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.
Flood
Flood dreams represent emotions that have breached their normal containment — feelings that are overwhelming and out of control. This can relate to grief, anger, love, or any intense emotion. Floods can also symbolize major life changes that sweep away the old and bring new circumstances.
