Reversing car into a river

[mayfield]

It was night and I was getting into my car. There were a couple of people on the other side talking. I looked at the river and I noticed there was already a car floating in the river. The windows were open and it looked like it had been there for a very long time. I thought to myself that I wouldn't do that and would only reverse half way as it was not near to the edge. But when I started to reverse, I couldn't stop! I knew I was going into the river. My car hit the water with a bang and went straight down into the water. I felt my heart jump up into my mouth and couldn't shout out. The people came straight into my mind and thought they would come and help me. It went so quiet and I could hear the water around my car. It was dark grey and mucky. I was so scared and wanted to open my door to get out but I was so scared of the water coming in and thought I would drown. It was my worst nightmare come true. I have had this dream many times over the years but never gone into the water. Normally my car is falling backwards from a cliff into the sea, but I wake before I hit the water. This time it was a river and my car was going down fast into the water. Does it mean that I feel out of control with my life? Any help please. Thank you.

Perhaps it is a sign of being engulfed in a feeling, like you said being overwhelmed by life. Being surrounded by darkness and afraid to open the door, maybe a feeling of being scared to venture the unknown, or a fear of death?
