Vehicle in Dreams: Meaning in Depth Psychology

How you're moving through life right now. Driving = you're in control of your direction. Passenger = someone or something else is steering. Out of control = your current approach to life isn't working. The TYPE of vehicle matters too: a bicycle is different from a jet.

THE CORE MEANING

How you're moving through life: the vehicle of the ego. The condition and type of vehicle reflects the ego's current capacity and direction.
