About a song repeatedly coming into my dreams...?
Does anyone know the exact meaning of "Jesus, Take The Wheel" by Carrie Underwood coming into every dream of mine? I' truly love God and Jesus, by the way. I can't do life without Them; they're my best friends.

Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
Just by the title, I'd have to guess that subconsciously you may be wondering about or struggling with the notion of Jesus being in control of your life..taking the wheel of a car, boat,etc..means you are the one in control of where that vehicle goes. So it may be that you are not sure exactly to what degree you need to have Jesus calling the shots. I've heard of CHristians who get up in the morning and ask Jesus what clothing they should wear that day, or what to eat for breakfast.
I tend to believe God doesn't feel the need to be involved in such trivial matters. God is more concerned about our spiritual growth. So if you struggle with being able to hear from God clearly and you are asking questions about trivial things, He may answer simply to help you grow in the spiritual area of communication with Him. God is also concerned about us truly helping and loving our fellow man, that means everyone.
God has also given each one of us a will and we can choose with our will to do things that may not help us move forward in our spiritual experience yet are not truly bad either. Here's something I have done that helped without having rto wonder about Jesus having control in my life, it was more about whether God was pleased with me. I would often ask if God was pleased with me and He would say yes and sometimes tell me what exactly it was that pleased Him. He won't interfere with our free will He gave us so He doesnt tend to butt in and take control of our life in the way humans often interpret control, like being the hand in the puppet or the person pulling the strings on a Marioneette puppet. That is not how God has been in my life.
I would advise that you work on your ability to hear clearly from God for yourself. Then sometime in the future, you'd be able to ask him exactly what last nights dream was about or what a day vision you saw meant. God gives me pictures and scenes that play on the screen of my inner mind and its not for entertainment value like watching a show, its to communicate but I need the explanantion as to what the things I saw, actually mean.
Don't worry if you dont hear back...cus he's hearing you just fine and is answering but that part of us inside that has the ability like a radio to pick up the 'waves' isn't fully developed yet and will develop stronger and become more in tune when you've done a whole lot of talking to God consistantly even when you cant hear the replys yet. That is the only thing that will help you to be able to hear from Him yourself someday. You could try practicing at times, asking for God to give you picture in your mind to give you a clue what to say to someone, perhaps your compliment or encouragement is the only one they'd get all day.
I''ll give a quick example before I let you go...
Lets say you get an image of yourself feeling frazzled and tearing your heir out. You are in line at checkout and when you get to the clerk, you can see she doesnt look all that happy. Smile and ask how her days been. If its been bad or she doent feel well, she might tell you. Find a small way to take her mind off her troubles for the moment by paying an unexpected compliment, whether its on her earrings, she's wearing a color that really looks good on her or you think she has a lovely name. When God gives you an image, its about what it means to you, thats the clue as to whats going on for someone else. If the clerk looks tired by is still very friendly...I try to also put myself in the other persons shoes...you know they have to be nice to customers even when they've been harassed by them or or sick or tired. Thank her for always being so friendly and smily no matter what her day is like and that her enthusiasm even for a brief moment does brighten up your day. Then watch the sun come out as they break into an even bigger smile. This is what Jesus wants, us caring about others, even in the little things and its starts with hearing from him. Hope this all helps dear.
