Baba is driving the car. amma is sitting in the passenger seat. I am in the back seat on the left side behind Amma my window is down and my upper is outside the car leaning out. I am giving Baba directions. he turns left on to a straight road that's quite narrow, and on the right hand side of this road is a huge man made Lake. suddenly out of nowhere, Baba takes a sharp turn right and rise into the lake. Because my window is down I am able to crawl out and escape to the surface. water fills the car and I am somehow able to open Amma's door and get her outside the car. I am screaming for help and there are lots of bystanders, and some men jump into the lake to help. Baba isn't hurt as far as I can see and he is conscious, and the men are helping to keep the car afloat, and they are trying to open the driver's door to get Baba outside. Baba keeps refusing to get out of the car, and he says he wants to drive the car out of the lake rather than abandon it. There are now a lot of people in the water trying to help us, and I am looking around in a state of confusion and shock, and also increasingly panicked that baba is not getting out of the car. this is when I wake up.
Dreams involving cars often symbolize life direction, control, and the journey we are on. In your dream, the fact that your Baba (father) is driving suggests he may represent authority or guidance in your life, while your Amma (mother) in the passenger seat could symbolize support or nurturing aspects of your life.
Your position in the back seat may indicate a feeling of being somewhat passive in a situation or feeling that you are not in control. Giving directions implies that you are trying to assert some influence or control over where things are headed in your life. The narrow road may symbolize a challenging or limited pathway that you are currently navigating.
The sudden turn into the lake represents an unexpected change or crisis that feels overwhelming. Water often symbolizes emotions or the subconscious, and submerging into the lake may reflect being overwhelmed by feelings, situations, or responsibilities.
Your ability to escape and save your Amma demonstrates your resourcefulness and protective instincts. However, Baba's refusal to leave the car may indicate stubbornness or a reluctance to let go of control or a situation that is no longer serving him or your family. His desire to drive the car out of the lake might symbolize a struggle to maintain control despite the crisis.
Seeing others jump in to help suggests that you have support available, whether from friends, family, or community, even if you feel panicked and confused.
This dream may reflect current challenges in your life, possibly involving family dynamics, control issues, or emotional struggles. It can also indicate a need to let go of certain elements in your life that are no longer beneficial, while recognizing the importance of seeking help and support from those around you. Consider what aspects of your waking life the characters and events may represent, and how you can address them to feel more empowered and secure.
