sliding car

I always have these dreams. So often that I could remember the details.

When I was very young, my old house has a quite steep slope just in front. In fact, my house was built on hill.

Don't know since when, I started having this dream:

In the car, I was alone. Any time sooner or later, the car will start to fall down, due to the slope.

That was an age which I don't know how to differentiate hand brake or parking brake or leg brake pedal. In every dream, I was trying very hard to stop the car from falling down, yet my attempt shows no help.

As my parents changed the cars, the cars in my dream were also changing. The same thing is that I will still in the horror of being slide down with the car.

As I learned how to drive, the dream has changed, slightly. The dream started taking place in various places, although my old house with the slope is still the most frequent.

In the newer dreams, I was on the driver seat.

There are also some variation on how the dream is developed, variations such as I am parking, I am about the stop, or I am about to start driving.

The parking one is like, every time finish parking, the car starts to slide down, and even if I hit the brake so hard or pull the hand brake, it won't help.

The stopping is in fact a lot more horror. I was in a situation that I was suppose to stop, but when I hit the brake pedal, the car just doesn't stop. Even when I use the whole body strength to kick the brake, it just reduce speed slowly and slowly, while I in horror see the obstacle get nearer and nearer.

What contributed to these dreams?

Maybe, they just showed that my desire to control a car, especially the brake?

Nevertheless, these are still my most frequent dream, and those that bothered me the most.
