What are possible meanings for dreams of passengers?

In simplest terms, a passenger in a dream is along for the ride. Someone else leads or makes the decisions. When you’re the passenger it means you’re not in control—in your life or a specific area of it.

For example, parents can lead the lives of their children, even into adulthood. They are “behind the wheel.” A supervisor leads your work life. A spouse or significant other is in charge of the relationship. A friend is the one who decides what you do together.

When you are in the driver’s seat and someone else is the passenger, it means you make the decisions and determine the direction. For example, as a parent you lead the lives of your children, and your dreams show you in the driver’s seat. Driving together in a car is a heck of an analogy for going places together in life. But if you dream that your child is in the driver’s seat and you’re the passenger, it might be saying that your child makes the decisions.

A passenger can symbolize a side of yourself that prefers to follow rather than lead. It can symbolize a feeling that you don’t have the power to get to where you want to be in your life, you’re unable to take charge.

Planes are closely associated in dreams with getting to the big goals in life. Being a passenger in a plane can mean you’ve created a vehicle to get you there, to be successful and reach the destinations in life where you want to be. For example, creating a business or career that “takes off.” A car can be used to create similar symbolism, except that generally the pace is slower and the goals more related to everyday life.

See the entry for Mother for some good examples of dreams that illustrate the symbolism of being a passenger.

Car dream

I was in a car with my mom. She was driving and I was in the passenger seat. We were on the highway and a car pulled out and it didn’t hit us but it scared my mom. She started going really fast and wouldn’t slow down even though I kept trying to get her to calm down. She was just staring off and kept going faster until it reached over 200mph and then I woke up. I think the car crashed. Idk if the dream means anything or was just a random dream but if you have any interpretations I would love to hear them and would appreciate it <3

Terrible dream last night

I had a really bad case of an “airplane landing” dream. I was a passenger in an airplane and there were only a few of us in the plane. We landed in Vancouver. However the person flying was somebody I knew in the dream and was inexperienced at flying. It seems we landed on a road in the city however it was near the airport? However the plane started moving through pedestrian areas and it was really violent. Very graphically violent. Men women and children all being mowed down by this plane I was in. Decapitation etc. I don’t even want to go into the worst scenes I saw. We got off but it was extremely distressing. I began to yell and cry in the dream. Then I was shopping oddly enough almost as if I was trying to ignore what had happened. And then it turned out I was on a laptop and one of the dead kids tugged at my leg and uttered a phrase that I’ve had to ask people at my ( very stressful) workplace where I’ve felt helpless, somehow this kid symbolized my inner child I think. I woke up immediately. It felt like a demon had come to me. Worst dream Im sure I’ve ever had in my life. I was about to launch something I’ve been working on for a long time however I have to reconsider. And I’m not sure what else to do. I’m so trapped. This project was my only option. I feel this dream was a terrible omen

A dream with a white snake.

English is not my first language.

It was nighttime, I entered as a passenger in a car that drove dangerously. I ended up arriving at a place that looked like museum ruins. It was the second time I had dreamed of this place. This time I tried to take a closer look at the place. Finally I arrived at a place that had high walls but no ceiling, grass and trees were dry and there were some scary objects like a mask hanging from a wall. As I walked through the place I saw a white snake standing on the ground about 3 meters away. I froze immediately in fear and someone told me not to run. Instinctively I started running and at the same moment the snake bit my right hand. I was in shock. That's when I joined forces and with the other hand very strongly I grabbed the snake by the head and removed it. I think I killed it when I removed it. Immediately I woke up in pain where I was stung in the dream. I was all sweaty and scared.

Could someone help me interpret this intense dream?
