Dreams set in foreign lands may suggest confusing new situations through which you must find a way. They may also suggest that you need a holiday. Dreaming that you are in the Arctic or Antarctic—both very cold and isolated places—may be a comment on your waking life. Dreaming of warm climates may be simple wish-fulfillment, but it can also suggest emotional warmth.

Dreaming of an expedition through an unknown land may refer to the need to explore an idea, project or relationship more thoroughly. Whether or not you are successful as an explorer in your dream will be significant.

If you set up a camp in your dream travels, this may suggest uncertainty and transience in waking life.

To dream that you are at the docks signifies that you are about to make a journey, either to another place or into undiscovered parts of yourself.

If you are dreaming that you are in a busy airport, it may symbolize a longing for freedom from responsibilities; alternatively, it may mean that you are heading towards a new stage in your life, whether it is a new career goal, new relationship or new journey.

If you find yourself at a deserted airport, it may represent plans that need to be altered or delayed.

Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
1- To dream about being or going abroad gives us an understanding of our feelings towards the widening of our horizons, or making changes in our lives. Such dreams may also be connected with beliefs about the country in the dream (See Places). We are dreaming about personal freedom or the ability to move freely around our universe.

2- There is a psychological need to get away from (escape), or leave, a situation. We are perhaps travelling towards something new. Our minds arc more than capable of accepting new input and experience and will often do so on a subliminal level. We then become aware through dreams of what we have learnt, or what we have to do.

3- In a spiritual sense going or being abroad is all about new spiritual experiences.
