Possible ways to explore it
A symbol does not carry one meaning for everyone. Consider these possibilities, and notice which fit your own experience.
Missing a train might prompt reflection on urgency or an opportunity, without proving you missed anything in real life.
Traveling comfortably can draw attention to trust in a process or enjoyment of the journey.
Changing trains may be a useful image for a decision or transition.
The details make a difference
Notice whether you were on the train, watching it, or waiting. Your position may matter more than the vehicle.
QUESTIONS TO SIT WITH
✧Did you know where the train was going?
✧Whose timetable are you following at the moment?
Keep room for your own meaning
Use this guide as a conversation starter with yourself. It is not a validated method for decoding dreams, a prediction, or advice about another person. Ordinary memories and recent experiences may be part of the picture, too.
