My younger brother is incarcerated. I had a dream that my brother and I got into my mom's Prius. As I was backing out of the driveway, I realized the pedals were too far and I lost control. The car went in reverse down a hill and I crashed into a neighbor's house that was owned by an estranged family friend who was angry and insulted me. My brother and I walked up the hill. I told my mom, cried, and went to bed. I woke up the next day to an email saying I got my dream job. I was excited and told my brother. I said by the way, the accident was a dream right? He said no, that was real. I panicked and woke up.
This dream could represent your subconscious concerns about your brother's situation and feeling out of control in his life. The car symbolizes your ability to navigate life and the fact that you lost control of the vehicle could mean that you feel helpless in your brother's situation. The crash into the neighbor's house may symbolize a fear of repercussions or harm coming to someone else as a result of your brother's actions. The anger of the estranged family friend could represent a fear of judgment or criticism from others for your brother's incarceration.
The dream job you received in the dream represents a positive change or new opportunity in your life, but it is overshadowed by the news that the car accident was not just a dream, but a real event. This could reflect your fear that your brother's current situation is not a temporary setback but a permanent reality that cannot be avoided. Overall, this dream may be highlighting your fears and anxieties about your brother's situation and your feelings of powerlessness in being able to help him.
