Brakes that do not work are one of the classic dreams of losing control. They are read as a situation gathering momentum while you feel unable to slow it down — work, a relationship or a habit. Pressing the pedal again and again is linked to effort that does not seem to change anything. Rolling down a hill points to things moving faster than you can think, while someone else’s car failing points to worry about them. Stopping safely in the end is read as finding control after all. It can help to ask where you need permission to slow down or say no.
Where in your waking life have you met something like this lately?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
