traveling

Dreaming Lens: Were you planning your trip, beginning it, in the middle, or at its conclusion? Did the dream span the entire trip? Where were you going? Were you moving toward something or away from something? Were you excited? Were you anxious? Were you spontaneous or hesitant?

Personal Focus: This is a very broad image and the meaning described here can be applied to any dream imagery that resembles traveling in any fashion. It is best to break this symbol down into very basic segments. The location you are leaving is likely tied in with your past and elements of your life that you are letting go of and moving away from. Your destination, if there is one, may offer clues to where you are heading or desire to be. An unknown destination can point to a need to move your life into new territory, even though you may not currently be aware of what that might look like. The emotional qualities of the traveling can be a good snapshot of how your unconscious is responding to your current life path and the movement inherent on your journey.

The mode of travel will reveal issues around the way your life is supporting the desires you have. The effectiveness of your vehicle and the control you are able to exert over your direction may be a reflection of how these themes are playing out in your waking-life. The obstacles that present themselves are to be considered as a barometer for challenges you are facing that may be impeding your progress. Being stuck or unable to control where you are going might connect to some element of your life that is stagnant.

The speed of travel is important to decipher your perspective on how fast an area of life is moving. A train might indicate things speeding out of control whereas a cruise ship could feel impossibly slow. Very often only a small bit of a journey is what appears in a dream. In this case, the context and location will help identify what path in your life needs to be examined specifically by stopping and paying closer attention to where you have been and where you are going.

If the hills or mountains are fertile and green, you will be eminently prosperous and happy.
