Dreaming of walking
Vinaya K. Manhas

While interpreting dreams of walking, it is the context in which you see yourself walking that is of significance. The condition of the road and of the surrounding area, the person with whom you are walking, your mood and so on, all have to be taken into consideration while interpreting such dreams.

As per Indian thought, for a person to dream of walking on an uneven path full of thorns and obstacles is not a good omen. Such a dream is a warning of ill health. Should you see yourself walking in a fast-flowing stream of water under a heavy rainfall then again it portends lots of troubles and sorrows. Should you dream of walking at night then losses are foretold. If a man dreams of walking hand-in-hand with a woman who is not his wife or if a woman sees a man in a similar dream then it is a warning that illegitimate relationships could be the cause of the dreamer’s downfall.

As per western thought, to be walking across a rough road foretells complications in business and ill will among relatives due to misunderstanding. Should you see yourself walking in a place that makes you happy then it means that luck shall favour you and you shall stand to gain from the materialistic point of view. if you see yourself walking at night then you are warned to be prepared to face many hardships while trying to achieve your goals. Should you be walking fast then it indicates that some property shall come your way.

Psychoanalytically speaking, if walking brings you peace and serenity then it denotes your desire to relieve stress and relax. Should you be walking aimlessly then you are advised to prioritise your goals and develop a purpose in life. Should you be walking with the help of a crutch or a stick then it denotes your need for support and assistance. The support could be emotional or physical or maybe even financial. Should you see yourself walking purposefully then it indicates that you are aware of what you want and also of how to get it. If you dream of walking all alone then it denotes the need to introspect. But if you see yourself walking with someone else then it indicates that you can communicate openly with that person, if you so desire.

A 33-year-old man would often dream of walking along a peaceful road lined with tall trees and with a gentle breeze blowing. He would be quite happy and at peace, but at intervals he would keep looking around as if on the lookout for someone. He could never understand who he was looking for. An interpretation of this dream indicates that although the man is satisfied with his life and is at peace with himself, he wants someone to share this pleasure with. His inability to find anyone in the dream means that in real life, he is not close enough to anyone with whom he can share his pleasures and moments of happiness. The man would benefit if he developed a meaningful relationship with someone.
