I have a friend at work in a relatively new relationship. She came in the other day, completely freaked out about a dream her boyfriend had. She explained it to me, and wondered what it all meant. I told her The site I posted on has wonderful, talented people who may be able to help her with interpretation... So I will post it, and if you have any ideas, I will let her know? Thank you...
Her boyfriend has always had 'prophetic' dreams and moments.. chock full of deja-vu days and usually dreams of major events in his life, apparently. Which is what freaks her out about it. We live in a part of Canada that has a long escarpment.... rocky sided cliff edge roads, with winding/steep paths along it.. quite beautiful, and the city and highway workers keep them safe from erosion, and the roads quite usable along that way. It extends through alot of Canada, actually. Anyway, he dreampt that they were driving along a particularily steep road, with cars backed up behind them.. he saw it vividly..they were practically stopped, and there was ice under the car. When he stepped on the pedal, the car's front end came right up into the air, and instead of landing on it's roof, they rolled to the side, and right off the escarpment, he said he saw trees and branches and recalled feeling a branch hit him in the chest, and knew he had died.. but that his girlfriend, though unconscious, was still alive. He saw emergency workers and vehicles all over the scene. He said it was so real it freaked him out.

I told her often it is hard to distinguish real prophetic dreams from just 'worry/pent up-release dreams, especially if you have had them before... it is scary... but you don't know they are prophetic until after that familiar feeling and situation comes up... so if it were a prophetic dream, he will recognize the scenario, and therefore prevent this accident from taking place, by pre-knowledge, in which case, the dream is good. On the other hand, this is a new relationship, and they have recently admitted their love for each other. This dream could represent his worry and fear... he loves her so much he doesn't want to ever lose her, and they are young, so the likely way his would happen is through an untimely accident. Hence dreaming of one... He was grateful, he said, that she was alive. That reaffirms, to me at least, that this dream ws a fear/worry dream.
Does anyone have any opinions I can pass on? I would love to give her a different take on this... especially Ra's take, I have read yours, you rock! Thank you so much!!!!

Yeah, thanks Randall, I always have kind words for friends. Everyone else was very "oooooh, freaky, scary, omigawd you are going to die".
That is never a good thing, so I gleaned the best spin I could out of it.. there is definate truth to that, if there wasn't, I'd have found a golden nugget amoung the twisted metal somewhere..... Mercury Libra is good for lots!

YOU rock, pixlepixie!

My thoughts mirror yours.

Really, all I can do is reiterate what you have said. If the dream is precognitive, then hopefully it will serve as an early warning.

If it is not precognitive, then the symbolism can certainly be applied as you have said.

The road is his life path, and the car is the way in which he moves through life. If this is the case, then he is at a point in his life that is "looking up", but at the same time precarious, a bit nerve racking, and perhaps daunting (steep road). In his mind, it is also a point of "no turning back" (cars backed up). The ice could suggest that his emotions are "frozen" in some respect, kind of an "I-cant-believe-this-is-happening" state (not necessarily in a bad way!). So falling off the road could certainly be a reflection of stress/fears.

Life decisions, like relatonships, can certainly bring out subconscious fears of failure or hurt, so this dream is quite naturally suited to the situation - a normal reaction, I would say. The subconscious expresses some of this stress through dreams so that perhaps less of it will manifest consciously, like a pressure-relief valve.

Lets just hope this is a symbolic dream.

Yes, Let's DO hope that!
And Thank you for taking the time... everytime I see her at work, she askes me..."Did you post that dream? Did anyone say anything?" She is so cute with her big begging eyes, searching for answers... I am happy that I can tell her "YES!!! Here is a very educated take on it!!!"
I hate disappointing her, she is so sweet.. So THANKS!!!!
( And thanks for saying I rock... that's pretty nice too....)

Yes, Randall, you can ... more so than you think. Without you, there would be no "Ra", as "Ra" now exists.

Thanks spiria.
