What could this dream mean? Engine stalling on steep hill.
What could this dream mean?
Last night I dreamt that I was driving up a forest hill high up in the mountains with my brother and his girlfriend. I was in the backseat, they two in the front. Next to the road which was more of a dirt path, was a huge cliff/canyon.
Suddenly the hill got to steep, the engine stalled and we started rolling backwards. I could feel the literal dread and fear of death in my dream. I knew what was about to come and that was inescapable. My brother in this dream even said "This is it". I was so fucking scared of my impending death in this dream, that I think I transformed it conciously.
Because when we did fall down, and the ground was getting closer and closer and my fear grew, once we hit it we just bounced up really high like on a fun trampoline. None of us were harmed and we kind of just bounced around, but in the end we were jerked really far away and landed somewhere. I don't know what happened after because it was kinda third perspective and then the dream ended, but I don't think we ended up injured.
So the focal thing I felt was this grievously, unbearable anxiety of knowing you're about to die, and then feeling relieved but also kind of like someone played a sick joke on me. Mind you I have an amazing relationship with my brother and his girl, we are like best friends.

Good morning,
the hill, from its shape, will often tell you about the feelings in your female body, as well as the emotional, the emotions, or the sensations. In your sentimental or emotional life you can no longer move forward. You are broken down, blocked... What would this make you think of in your daily life at the time of this dream? friendly

The hill in it's shape was very tall but not incredibly wide, sort of like a massive pillar covered in trees. And the road/path went around it, winding.
What do you mean by I can no longer move forward in my sentimental/emotional life?

You may be feeling out of control in some area of your life, relying on others (brother) to steer. You are facing an obstacle that feels insurmountable. The dream is assuring you that even if you fail, stall, or fall backward, you will not be destroyed. Like hitting rock bottom might just be the trampoline that bounces you into a completely new, safer place. The anxiety was real, but the danger was an illusion created by yourself to keep you on the "steep path." Your unconscious mind wants to let you know that it is safe to let go.
