Need help with a dream with lot of stuff in it.

First of all, I apologize in advance for any mispelling word or error, english is my second language :banana:

Ok here goes the dream.

The dream begins with me on a train leaving a trainstation, it was a bullet train and the color was light gray. The ride was smooth and fast, while going on a bridge there was an earthquake that did nothing to the train nor the track, while the train was on the bridge i saw thru the window and I could see a brown ocean with lot of waves and a lot of people running into that mess. I remember telling myself that they were crazy for getting into the sea.

After a while there was a lot of people riding bicycles on the train tracks, the train hit one bicycle and I told the train driver he couldn´t be hitting the people riding bicycles, so he slowed down for a while then i could see out of the train and was able to see the people falling from the track because the train kept hitting them, at one point the train got speed and took 2 or more 3 bicycles.

Back into the train I could see the track and one part of the track moved from left to right like if it was synchronized, when i saw that I thought i shouldn´t have told the guy to slow down, we missed the track and the train felt down. The train landed on the left side, nothing happened, everyone was alive.

We got into other train, and the ride was fast and smooth. In that train were 1 female friend, 2 cousins and a woman with a kid, plus the driver. My cousin was conforting or talking to her friend, I can´t tell because I was talking to my other cousin, when we arrive to the train station the kid stood next to the door and i thought "he shouldn´t be there because he could fall" but I didn´t say anything. Like i predicted when the train was about to stop the kid felt down I yelled the drive to stop but he didn´t do it and ran over the kid. Everyone got off the train and I told my cousin "that kid is not gonna make it".

After that I woke up.

I have read a couple of dreams dictionary, but they don´t make sense.

Any help will be appreciated.

Sorry for the long post.

No reason to appologize for the long post. Actually I wish it had been longer. :) Could you tell us a bit about yourself, what is on your mind, what issues you are struggling with, what changes are happening in your life? The reason I ask is because I do not believe that dreams can accurately be interpreted in a vacuum. Our dreams are formed in our minds, and they can be best understood in context. Knowing some context, hopefully you and I together can come up with a meaning for this dream: if you tell me what is on you mind, I can try to come up with ideas of how your dream relates to that, and then hopefully you can respond whether any of that sounds right to you.

Hi Joanna thanks for answering,

At this point my life is great, I moved to Costa Rica on november last year, the first few months were hard since I had little clients, but as today I can say im doing great, new customers every week and in 3 months there will be some changes regarding house, office, etc... I have to say I have neglected my social life I spent a lot of time by my own which worries me, I work a lot.

I had a business/friend partner but at the end I broke any type of relation since I don´t like to have people like that around me, basically he and his girlfriend are the only people I know in here. Im not the social type person, I study people, what they say, how they behave and if they act according to what they say. I know it sounds crazy but thats how i am.

My cousin´s friend, is the my ex-partner´s girlfriend, which I happen to like, it sucks i know, so since im the kind of person that respect relationships, when I broke the friendship/partner with her boyfriend I stop the friendship with her.

I know my social life is 0, sucks but other than that Im doing great, oh and lately I have been thinking for how long im gonna stay here, I might go to another country in a year or so, im not sure yet.

Thanks Again.

Ok, this is what I think - but keep in mind I may be wrong.

I think the train trip is like your life which is kind of on track - very goal oriented and following the work goals path. See, a train's path is less flexible and more predefined, following certain goals with fewer distractions, and I think your life which is mostly focused on work right now is kind of like that.

The earthquake that did nothing to the train may be about you being shaken up, perhaps emotionally perhaps by stress, but it did not affect you too negatively, despite having had the potential to do so. Perhaps this is about your prior troubles, during the first few months in Costa Rica that were hard.

People running into the ocean into the waves is very different from you who is on the train. Since I am interpreting you on the train as yourself being goal oriented in work life, perhaps the people who are running into the ocean are people with very different goals and very different lifestyles than your own, whom you have trouble understanding.

The people who get hurt may be the sacrifices you make by following this life that is focused on work, and your social life is sacrificed, so perhaps those people represent the social life. Also often in dreams other dream characters represent parts of oneself of one's personality, and if one interprets the dream like that perhaps this dream is saying that you are too negatively affected by your lack of social life, that your personality suffers? Of course dreams do tend to exaggerate, so killing off people in dreams does not usually mean that anyone gets killed in waking life, but it could symbolize broken off relationships and hurt feelings and such.

At one point you tell the driver to slow down. I think the driver is also yourself. Maybe you tell yourself to slow down a bit. Maybe you think that rushing on with your work oriented life should slow down a bit some times so that you can pay more attention to your social life more, to the things that you have been neglecting.

Then you see the issue with the tracks. I think maybe you are worried that if you slow down concentrating on work only that your work might get off track - off the track of your one goal. But the dream is telling you that it is ok, I think. Nobody gets hurt when the train gets off the track, so maybe even though you see a perceived risk to your work life if you focus more on your social life, but you rather think you will do ok and everything is fine if you live a little more socially.

So you get on the other train. Maybe this train is more about your social life than about your work? You are surrounded by family and a friend. Perhaps this is about family life - there is a woman with a kid there, are you considering starting a family some day? even if not, it is a more family oriented train, more about people. All seems to be going well, until toward the end. I am a bit baffled by why that kid is not going to make it, by why he has to fall. One possibility that has occurred to me though is perhaps this is about your lingering doubt as to whether you really can afford to focus more on your social life and on family and friends. Perhaps you still do worry that all will not be well with that.

Th train travel could also be about your moving from country to country, both before, and possibly again. Train travel after all usually is about long trips. However, methods of transportation in dreams often are symbolic. In my dreams more often than not it is car travel, and whether or not I am the driver and whether or not I know where I am going and whether I am lost. I have interpreted my own car trips in my dreams to be mostly about my spiritual and personal development, and taking charge of myself or not. However, your train travels may be more literal than mine, and they may be about literally traveling a lot as well.

The kid who is not going to make it at the end is what worries me the most. The kid may well be a part of you, a part of you that is at risk of falling or failing because you travel too much perhaps, pursue your work too much, do not stop and think enough or are not cautious enough with yourself. Take care of yourself. Make sure not to fall. If possible stay safe with your family and friends for support, because I think that part of you is worried about yourself, about the part of you who is represented by that kid. Which part of you is that kid? Perhaps he is the most vulnerable part of you?

I hope some of this helps. If not, please keep in mind that there are many possible interpretations of dreams. Of and not all dreams have deep meanings. I once had a very gruesome dream which involved a very brutal revolution that I participated in, and yet at the time of that dream I did not have any major issues, and in fact had just had one of the most pleasant days with my family. I wondered why I had this dream, and then I realized that I had participated in a study, and answered some questions about anxiety and anger, and while my answers to the questionnaire were that my anxiety and anger levels are very low, but my mind got some ideas out of that questionnaire for my dream I think. Also often dreams are about less important things like TV shows or books or news or advertisements we saw. So this dream may not be about the important stuff in your life after all if it does not sound right to you.

Hi Joanna, thanks again for answering.

What you wrote makes a lot of sence since for the lasts years I have oriented my life towards life experiences rather than making money. For some reason im the kind of person that doesn´t matter where I am, I allways find clients and meet people that are willing to help me.

Right now im thinking whether I stay here for more than 2 years (On november will be my first) or If i leave to somewhere else. Everything is based on whether i meet a woman and start a family or if I don´t met anyone by half of next year.

But one think is for sure, doesn´t matter where I go, I will allways have something to do and earn money.

thanks for taking the time Joanna.

Greetings.
