Vehicle Dream Meaning
Whether it is a car, truck, bus, boat, train or plane, vehicles most often represent the level of control you feel you have in specific areas of your waking life.
What Does it Mean to Dream of a Vehicle?
If you are the one operating the vehicle: This is a strong indicator that you feel in control.
If someone else is operating the vehicle: This could indicate your need for a break in responsibility by allowing someone else to “take the wheel” for a while.
If you feel unsafe while you or another person is operating the vehicle: This indicates that you feel you are lacking control in waking life.
If the vehicle crashes: This indicates that you may feel you are on the wrong path and must start over in some area of your waking life. This could also indicate the end to something in waking life and that a new chapter in your life will begin soon.
