Any types of vehicles in dreams generally
represent the motive force we use to get through life, but the type of
vehicle can tell you a lot, too.
Cars are pretty basic and generic; the main thing you need to pay
attention to is: Who is driving? If you are in a car with someone in a
dream, the person who is driving is not only in control of the
relationship, but is likely in control of your life, too. Let's hope
it's you! The color of the car may be significant, too.
Planes as dream vehicles represent the desire to fly above
the normal need to travel over the ground and adhere to the "one step at
a time" rules. So now you know what plane crashes mean! They mean this
hasn't worked, and you are going to have to dig in to reality after all.
Trains do represent vigor and vitality and passion, but
they are not only about sex, they are about going ahead through life with
the above qualities. Missing the train means fear of missing an
opportunity to do just this (or it could actually mean fear of taking an
opportunity!) and trying to get off a train means that you will be
disappointed with the outcome (destination) of a choice you have gone
ahead with. All the standard metaphors also apply, such as getting
derailed and getting back in the right track!
Buses represent conformity, trying to get through life by
being like everyone tells you you should be. Dreams of busses are often
dreams of having got on the wrong bus, that is, of living someone else's
life and not your own. Missing a bus is indicative of not being able to
fit in with the norm.
Boats sail over life and over the subconscious. The trip
may be smooth or stormy, and are often accompanied by fear of losing
sight of the shore, that is, fear of venturing to new horizons and giving
up the security of land. Being shipwrecked, whether or not you are eaten
by a whale, is a sign of the old way of life coming to an end and of
being reborn.
Your own two feet are also a legitimate way to get through
life, dreams of walking steadily along mean that you are making your way
on your own, using your own powers, but sometimes you might still be open
to accepting a lift in a passing vehicle or obtaining a horse to help you on your journey.
