Dreams about being alone often refer to the solitary life you might be leading, but they can also refer to those times when you need to strike out in a new direction, separating yourself from your friends and family in a non-social context. To dream that you are alone in a crowd may imply that you are isolated from those around you, whilst being alone in a landscape may suggest that you prefer to make decisions by yourself. A dream of being an astronaut on a solitary space walk may refer to deep feelings of being alone or going it alone.
If you dreamed you were alone in a garden or the countryside, a more tolerable—even pleasurable—form of solitude may be being referred to. Finding yourself alone as a child is a powerful image of loneliness, emotional vulnerability and feeling lost.
