Railroad Dream Meaning

A dream of a railroad generally represents the journey of life.

It is also connected to the subconscious mind, indicating the dreamer’s acceptance of a situation based on the strength of his or her integrity. As railroads are connected to tracks, this is associated with the dreamer’s future, but it can also suggest elements around a certain event that the dreamer is aware of when he or she is awake. Dreams of rail tracks can come to the dream in all sorts of ways, from looking out of a train in a dream to walking down the tracks or seeing children even playing on the railroad. Firstly, the railroad is straight - a line of getting from a journey from A to B. In life, getting to our goals (meaning the destination) is never easy and always blockages in the way. Therefore, if anything was on the actual railroad during the dream or blocking the path this indicates obstacles in life. 

Detailed dream interpretation of a rail road?

The meaning of a railroad track represents the paths or choices that you have in waking life. To dream of rusty tracks means you can look into a person’s mind and know what they are thinking. The railroad is a life path that no one can deviate from. This is due to the fact that when one thinks of a railroad, what comes to mind is the desired track that one has to follow. Any deviation from the desired course defines a problem, so a train that peacefully passes along a railroad means everything is going smoothly to plan. Thus, it is easy to say that dreams about railroads have something to do with future expectations and opportunities. If you are travelling on a train it means that you may be looking for something new in your life.

What does looking from the side at a rail road mean?

If you are looking at the railroad from the side of the train, this means that you have a feeling of automatic certainty, and although you do not know where you are heading, you know pretty well that you are heading somewhere positive. You may or may not believe in fate or predestination as the railroad implies, but your confidence in your abilities and capabilities are going to move you in a good direction. It means that your subconscious is telling you to trust in the ‘now’.

What does it mean to be on a train and looking from the front?

If you are looking at the railroad from the front of the train, you may feel worried about where you are heading. It can be a good sign if you still have certainty of where you are heading and you are full of hope, but if you are sceptical, it is equally a bad omen because it means that you may forget some essential things in the coming days.

What does it mean to be on a train looking from the back?

Looking at the railroad from behind the train in your dream can give you the feeling of triumph in regard to leaving the past behind, or the feeling of fear in regard to things you have lost. You are certain that you are going somewhere, but you are not really hopeful about it because you are doing it to prevent something from happening. Your subconscious is making you aware of your need for motivation to get things done.

What does it mean to see more than one train?

To see more than one train in a dream is a positive omen, and it can relate to more than one option in a situation that is close to you. In a dream, the ‘the other’ train is not always the other choice. Most of the time, the other train is an option that will be presented to you. This means that you have more certainty and peace because you have greater self-awareness.

What does being off the train but on a railroad mean?
