Wagon
A wagon — a heavy hauler over rough ground — often touches an unhappy match and ageing troubles, improving uphill but bringing loss downhill, with mysterious treachery in a covered one. The dream may ask where you're labouring to haul a heavy load, and whether the direction you're driving is one you've truly chosen.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wagon, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a wagon, denotes that you will be unhappily mated, and many troubles will prematurely age you.
To drive one down a hill, is ominous of proceedings which will fill you with disquiet, and will cause you loss.
To drive one up hill, improves your worldly affairs.
To drive a heavily loaded wagon, denotes that duty will hold you in a moral position, despite your efforts to throw her off.
To drive into muddy water, is a gruesome prognostication, bringing you into a vortex of unhappiness and fearful foreboding.
To see a covered wagon, foretells that you will be encompassed by mysterious treachery, which will retard your advancement.
For a young woman to dream that she drives a wagon near a dangerous embankment, portends that she will be driven into an illicit entanglement, which will fill her with terror, lest she be openly discovered and ostracised. If she drives across a clear stream of water, she will enjoy adventure without bringing opprobrium upon herself.
A broken wagon represents distress and failure.
