Vehicle dream meaning is explained below using 12 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Nancy Wagaman

The means by which you move forward in your life (where traveling in the vehicle represents your movement forward through time).

Other people in the vehicle can represent individuals around you in real life, or just people in the world in general.

Being in a vehicle with other people can represent a recent or imagined shared situation (for example, a dream about traveling on a bus with a bunch of playful monkeys might represent your child’s birthday party last week).

Consider also the characteristics of the vehicle (for example, an expensive car might represent abundance or pretense, a damaged vehicle might represent a feeling of vulnerability or carelessness, and a dump truck might represent clearing out your to-do list or handling a messy situation).

See also the specific type of vehicle.

Interpretation 2 — Theresa Cheung

As well as indicating the manner in which you are progressing towards your goals or what is driving you forward in waking life, dream vehicles tell us whether we are in control of our lives or being driven by something or someone else. So if any vehicle appears in your dream, pay attention to the identity of the driver and try to make a connection to your waking life.

If you dream of a truck, much of the symbolism associated with cars also applies, but since trucks are often associated with business and work your dream may have hinted at the progress you are making in your working life.

If you dreamed of a rubbish truck, your unconscious may have been urging you to get rid of emotional pressures that are dragging you down. A dream of a taxi suggests a quick and direct means to your goal, but bear in mind that there is a price to pay for the trip. Are you prepared to pay it?

Interpretation 3 — Ariadne Green

A vehicle is one of the symbols most commonly found in our dreams, since it literally takes us to new realms and dimensions.

• Dented vehicle: Going out and finding that your vehicle has been dented may come as a response to an event that “dented” your self-esteem. It could come after a personal insult that caused you to feel degraded.

A huge dent may have even damaged your reputation.

• Recreational vehicle: On the open road, this vehicle may represent an early retirement from work. It may signify a desire to travel and see the countryside. It points to a leisurely lifestyle and thus may mention “Take your time and enjoy a little scenery.”

(2) If you are a passenger, this may mean you are not in control of your life or some aspect of it: so who is driving - what unconscious mechanism has taken over your life?
