things in hand
Dreaming of car
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of To drive a fine carriage of your own foretells advancement and independence in your affairs, going where you will at your own pace.
Drawn down, it warns of A carriage broken down on the road warns of a stalled undertaking, and to be driven by a stranger denotes affairs passing into other hands.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The car is the vehicle of the waking self, how you move through your days, and to drive it with your own hands on the wheel means you are steering your life yourself. A well-running car is a self that gets you where you meant to go.
Drawn down, it warns of To ride in the back seat, or find the brakes gone, is a life being driven by something other than you, a habit, a fear, an old voice. The dream asks whose hands are on the wheel.
