(Demanding, Exacting, Pushing someone, Retaliation, Yielding) In a dream, a driving force signifies retaliation by something, or compliance and submission to someone, together with vigilance and wonderment about what might happen next. If one is driven by a human being in a dream, it means that he is pushed into committing a murder or that he is hired to attack someone. If one is driven by a beast, a lion or a bird of prey in a dream, it means humiliation by a superior person, or suffering from a disease.
