Driving
Control over life direction, agency
Eagle
Vision, freedom, spiritual power
Driving
Driving represents your sense of control over life's direction and the choices you're making. The conditions of driving matter immensely: driving on a clear road suggests confidence, driving in fog indicates uncertainty, losing control of the vehicle reflects real-life loss of control. Driving someone else's car may indicate living someone else's life or using borrowed resources. Back-seat driving represents wanting control without responsibility.
Eagle
Eagles soar above all other birds and represent the highest aspirations of the human spirit. In Jungian analysis, the eagle is the supreme symbol of vision and the ability to see the bigger picture. In many Indigenous traditions, the eagle carries prayers to the Creator. Dreaming of an eagle may indicate a need for a broader perspective on your life or a call to tap into your higher purpose and spiritual power.
