Dream About Traveling

Dreams about traveling are common. At the heart of this dream lies one secret which I will share with you. In my research, this dream can often occur when you are undertaking a spiritual awakening, even a transformation.

I bet you cannot wait. You're excited to be jetting off. But wait, this amazing feeling is in your dream. Oh no. I had to throw this in here. But, it is tempting to think that this dream is about a journey you may take in real life. Everything in your dream is symbolic of an aspect of yourself. The first goal: is to understand and learn what this “night travels” mean. How to open up the meaning so this can be used as a gateway to your own personal empowerment in life. I am Flo and I will help you make sense of your travel dream. To make this as easy as possible I have broken down each dream into questions. Just scroll down my dream meaning to find your answer.

Dreams of traveling can involve many “dream” props and often leave you in the morning wondering what it means. Maybe you could see yourself zigzagging through China or finding yourself on a safari among elephants, leopards. Traveling spiritually is all about an inner journey you are about to embark on. At a glance, this dream is a good clue to certain aspects of your life right now. Maybe you could see yourself traveling in a car, bus, train or getting on a plane with rotating propellers. I can reveal the following: everything in your travel dream is associated with an aspect of your life experiences. When you change your journey in the dream this is connected to enhancing your own understanding of life. My work over the last few decades has led me to determine that our mind and body are connected and awakened. Many people have contacted me about dreaming of packing bags, losing passports, taking a train journey, are you getting ready for a journey or carrying too many material possessions. I will deal with all of these in turn.

But the “travel” symbol in your dream suggests that you are connected to the direct levels of higher consciousness. Maybe you have been recently considering who you are as a human being and rediscovering hidden talents. To carry too much luggage on your person in a dream can indicate that you need to let any emotional baggage “go.”

What’s the general meaning of traveling dreams?

From a spiritual perspective, the dreams of travel can indicate your own physiological status in waking life. It can suggest that you are focused on moving forward as I have mentioned earlier. A journey is a symbol of transformation, a start, a symbol of risks and of course opportunities. There could be many things that crop up in your dream. To travel to a particular destination in your dream represents the path you’re currently walking in life and the actions you may take to determine your life goals. However, to travel and “get lost” in your dream also signifies your wish to escape reality and everyday routine. To travel by car in your dream symbolizes your movement in life. In other words, it represents your life journey.

If you’re carrying too much luggage, it means you’re holding on to your dead past that’s dragging you down. However, if you didn’t have any luggage in your dream while traveling and you felt free and easy, it denotes major changes in your perception of life and yourself in general. Buying tickets to a destination in a dream suggests you will experience something that will ease up and open your mind and soul.

I will say that spiritually a dream of traveling abroad indicates your desire to escape your current life and start a phase someplace far away from where you are at the very moment. I must confess I do sometimes think how wonderful it will be to just go away to the sea and sand and enjoy the weather and just simply relax. When I had a dream of traveling abroad to live in Australia it meant drastic changes in my real life. This is my message to you. I bet you already know what areas of your life. Your dream also suggests you expand your horizons, let your wild spirit guide you and open up to adventures.
