Calling all dream interpreters

So I have this reoccurring dream that happened to jostle me awake just now and I can’t go back asleep.

Here’s what happened tonight: I was driving in the minivan with two other people (they were not distinct people) and I was stopped at the red light at Blue Ridge and Western. It was late at night, and there were no cars coming. For whatever reason, I consciously ran the red light and played it off to my passengers as, “Woah, I can’t believe I just did that! I didn’t realize it!” I immediately see the dreaded blue lights behind me and proceed to try and pull over, at which point I find myself not being able to slow down or control the steering wheel. With the cop behind me the van hits the side of the road, spins — I think to myself, “I hope this is a dream,” and I was jerked awake, very relieved that it is a dream. But now I can’t sleep.

I have dreams about not being able to control the minivan at least once a month I would say. Typically it’s weird situations where my brain is TELLING my body to get control, or I am able to have control of the car, but just am not in control for some reason. I usually seem to be in some sort of daze in my dream — like I should be able to control the car but can’t. It’s a very strange, very real, often frightening feeling. There’s probably some deep meaning behind this, but I’m bored of this dream. Next please.
