Cart
To ride in a cart in a dream often marks constant work and modest luck — the plain labour of keeping a household supplied. To be harnessed to one like a beast marks servitude and pain. The dream tends to touch heavy, ordinary toil, and to ask what load we are hauling, and whether we pull it by choice or by yoke.

To see a cart, denotes bad news from kindred or friends.

For lovers to ride together in a cart, they will be true in spite of the machinations of rivals.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of being tied to a cart to draw like a horse, denotes servitude and pain; but to dream that you are carried in a cart, the contrary.
