Dreaming of riding a horse (or other such animal) represents the ways you express your natural desires and animalistic drives. Dreaming that you are riding in a car or vehicle ( not driving , but riding in the passenger’s seat or backseat) represents the extent to which you create your own life and the circumstances you prefer. Riding in a car suggests that you are not in control of your life – you are not in the driver’s seat of your life. You may be allowing others to influence the direction of your life rather than taking charge and creating the life you most prefer. Dreaming that you are riding in the backseat suggests that you may be “taking a backseat” in some area of your life and allowing life to happen to you, rather than taking the initiative to create the life you most desire.
