Dream interpretation.

Before diving in, it’s worth noting that any scientific validity todream interpretationis sparse.

7 reasons you’re dreaming about traveling:

You’re craving freedom.

You’re experiencing some kind of movement in your life.

“Traveling usually represents forward movementprogress in some area,” notes professional dream interpreterLauri Loewenberg.

You feel in control.

You feel out of control.

You’re experiencing some sort of ending.

The theme of endings existing within travel dreams can also relate to life stages and death, Ellis explains.

“They can, at the far end of the journey, indicate preparation for death.

You’re advancing in your career (or thinking about it).

Planes can also represent yourspiritual or religious path, she adds.

You’re searching for something.

Interpretations based on travel companions:

Family members.

A romantic partner.

If you’re on a boat, she adds they often represent our relationships.

(Relation-“ship,” get it?)

In that case, are you on an extravagant cruise liner that’s sailing smoothly?

Or are you in a broken-downboat that’s sinking fast?

you could guess which one indicates a relationship is heading south.

Ask yourself if you’re getting to where you want to go.

“This can be a big life question.

Are the people you are with helping or hindering your progress?”

Traveling solo.

Of course, there’s a chance you’ll be traveling solo in your dream, as well.

The bottom line.

Dreaming about travel isn’t uncommonandinterpreting these dreamsalways comes down to their context.
