Car
Life direction, control, ambition
House
Self, psyche, identity
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.
House
Houses are one of the most significant dream symbols, almost always representing the dreamer's self or psyche. Different rooms represent different aspects of personality: the attic represents higher consciousness and memories, the basement represents the unconscious and repressed material, bedrooms represent intimate aspects of self, and the kitchen represents nourishment and creativity. The condition of the house reflects your self-perception.
