Dreaming of a Railroad

railroad, railway, tracks · mixed

A railroad calls for vigilance in business and points to journeys, even upheaval at home.

What happens in the dream

  • You walk along the rails: your skilful handling of affairs will bring much happiness
  • If you are single: a trip to see friends and some distinction
  • An obstruction on the line: foul play in your affairs
  • The track is flooded with clear water: pleasure will wipe out misfortune for a while, but it will return
  • You see a railroad: watch your business closely, as rivals are trying to push you out
  • You walk the ties: a time of worry and hard work
  • You travel by rail: you may break up or lose your present home

How you felt

  • Momentum: the dream may reflect a life on track, or a wish to switch lines
  • Worry: perhaps a fear of going off the rails or being overtaken

Ask yourself

  • Is my life running on tracks I chose?
  • Where do I need to stay alert?
