Speed dream meaning is explained below using 9 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- Speed in dreams identifies an intensity of feelings which is not usually available in waking life. Because everything is happening too quickly, it engenders anxiety in the dreamer which creates problems.

2- Travelling at speed suggests trying to achieve a fast result. Speeding as in a traffic offence suggests being too focused on an end result, and not the method of getting there.

To be taking, or to be given speed (amphetamines) in a dream may have two meanings.

If the dreamer uses the substance in everyday life, he could be being alerted to a gift or talent he has which should be developed.

If he does not normally use the drug, then he is putting himself in danger.

3- There is a point when, as we arc developing spiritually, we lose our sense of time. Speeding things up may appear as slowing things down, and vice versa. This is all part of the growth process.

Interpretation 2 — Versatile - Anonymous

Psychological / emotional perspective: Travelling at speed suggests trying to achieve a fast result. Speeding – as in a traffic offence – suggests being too focused on an end result, and not the method of getting there. However, as the opposite to fast, being slow in dreams gives a sense of greater tranquillity than such frenetic behaviour.

To be taking, or to be given, speed (amphetamines) in a dream may have two meanings.

If the substance is used in everyday life, we could be being alerted to a gift or talent that should be developed.

If we do not normally use the drug, then we are putting ourselves in danger in some way. We may be trying to force an issue or pre-empt results.

There is a point when, as we are developing spiritually, we lose our sense of time. Speeding things up may appear as slowing things down, and vice versa. This is all part of the spiritual growth process.

The polarities of fast and slow – that is, speed and inertia – are a duality that, when handled properly, create a balance. Also consult the entries for drugs, quick and time as well as the information on anxiety dreams in the introduction.

Interpretation 4 — Versatile - Anonymous

Material aspects: Speed in dreams identifies an intensity of feelings that is not usually available in waking life. Because everything is happening too quickly, it engenders anxiety in us, which creates problems. In dreams, when everything slows down or seems to be going in slow motion, we need to consider very carefully each aspect of our lives at that particular moment.

To be moving slowly suggests taking greater care.

Interpretation 6 — Martha Clarke

To dream that you are moving at high speeds could express a hidden fear of death, which, very probably, comes from the recent death of a loved one. However, it could also allude to the rushing rhythm of your life; maybe you need to slow down a little.
