Dream Symbol
brakes

The brakes in a car or other vehicle can represent:

• Self-control or caution, or the ability to exercise it
  
• Slowing or stopping within a certain area of your life

Using the brakes too much can mean you're feeling hesitant or like your holding yourself back somehow in your life.

The brakes being stuck in the "on" position can mean you're feeling an obstacle within yourself but feel unable to work through it.
