What It Means to Dream About Trains
Dreaming of a train is read as a dream that represents your everyday progress, a sense of riding the flow of society, and how you choose your course.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, a train is a symbol of progress and course. A train that advances along a set track is read as representing the rhythm of everyday life, and how you move forward within society. Changing trains represents a change of direction, and missing a train represents anxiety about timing. Because it is a vehicle that carries many people in the same direction, it also brings out an awareness of keeping pace with those around you, and of your own position within a group.
What It Means in Different Situations
Riding a Train and Moving Forward
This represents a state in which you are riding the rhythm of everyday life. It is a season when you can proceed at this same pace.
Changing Trains
This represents a season of switching your course. A transition to a new line — a new role or new learning — has begun.
Missing a Train
This represents anxiety about missing the timing. Giving your schedule more breathing room will settle your feelings.
An Empty Train
This is a state in which you have recovered your own pace. It may be a blessed season when you can proceed without worrying about those around you.
A Crowded Train
This represents social burdens and the tiredness of matching yourself to others. Deciding the station where you will get off — the timing to rest — will help.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when you are thinking about your course and your everyday pace. It is a state in which the question "Is it all right to stay on this line?" is quietly growing.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas an airplane dream represents "an extraordinary move that leaps far," a train dream represents "everyday progress and the choice of course." It also differs from a car dream, which represents the freedom of driving yourself.
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is flowing at a steady rhythm. Rather than a major change of direction, small course corrections, like changing trains, suit this season. If you use your commuting or travel time for reading or learning, the flow of everyday life will change into something fruitful.
