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.
Driving
Driving represents your sense of control over life's direction and the choices you're making. The conditions of driving matter immensely: driving on a clear road suggests confidence, driving in fog indicates uncertainty, losing control of the vehicle reflects real-life loss of control. Driving someone else's car may indicate living someone else's life or using borrowed resources. Back-seat driving represents wanting control without responsibility.
