Coming Dream Meaning

Dreaming of someone or something coming toward you usually expresses a feeling that a change in your life is drawing near. When you are quietly waiting for something, that waiting shows up in sleep this way, so this dream often comes while you wait on a decision or on news in waking life. Much of the meaning depends on who or what is coming.

• Someone you know coming back

  This is tied to unresolved feelings around an old relationship.

• A stranger walking toward you

  This scene often points to a new opportunity in your life, or to an unfamiliar influence.

• Something unknown rushing toward you

  Something is racing at you from far away and you cannot make out what it is. A dream like this grows out of anxiety about the uncertainty ahead.

• Welcoming whoever is coming

  Greeting the arrival means your mind is ready for the change.

• Backing away in fear

  Pulling back from the arrival shows that you are not fully ready yet.

The real lesson of this dream is to meet what is on its way with an open mind, instead of trying to hold it off out of fear.
