AssalamuAlaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu
I got into a car accident a few months ago. Ever since then I’ve been scared of driving alone, and keep imaging the car crash in my head. But I also get these weird dreams where I’m driving and trying to press the brake, but the brake doesn’t work or it brakes too slowly and hits the car infront. Is there some interpretation for this dream or is just me overthinking?
Any help will be appreciated.
JazakAllah Khair
بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم

This situation can also be caused by thinking too much about that incident. Try to ignore it. Make a habit of reciting special prayers for a ride and for protection from accidents. Both these Duaa’s are given below:
While sitting in your vehicle, start with Bismillah. بسم اللہ الرحمن الرحیم then recite the following duaa:
سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا، وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ. (صحیح مسلم : ۱۳۴۲)
If you intend to travel, arrange to recite these prayers:
اللهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى، وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى، اللهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا، وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ، اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ، وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الْأَهْلِ، اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ، وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ، وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْأَهْلِ۔
(صحیح مسلم : ۱۳۴۲)
The prayer to avoid accidents is:
اَللّٰہُمَّ اَنْتَ رَبِّیْ لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ عَلَیْکَ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَاَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْکَرِیْمِ مَا شَآءَ اللہُ کَانَ وَمَا لَمْ یَشَاْلَمْ یَکُنْ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللہِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْمِ اَعْلَمُ اَنَّ اللہَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ وَّاَنَّ اللہَ قَدْ اَحَاطَ بِکُلِّ شَیْءٍ عِلْمًا۔ اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِیْٓ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِیْ وَمِنْ شَرِّ کُلِّ دَآبَّۃٍ اَنْتَ اٰخِذٌم بِنَاصِیَتِہَا اِنَّ رَبِّیْ عَلٰی صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِیْمٍ
