Train Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a train usually speaks of a stretch of life you are not steering alone, one that follows a fixed track and timetable. Compared with dreams of driving a car, you have little chance to sit in the driver's seat here. So a train often stands for a situation in which the pace of your life depends largely on an outside structure, such as a job, your studies or family duties.

• Missing a train

  This very familiar dream is tied directly to the fear of missing a chance. Running for the train and still not catching it shows that keeping pace with time has become hard in some part of your life.

• Getting on the wrong train

  Deep down you have doubts about your current path, or about a decision you have made.

• Sitting by the window watching the view

  This dream carries a feeling of peace, the relief of letting things move at their own pace at this stage of your life.

• A train derailing or crashing

  This dream comes from a fear that something will happen outside your plans, especially when you are facing a big change in your life.

• Waiting at the station for a train

  This reflects a time when there is nothing to do except prepare for the next step.
