Dream interpretation - trains and railways as dream symbols

DREAM SYMBOL STUDIES : Real dreams featuring trains

THE DREAM I am in a railway station. Things seem to be going well. I see a little girl whose father I know(he is interested in horse racing).

THE REALITY The actual day of the dream was the first day of a Horse Race meeting - Royal Ascot at York. This major sporting event was been moved to York just down the road from where the dreamer lives. It was a major and exciting event that was on all the TV and Radio.

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "A big event was being held on my doorstep and the whole country was wacthing. It is quite exciting being the centre of attention. I hope everything goes OK"

DREAM INTERPRETATION Well dreams may well seem to be about one thing and will actually be about another. They may pick up on symbols from around your current life and build them into a story involving some other situation.

The day of this dream was a big day in the region where the dreamer lived. This year Royal Ascot was not being held in Ascot but near where the dreamer lives - York. The mood of excitement was building amongst the local population. The station in the dream seemed like York Railway station. The big worry was that the transport system would not hold up to the huge pressure.

The dream was most likely a premonition of the day ahead. Most premonitions are on the actual day of the dream. Its not unusual for the days emotions to be caught in a dream. Indeed the dream did capture the feeling that everything went smoothly. On the days previous things had not gone smoothly at work. But this day everything went OK. In particular the timetable went to plan.

Its arguable that the dream was about the same subject - the dreamers timetable and schedule and a need for greater planning. The dream works in both cases. If the dream is a premonition then admittedly its a very weak one. But such dreams are usually right in their predications so I would tend to see them a premonitions.
------------
THE DREAM I was at a train station of some sort and I was working on the payroll, adding up the timecards. I had 2 timecards in particular that had the employees name handwritten on the top of them and they were supposed to be arriving from somewhere to catch a train and I was stressing out because it was m responsibility to get their tickets handled. I was trying to take their timecards and process them through this machine so that I could get their tickets. I knew the train was on it’s way, but I never saw it. Then in the middle of this I suddenly remembered that another employee would be coming for his paycheck and I only had an hour to get his done. But instead of stopping what I was doing to get this man’s paycheck done, I frantically started to try and run the timecards through this machine again to get the tickets for the train. I feel deeply disturbed today and I don’t know why.

THE REALITY The dreamer owns a business which is suffering financially. This was starting to effect the dreamers personal life as well.

DREAM MEANING The dream captures the following feeling within the dreamer - "Me and my husband own a business together and it is suffering financially. This is starting to affect my personal life."

DREAM INTERPRETATION This dream undoubtedly link to the background information presented by the dreamer. Her business was suffering financially. It is difficult to assess if this dream is about the day to day stress associated with the business or specifically to her relationship with her husband.

The dream features some quite obvious metaphors. The dream features two people and that could easily symbolise her and her husband. The time cards could represent the lack of "time" that they have together as a couple. The train station could symbolise the need to make the "connection" in an emotional sense.

Yet we can also read the dream as linking to general stress. The timecards can link very clearly to the everyday administrative tasks linked to a business. The need to make the connection could symbolise the need to keep cash flow moving. So missing the train could symbolise the need to meet some financial deadline.

DREAM SYMBOL STUDIES : TRAINS

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.

KEY WORDS(Pick a quote which captures your feelings right now. Think especially of the day before the dream) :
- "Its always the same"
- "he just does not listen"
- "they only think about one thing"
- "my usual routine"
- "I was stuck in a routine"
