Dreaming of a Path

path, lane, trail · mixed

A straight, clear path promises health and happiness; a crooked or rough one, adversity.

What happens in the dream

  • A path lined with grass and flowers: freedom from a love that weighs on you
  • A broad, straight path: health, success and a happy romance
  • A narrow, rocky path where you stumble: a hard brush with adversity and feverish strain
  • You are trying to find your path: you'll fail to finish some work you've pushed hard on
  • A crooked path: trouble, especially if you're headstrong

How you felt

  • Confidence or hesitation: the dream may reflect how you see your direction in life
  • Weariness: a sense that everything is harder than it should be

Ask yourself

  • Is the path I'm on really my own?
  • Which obstacles am I putting in my own way?
