Train

A path already laid

What it often means

Trains in dreams symbolise the structured paths in your life — career, relationship, the well-trodden track. Missing one points to a chance feared lost; riding one to commitment to a current direction.

When it tends to appear

  • During life-direction reflection
  • When you fear missing your moment
  • When you have committed to a path with momentum

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Was the train arriving, departing, or off-schedule?

  2. 2

    What "track" are you on, and is it still yours?

  3. 3

    What might it mean to step off this one?
