Dreaming of Distance

distance, far away, faraway, remoteness · mixed

Distance in a dream mostly points to a journey, with encounters that could change your life for better or worse.

What happens in the dream

  • Oxen plowing broad fields in the distance: growing prosperity and honor
  • You're far from home: a journey soon, where strangers could turn your life around
  • You see distance itself: travel and a long journey
  • Strangers blow you kisses from afar at twilight: a new affair that will end in embarrassing revelations
  • Friends appear far away: small disappointments

How you felt

  • Nostalgia: the dream often reflects a sense of distance from the people you love
  • Wanderlust: perhaps a wish for new horizons

Ask yourself

  • Who or what do I feel far away from?
  • Do I want to leave, and if so, what am I running from?
