Dreaming of a plane crash: What It Means

Falling dreams are very common and usually reflect insecurity, shaken confidence or fear of losing control. If you landed safely or weren't hurt, it's often read as getting through a rough patch.

A car crash dream usually expresses anxiety about sudden change or things colliding in your life. Surviving the crash, though, is often read as a sign that you'll get through a hard patch.

Flying dreams are widely linked to freedom, confidence and rising above limits. The higher and easier the flight, the more positive the reading.

Drowning dreams usually reflect feeling overwhelmed by emotions or circumstances. Because water is often tied to abundance in folk readings, some traditions give them a more hopeful twist depending on the details.

Thief dreams usually mirror fear of loss or feeling violated. A few folk traditions twist them into a sign of incoming gain, so the feeling in the dream is the best guide.

Being shot is a jarring dream, but it's usually read as a sudden jolt, shocking news or a sharp push toward change rather than a literal event. Whether it's positive or negative depends on how it felt.
