Accident
Accidents in dreams often reflect moments when control slips—a sudden rupture in the order you've been maintaining, or anxiety about forces beyond your grasp. Perhaps the dream asks what you've been bracing for, or where you fear your carefully-built plans might fracture without warning.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for accident, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of an accident is a warning to avoid any mode of travel for a short period, as you are threatened with loss of life.
For an accident to befall stock, denotes that you will struggle with all your might to gain some object and then see some friend lose property of the same value in aiding your cause.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that an accident has happened to you, or to any one of your household, or with whom you live, foretells that you will see some one whom you little expect to see.
