1- When a machine of any sort appears in a dream, it is often highlighting the body’s automatic functions such as breathing, heart beating, elimination - those mechanical drives towards life that help us to survive.

It is usually to do with some kind of mechanical, habitual form that is, the ordinary everyday things that take place.

The ‘mechanics’ of the body are an important part of our well-being and often when we perceive a machine breaking down in dreams, it warns us that we need to take care, that perhaps we are over-stressing a particular part of our being.

2- The machine is very often to do with the brain and the thinking processes, so psychologically it is the process of thinking that is important.

If a machine seems large and overpowering, we perhaps need to reassess what we are doing to ourselves.

3- A machine may well represent the machinations of life, which would be interpreted as The Life Process.

From the earliest times, machines were compared with the human body; therefore, when one appears in dreams, it may be referring to your physical well-being, especially if the machine malfunctions, is broken, or needs some kind of maintenance or repair. Therefore, if you dream of machines, you can interpret these images as a report of the state of your body and mind. The way they work will let you know how your health is. The fuel of the machine can symbolize your sexual energy or power.

If the dreamer is driving the machine, it probably alludes to their ability to function in life and deal with problems. The meaning of each machine depends on the elements that compose it and the pace at which it moves.

Material aspects: When we are confronted by madness in a dream, we are confronting those parts of ourselves that, within our present situation, have not been integrated internally or properly focused.

Psychological / emotional perspective: In dreams, machines represent the brain and the logical thinking processes, so psychologically it is the actual process of thinking that is important in this context, rather than what we are thinking about.

If a machine seems large and overpowering, we perhaps need to reassess the effect our actions are having, both on us and those around us.

Psychological / emotional perspective: Being mad in a dream represents the uncontrollable – and out of control – aspects of extreme emotion.

If we are conscious of being at odds with other people, and therefore considered to be mad, we are not integrating fully within society or the group to which we belong.
