Dream Symbol: path

path

  • A way to get from one place to another—either literally or symbolically (as in a course of action leading to certain results)
  • Your life path or life journey, or a portion of it—past, present, and/or future

Being stranded or lost can mean you're feeling stuck, alone, or helpless somehow in your real life.

Accidentally running off of a path can represent:

  • A feeling or a fear that you are off-track somehow in your life
  • A lack of attention to yourself, your responsibility for yourself or in your life somehow

Being attacked or injured while on a path can mean you're feeling vulnerable or unlucky in life, or are afraid such things happening.

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
