purpose, yet will lose what he has gained before he can savor it. Viewed from this perspective, it may also indicate the result of an examination or interview that one came very close to passing but which did not prove sufficient.

Having one’s car stolen in a dream likewise points to contradictory conditions present in the spirit and mind of the person affected by the dream. The person is exceedingly indecisive during this period. If unmarried, matters such as relationships, love, marriage, and the opposite sex may occupy his mind during this time. These matters trouble the dreamer’s mind excessively and cause him to experience forgetfulness and inattention in waking life and to commit ordinary mistakes and blunders. According to some dream interpreters, this dream signifies that the dreamer will lose a beloved close one. It is an indication of a trouble or calamity that will befall him.

If the car stolen in the dream is large, a trouble whose effects will continue for a long time will be experienced. If the car is small, these troubles will be of relatively shorter duration. The car’s being black or light-colored is also directly related to the degree of the trouble. If the car is black, the troubles experienced will be far more difficult. If the car is white, a matter that you think will harm you may benefit you. It may become a means of auspiciousness.

Seeing a car accident in a dream bears different meanings according to the manner of the accident. If blood is seen as a result of the accident in the dream, this indicates that auspicious events may occur for the dreamer. The dreamer may change the house, neighborhood, province, or even country in which he lives. He may move to a different place possessing better conditions than before. This move may concern domestic life, or it may be interpreted as changing jobs. The person may move to another region in parallel with his own work. Or he may begin a better job in a direct progression. He may receive a promotion. He may make a great breakthrough in commerce.

If blood was seen as a result of a car accident in the dream, this indicates evil events. The dreamer is experiencing regrets within his own world. There may be circumstances that trouble his mind and about which he cannot make up his mind. He will enter a financially troubled period. If the damage from the accident is great and blood is seen, the duration of this financial difficulty may be prolonged, and the severity of the trouble and hardships may increase to the same degree. The dreamer may experience troubles in his love life. His intimate relationships will become quite weak during this period. He may be placed in the background by his friends and by the person he loves. If the dreamer is married, discord may arise in his home. This troubled period will not last long. However, if the dreamer does not act constructively, he may not emerge from this process unscathed.

If the vehicle involved in the accident in the dream is a large vehicle—a truck, lorry, bus, minibus, or the like—the trouble to be experienced will be much more difficult. If it is a small vehicle, this will be a troubled period that can be overcome with ease. The car’s being dark-colored denotes evil meanings, whereas its being light-colored denotes good meanings.

Seeing oneself have an accident with a car in a dream means that one is experiencing a problem with time in waking life. The dreamer is falling behind in many matters, arriving late, and being deprived of many things because of the demands of work and school. In waking life, the person continually complains that there is not enough time, that he has too much to do, and that he cannot keep up with anything. Going everywhere running and moving quickly has become a condition this person dislikes.

Experiencing an accident in a dream indicates that the person wishes to take a holiday and rest for a while. It is a period in which the person who has the accident is passing through difficult times and suffering financial hardship. The person may be spending the money he earns on matters that are not auspicious.

If, as a result of the accident in the dream, the dreamer or someone accompanying him is injured or dies, this dream indicates negligence, error, sin, or loss. The person may have neglected an important responsibility he was required to fulfill, committed an error, or sinned. If the person is not injured but someone beside him dies, a bad situation may arise between the dreamer and this person, and an argument may occur. If no one is injured in the dream, the person may turn back at the last moment from an error in waking life. He may escape an accident cheaply. He may desist from committing an evil.

What does making an accident with a car in a dream mean? This dream generally indicates weariness and exhaustion. If the vehicle in which the accident occurs is a small vehicle, the trouble or auspicious circumstance to be experienced will likewise be on a smaller scale. If the vehicle and the scale of the accident are great, and if the accident affects others as well, the effect of the events to be experienced will likewise be great to the same extent.

The psychological interpretation of having one’s car stolen in a dream is generally of one kind. For those who have recently become owners of a new car, this dream is a reflection of the anxiety they are experiencing. Cars generally acquired after long efforts and labors being left in the middle of the street causes the car owner unease. Incidents of theft worry him and cause his thoughts to remain constantly with his car. It indicates that goods and property acquired through hardship are precious and that one fears losing them.

It provides early awareness; the person sees risks before they grow and can choose a more solid path.

Neglect, haste, untrustworthy people or uncontrolled behavior can increase the difficulty.

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