Wagon
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.

Wagon
A wagon (in British English, sometimes waggon) or dray is a wooden cart usually pulled by an animal, or animals, such as horses, mules or oxen and used for transportation of people or goods. Wagons usually have four wheels.
Sometimes, the word is also used for railroad cars (not motorized, for goods or passengers), and it's a part / the usual short form of station wagon, the non-British term for a sedan (saloon) with an extended rear cargo area. Other names: estate (car) / shooting brake (UK), break (F), station sedan (Aus), Kombi (generally in German language, in English also varied to combi), Variant (VW models), Caravan (GM's Opel models), Avant (Audi's wagons), Touring (BMW's wagons).
