DREAM DICTIONARY : This dream dictionary is based upon hundreds of real dreams and has been meticulously researched. However, the only person who can truly identify the cause of a dream is the dreamer. Use the questions and quotes on this page to help you find out what has triggered your dream.

RAILWAYS : Railways move in a fixed line from Point A to Point B. So in some way they link to such a meaning. They maybe show you going about your life doing the same things and following a routine continuously. The dream maybe about a sudden change in that routine or about a need to change. In another sense it maybe about other people and their stubbornness in following only one line. It may show that they only think about one thing and are unable to act differently. So think of some theme in your life which features such a feeling right now.

QUESTIONS to help you make associations(pick the one that makes most sense to you)
- Some someone you know(including you) think only along certain lines?
- Has your usual routine changed recently?
- Does someone only think about one thing?

ESSAY : What is the symbolic meaning of the railways in dreams?
Railways in real life move from point A to point B and do not deviate in any way at all. So already we have a strong metaphor in that railways symbolise an inability or difficulty in changing course.

Railways can symbolise other people and their inability to change course or act differently. E.g.

"They forced me into making a scene. All my life seems to revolve around is me looking after them. I need to have at least a little respect."[Dream symbol - Railway dream]

"I tried telling him not to but he just didn’t listen"[Dream symbol - railway dream]

"I don’t want to be like those girls I met last night. They will do anything to get guys. They only think about one thing"[Dream symbol - railway dream]

Railways can link to a routine. You go in one direction and cannot seem to do anything else other than the predictable things that you do. E.g.

"I really just like keeping my usual routine going. All this disruption upsets me"[Dream symbol - railway dream]

"I tried to get myself out of that rut. I was just heading in the one direction."[Dream symbol - Train dream]

"I know when I became unemployed life just headed in one direction. It was all downhill"[Dream symbol - train dream]
