Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Dreaming of a journey implies growth and understanding of you. Whatever your journey your unconscious is telling you what to expect and to persevere. If you go on a journey with your friends it represents social change. It could also mean that those friends are going to help you along your way of discovering what is in store for you.

Hindu

A journey in a dream indicates that a great change is coming in your life. Dreams of a good journey indicate positive conditions in your future, while a bad journey suggests impending troubles.

Jungian

Much of your life is spent focused on the future and organizing the days ahead. When you sleep, you are closer to the sense that life is an unpredictable journey and that how it affects you is more important than where you are going. You may dream of taking a journey where you are a passenger on a ship, train or on a bus to an unknown destination. This type of dream can be both prophetic in terms of offering glimpses into the future you are currently building, and revelatory in relation to understanding the mechanisms of how you are creating it. See Vehicles and Places of Transportation.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

When one returns from a trip in a dream, it means paying one’s dues, dispelling sorrow and sadness, escaping from ill consequences, receiving a reward, or repenting from sin.
