Dreaming of Walking

walking, hike, stroll, walk · mixed, depending on the path

Walking in a dream depends on the ground: pleasant paths bring luck, while mud, thorns or darkness bring worry and illness.

What happens in the dream

  • Walking in pleasant places: fortune and favor
  • Walking at night: mishaps and a struggle to find peace
  • Walking fast: an inheritance, and the thing you long for
  • Walking through brambles or tangled paths: business complications and misunderstandings that cool relationships
  • Walking through mud or dirt: illness and annoyance; in love, bad temper and disappointment
  • Walking through water or a torrent: hardship and grief

How you felt

  • A sense of progress: the dream may reflect how you're moving through life
  • Weariness: a hard path often mirrors a stretch where everything takes effort

Ask yourself

  • Does my current path feel easy or hard going?
  • Where do I actually want to walk to?
