Dreaming Lens: Were you driving a truck in your dream? Were you watching it from a distance? Was it moving or still? Was it functioning in a particular way? What type of truck was it? Was it carrying any type of cargo? If so, were you aware of what it was?
Personal Focus: As with any mode of transportation, a truck connects symbolically with the movement on your chosen path through life. A vehicle that is not your usual mode of transportation points to an underlying shift in perspective of where your life is heading. A truck is a utility vehicle that is used when there is a need to move heavy cargo with ease. When one appears in a dream, the need being expressed connects to traveling into new territory that may require a considerable inventory of resources.
The size, structure, and purpose of the truck in your dream will give you the most informative clues for your interpretation. In identifying its specific use, you will have a better sense of the shift that is underlying this symbol’s meaning. A moving van has implications that are far greater than a pick up truck might have, as one indicates the need for a complete reorganization of some aspect of your unconscious while the other implies only a minor alteration. A truck with towing capacity points to the need to carry something old and broken into the new landscape that is emerging. A more specialized vehicle such as a cement truck or a construction vehicle might lead you to consider what structural or foundational changes in your life may have sparked this image. Body type, age, and color of the vehicle can also be considered for shades of meaning. An older truck could mean that you’ve made this change before, whereas something new could be commenting on the newness of what you are going through. [1]
A pickup truck usually represents masculine power.
A semi may indicate that you are carrying a huge responsibility in your life, or that you are about to confront the legacy of patterns you are carrying from the past.
• Dodge Ram: This symbol of masculine power combines the symbology of Aries, the Ram. with a truck that symbolizes male-driven ideas and power. It might suggest that you possess the initiative and power to take on the challenges facing you. It may also announce someone you could have to go to war with to battle for your rights.
• Ford Ranger: A Ford Ranger beside you or the road of life may comment on your angry side.
The word “ranger” breaks down to read “r-anger” or “our anger.” It may appear to remind you to cool off. [2]
