Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

1- For a map to appear in a dream often indicates the clarification of the direction we should be taking in life. We may feel that we are lost and need something to indicate the way forward, particularly so far as ambition or motivation is concerned.

A map that has already been used by other people would therefore indicate that we arc capable of taking a direction and learning from those people.

2- When we first set out on the journey of discovery which makes us grow into capable human beings, we often need clarification of the way that we must undertake the journey. In dreams this often appears as a map.

The direction we are being shown to take (See Position) is important; i.e. forwards, backwards, left or right and we are often helped by the idea of having a course to follow.

3- A map can obviously help us in our quest to find the spiritual way- forward.

It is worth remembering that we would need to read the map ourselves, and therefore we are our own guides.

The direction we are being shown to take is important: i.E. Forwards, backwards, left or right and we are often helped by the idea of having a course to follow.

A map is a detailed description of an area so that navigation of that area is possible. As a symbol, a map represents the guidance you need to go where you desire. Since most maps deal with land, the focus here is on traversing areas of your conscious mind. There is an implication, however, that you may be going to places as yet unexplored.

The map shows up in your dreams when you are about to go on a trek of self-investigation and is an indication that you are being guided by forces beyond your comprehension to help you do so.
