Car
Life direction, control, ambition
Eagle
Vision, freedom, spiritual power
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.
Eagle
Eagles soar above all other birds and represent the highest aspirations of the human spirit. In Jungian analysis, the eagle is the supreme symbol of vision and the ability to see the bigger picture. In many Indigenous traditions, the eagle carries prayers to the Creator. Dreaming of an eagle may indicate a need for a broader perspective on your life or a call to tap into your higher purpose and spiritual power.
