Car breaking down

Broken-down car, Car won't start, Engine trouble

Your car sputters and stops, and suddenly you're stuck while everyone else drives past. It's a common dream when progress has stalled somewhere in your life, or when your energy has been low for too long. It can also show unease about something you depend on letting you down. If you fixed the car yourself, you believe in your ability to handle setbacks. Calling for help says you're willing to lean on others, which is a strength.
