I'm driving in a car. I need to stop but my legs can't seem to find the brakes. My car is now out of control and I'm heading to an obstruction, when I wake up.
Dreams about driving often symbolize control over your life or direction in which you're heading. In your dream, the inability to find the brakes might suggest feelings of helplessness or a lack of control in your waking life. You may be facing a situation that feels overwhelming or where you're struggling to stop and evaluate your choices.
The sense of an impending crash into an obstruction can indicate that you're approaching a significant issue or challenge that you haven’t addressed, leading to feelings of anxiety or fear of the consequences. This might relate to a decision you're facing, an emotion you've been avoiding, or a situation that feels out of your hands.
Waking up just before the crash suggests that you have an opportunity to confront these feelings or situations before they lead to significant consequences. It could be encouraging you to find a way to regain control and seek solutions before things escalate further. Consider examining areas in your life where you feel like you are losing control and assess how you might regain a sense of stability.
