For some reason I shouted at my son for doing something wrong which he replies it wasn’t me and I said it was you so he ran off ahead crying, him and his friend and they both fell into the road of on coming traffic. They both got ran over by a few cars and then once it was clear I ran to the accident and they where both gone (for some reason they where under one of the cars). I chased the cars to tell them, after this all the cars were at the garage next thing my sons friend came down alive I’m asking everyone (no idea who) where my son is then they said he didn’t make it. I instantly woke up with dry mouth, my body felt numb and wierd and I was so upset. I went in to see my son peacefully asleep and I just sobbed my heart out

I had a dream that my ex-husband was killed in a car accident. We’ve been divorced for over 20 years and I’m happily remarried. He was driving a semi for some reason and was supposed to meet us (our youngest daughter and I) at a predetermined location. While we waited, we saw an unfamiliar older woman with a strange smile in a red coat (or car) drive by us instead. Something seemed off, so all of a sudden we were driving in the semi and backtracking along the route he would have taken. I could see something in the road moving…. like arms and legs. I jumped out and asked my daughter to stay in the truck. He had been decapitated and his limbs were just moving in reflex. I tried to comfort him and he died. I arranged his head so it was positioned on his body like it should be. Geez.

I had a dream today about me being a driver but at some point someone takes over the wheel but miles after the person did an accident happened resulting to the death of the driver and injury of the other passengers but I was fine without a single scratch. What does this dream mean? Please help.
I had two car accident dreams. One was on a Wednesday night and the other was on Thursday. And I’m so confused about what either means.
1. I was apparently alone with my car at this gas station and decided I’d leave my car there in a snowstorm and walk the rest of my journey to school by foot (even though I graduated irl) but after a second thought I got back in my car and decided that I was being stupid. But as soon as I put my car in reverse another car appeared stopped behind me, blocking me in my spot so I swerved around them and ended up sliding downhill, behind the gas station and into a very narrow ditch at a junkyard and I couldn’t get out of my car. My headlights also died out and all I could do was scream.
2. I was driving a car on a busy street and out of the blue decided to drive off the side of the bridge before I woke up.
