Dreaming of Driving
driving, car, road trip, steering · mixed
Driving yourself brings criticism and drudgery; being driven promises you'll always find a way through.
What happens in the dream
- You drive a cab: menial work with little chance of advancement
- You drive a fine carriage: unfair criticism of your spending, and tasks that feel beneath you
- You drive a wagon: hard times for a while
- Someone else drives you: you'll benefit from others' experience and always find a way through difficulties
- In love: you'll get what you want quickly, perhaps at the risk of undervaluing the other person
How you felt
- A need for control: the dream often reflects how you feel about the direction of your life
- Trust: perhaps a wish to let someone else steer for once
Ask yourself
- Who is in the driver's seat of my life right now?
- Do I let myself be helped?
