Car
Life direction, control, ambition
Death (Others)
Change in relationship, projection, fear
Car
Cars in dreams represent your drive through life and how much control you feel. The driver's seat versus passenger seat matters enormously: driving means you're in control, being a passenger means someone else is directing your life. Car problems (brakes failing, engine dying) often reflect feelings of losing control or inability to stop a situation.
Death (Others)
Dreaming of someone else dying typically doesn't predict their death. Instead, it may represent changes in your relationship with that person, qualities of theirs that you're losing touch with, or your fears about losing them. If the person is a stranger, they may represent aspects of yourself that are 'dying' or transforming.
