Automobile
To dream that you ride in an automobile, denotes that you will be restless under pleasant conditions, and will make a change in your affairs. There is grave danger of impolitic conduct intimated through a dream of this nature.
If one breaks down with you, the enjoyment of a pleasure will not extend to the heights you contemplate.
To find yourself escaping from the path of one, signifies that you will do well to avoid some rival as much as you can honestly allow.
For a young woman to look for one, she will be disappointed in her aims to entice some one into her favor.

Automobile
An automobile (from Greek auto, self and Latin mobile moving, a vehicle that moves itself rather than being moved by another vehicle or animal) or motor car (usually shortened to just car) is a wheeled passenger vehicle that carries its own motor. Most definitions of the term specify that automobiles are designed to run primarily on roads, to have seating for one to eight people, to typically have four wheels, and to be constructed principally for the transport of people rather than goods. However, the term is far from precise because there are many types of vehicles that do similar tasks.
