A car in a dream mirrors your sense of direction and control over your life journey. Driving smoothly means you feel aligned with your goals and capable of steering your path. A broken car, lost brakes or a vehicle you cannot start shows stalled progress and a feeling that outside forces are slowing you down. Riding as a passenger means you have handed control to someone else, for better or worse. It prompts you to ask whether you are still the one deciding where you are headed.
