IN BRIEF: A person traveling in a car, bus, plane, ship, or other conveyance, but not driving or helping to operate it.

On my underground railroad I never ran my train off the track. And I never lost a passenger. — Harriet Tubman (1820?-1913), African-American abolitionist.

A passenger is a passive participant in a vehicle that is moving along. Positively, it could be a sense of going away to a vacation spot. Alternatively, a dream about being a passenger could represent a sense of being borne along by circumstances we do not control. If we are the driver, then perhaps we are taking responsibility for the passengers.
