Cab Dream Meaning

Cabs can be seen everywhere in big cities and metropolitan areas. Because they represent big cities, business trips, corporations, and small businesses, cabs or taxis in dreams represent material attainment, money, prosperity, and wealth.

Because taxis transport you from one place to another, the appearance of cabs in our dreams can also say something about the locations we are at and where we are longing to be.

If the cab ride in your dream was generally pleasant and well-intentioned and nothing went wrong, or if a cab just drove by you on a walk, this is likely a sign of wealth and prosperity to come. Cabs are an opportunity for small businesses and a source of transportation for large businesses, so money and finance are heavily associated with the cabs in your dreams. There could be a few other interpretations as well.

In your dream you may have

• Ridden in a cab or taxi.
• Seen a cab or taxi pass you by.
• Flagged down or whistled for a cab or taxi.
• Driven a cab or a taxi.
• Become a cab driver.
• Been hit by a cab or taxi.
• Been unable to flag down a cab or taxi.
• Done something exciting in a cab or taxi.
• Been in a cab with someone you know.
• Been in a cab with a stranger.

Positive changes are afoot if

• The taxi ride was generally pleasant – this means wealth and prosperity.
• You had a conversation with someone in the taxi.
• You were in the cab with someone you knew.

Detailed dream interpretation

If you were unable to flag down a cab in your dream, or if you felt trapped or locked into a cab that you did not want to be in, you may soon be having bad luck with your finances. If you are hit by a taxi, be sure to keep a close eye on your investments and your bank accounts; something scary may be happening very soon. If you are the driver of the taxi, it is a very positive sign of the control you have over your life. You are in control of where you go in life and how much money you make and how you budget that money. If, however, there was a passenger controlling your destination in your dream, you may be too strongly attached to money, and not attached enough to your happiness. You are spending far too much time focusing on money and not enough time thinking about where you want to go in life.

If you were in a cab with someone you know, turn to this person for advice. The person you were in the cab with may be a good example for you, and, whether they realize it or not, they may be able to help you with a financial or relationship issue you have been experiencing lately. If you were in a cab with a complete stranger, you are worried about your reputation and the way other people perceive you. The way people see you is very important to you, especially in the work place. You are afraid you are not doing enough to please your boss, your coworkers, and your clients. Rather than seek acceptance, use the successful people around you as role models. There may be something you can do to be more like your boss or the coworker with the office overlooking the water.
