[Middle English carre, cart, from Old North French, from Latin carra, pl. of carrus, carrum, a Gallic type of wagon.]

IN BRIEF: A motor vehicle with four wheels; A wheeled vehicle adapted to the rails of railroad.

Telling the future by looking at the past assumes that conditions remain constant. This is like driving a car by looking in the rear view mirror. — Herb Brody

A boxcar on a train, a car in an amusement park ride, a lift car on a ski tram, or an elevator car may symbolize the self, and many car dreams denote self-control issues. Taking charge of one's life would be indicated if one were "in the driver's seat." Allowing one's life to be driven by others might be indicated by a "backseat driver" or by "taking the backseat." The dreamer may be being driven to new heights before he or she is ready. Or perhaps the dreamer is finally lifting himself or herself out of a rut. The emotional feeling about the car determines the meaning. (See also Vehicles)
