What does it mean when you dream of your best friend dying in a car accident?

Answer 1

Dreams communicate through symbols that relate to the dreamer. In this dream, the friend probably represents the dreamer. The car crash suggests that there is trouble ahead if things continue on their present course.

Answer 2

There is no cause for worry; this dream is not predicting any future tragedy. Instead, both the accident and your best friend are used as symbols in your dream, representing yourself and something about your current situation. You may feel as if circumstances are out of control in your life. Having no control over the things that are happening around you is frightening, as if you are heading for a crash. But note that the dream is illustrating your emotions, not the reality of your situation. You may be approaching a significant change in your life. This might bring something to an end - the school year? a job? a relationship? But it will also mark the start of a new beginning.

Answer 3

You need have no concern about this dream predicting any future event, as prescient dreams are extremely rare. Unless this person is prone to risky behavior, like drunken driving or extreme sports, it is far more likely that the dream merely illustrates your anxiety for your loved one's well-being.

> On the symbolic level, the car represents "getting somewhere," or "moving ahead" in the sense of pursuing goals or moving through life. So while the dream might be about car accidents in one sense, in a deeper sense it is about potential unexpected problems for this loved one and/or yourself. Of course, potential unexpected problems are normal events in every life; it is only your anxiety about those problems that you can change.
