Just out of curiosity, do you think that it might be connected to you never having been in a crash?  Could it be that, subconsciously you keep telling yourself that the longer you're alive and the more days that go by without you being in one, the more likely you are to be in one?
I've been in a crash; at least one that I know of or can even remember.  I was bruised; I sustained no burns, I had nothing broken, and I certainly didn't die, obviously.  Not all crashes are fatal; not all crashes are even note-worthy, for that matter.  It doesn't pay to bellyache about the ones that get mentioned on the news or the ones you see when you're stuck in a traffic jam.  You can absolutely learn from them, and you should, but do not stress.
Sometimes you get rear-ended and that gives you a bit of a jolt; sometimes your car is the one doing the rear-ending either because of the driver in front, your driver's faulty judgment or a combination of both.  If you're honestly wondering if there's things you can do, there certainly is.  Remember to always wear a seatbelt, do not have someone driving you who might be impaired by any substance, avoid having someone drive you who takes their mobile devices too seriously and would rather pay attention to them rather than where they're going, and ensure they're always up to date on speed limits, places where their might be traffic jams owing to road construction, weather and other safety hazards.  Drug influence, speeding and distracted driving are the three leading causes of car crashes in the United States.  The fact is that, when you're in a car, it really is the responsibility of the person driving it to keep you safe.  If they have some sort of license to drive as is necessary here in the states, they should already know that.
I sincerely hope some of this helps you out, and if you have any further questions feel free to continue submitting them.

I have a similar problem. In my case, the nightmare is that I die either in a fire or explosion. The thing is, these nightmares have only started over the past year or so, and I've never been in a situation where I was in a burning building, or saw something exploding, so I have no idea what could have triggered it. I wouldn't say I have a fear of fire in my everyday life either, there are certain things I'm very consciously afraid of, but that isn't one of them. The way the dream usually plays out is that I'm doing something ordinary, just going about my business, and I happen to either look out a window, or be near a vehicle and see this wall of flames racing towards me. I'm helpless to do anything about it, I know that my death is imminent, and then I wake up. There have been a couple of times where I've heard actual explosions in the dream and then woke up too.

Interestingly, I've also had a fear of car crashes since I was little, although mine is different because I always feared that someone I love will get into an accident. When I was little, and my parents were at work, my grandparents would watch my sister and I. If one of my parents was late, even 10 minutes late, I would become inconsolable until they finally arrived, although I couldn't articulate why. No matter how much my grandparents tried to reassure me that nothing would happen to them and that they were just running late, nothing would comfort me. While this anxiety has lessened considerably over the years, I still catch myself feeling this impending sense of dread whenever someone is later than they said they'd be, although I don't usually start worrying these days unless it's like an hour or more. If someone I love is taking a long trip, and they don't text or call to let me know they arrived safely, I hate that, and get very angry at them, although I don't think I've ever explained this to anyone now that I'm an adult, because I know it's silly. Like you, I've never been in an accident, nor has anyone close to me been in a serious one, not accidents that caused injuries, anyway. I don't know how or why it all started.

It seems to happen allmost every weekend.

Something similar happens to me some times.
From when I was 4 or 5, I have a fear about something folowing me and trying to catch me.
I do not know why, this happens in nightmares just after I am doing something ordinary and I just feel something doing things behind me, so I just start to run, never feeling my feet on the ground again untill I wake up, mostly in another position than the one I remember falling asleep, usualy with the head where the feet should go.
And that is not the big problem, some times, mostly when it is dark, I am outside and alone, I just feel the need to run straight into my bed.
That mostly stoped recently, but I remember that happening when I was younger, even when I was inside.
I do not know why though, I have nothing against dark places, most of the time I love my room darker, just when I have to be outside at the country this starts again.

Okay. I’m going to go to sleep now, let’s see what happens. I’ll update you all in the morning. Good night.

Hello,
I'm no psychiatrist, but here's my understanding for all that it is worth.
Dreams are controlled, largely, by the mind.
To that end, if you walk around a car, knowing it wil crash, then your mind will make it crash. It's like saying, "I will knock over this drink." and then moving your hand and knocking it over. same concept.
In that way, I have found argument is a great way to distract myself.
"This car will crash."
Why will it crash?
Because I say so?
Great! well before it crashes, I say it will crash outside a mcdonalds, just after I've bought, and eaten, my cheeseburger, and woken up because I'm hungry.

Sure, it doesn't work all the time, but once you realise your dreams are controled by you, it helps, a lot.

The fear of being chased is quite a common dream, and usually indicates you feel you are running away from something in your real life.

It may also help to analyse your dreams in segments.
You're being chased by a creature who is unseen, but feels, at least, like he has taken your family away from you.

Translation: you are running away from either family obligations, or you feel your family is running away from you.

these are just a few ways to understand dreams, and there are many websites and trained psychiatrists who can do a far better job than I can.

HTH

I once had a lucid dream where I was in a plane that was doomed to crash. But, somehow, without even thinking about it, I wished myself to disappear, and then I immediately found myself teleported to some commons area where people were milling around. So, I somehow used this technique to divert what could've been really scary.

That's really interesting, I've never heard that statistic before. What makes blind children more prone to nightmares?

As for dream interpretation, I have a healthy dose of skepticism about it myself. Freud saw dicks everywhere he turned, the only place he never bothered to look was in the mirror, at least it seems that way to me. In other words, many of his theories have been debunked, so dream interpretation is something I approach with a lot of trepidation. On the other hand, maybe the reason it unsettles me so much is because there are things that made logical sense to me after dreaming about them, but I don't want to derail the topic so I won't go into that.

I have a feer of fire, so i often have a nightmerror about fire. To be fair, mine stems from having burned my hand on the stove, on a firestarter when trying to light a camp fire, etc.

I'm going to look into it all the same, that's fascinating. Unfortunately, a lot of statistics about blindness tend to be skewed, most likely due to lack of subjects and/or inadequate study methods. That's certainly not limited to blindness, of course, but whenever you try to collect data about any subset of the population, you're going to run into problems actually making those theories stick.

Hi guys. So I’ve been sleeping for the past two nights and while I can’t remember my dreams, I know they weren’t good. I’ve been extremely restless while sleeping. I have been very nervous during my dreams and I can remember wondering what will come next. I think I might of had the nightmare described in this topic last night, although I can’t remember it. What should I do? What do you guys think this is?  I also accidentally had a very vivid lucid dream about the rollercoaster accident. I could even feel the pain. LOL.
