Dreaming of a Train

train, railway, subway · mixed, leaning positive

A train foretells journeys and change, often for the better, sometimes in tiresome company.

What happens in the dream

  • You see a train moving: you'll soon have to travel
  • Freight trains: changes that lift you up
  • You're on top of a sleeping car: a trip with an unpleasant companion who costs you time and money
  • The train runs smoothly with no track: a worrying matter that will eventually pay off

How you felt

  • Momentum: a sense that things are moving
  • Lack of control: feeling you're on tracks someone else laid

Ask yourself

  • Where is my life heading?
  • Am I driving or just along for the ride?
