Journey / Travel in Dreams: Meaning in Depth Psychology
Your life in motion. Roads, trains, voyages: travel dreams tend to be about becoming, the distance between who you were and who you're turning into. Where you're headed, what you've packed, and who travels with you all belong to the reading.
THE CORE MEANING
The individuation process itself: life as movement, transformation as travel, the path between who you were and who you're becoming.
VARIATIONS: CONTEXT CHANGES THE MEANING
- setting out: Beginning a new phase: answering the call, crossing the threshold
- lost in journey: Disorientation in the individuation process, necessary but uncomfortable
- return home: Integration: bringing what was gained back to ordinary life. The return with the elixir.
- blocked path: An obstacle in the individuation process, something that must be confronted or circumvented
- wrong direction: The ego's chosen direction may not serve individuation, the unconscious signaling a course correction
