Outback
The outback, Australian outback, Red Centre
Red earth, an endless sky and a straight road vanishing into heat haze: the Australian Outback is all space and solitude. Finding yourself there in a dream often comes when you crave room to breathe, far from crowds, noise and other people's expectations. It can also match a long, lonely stretch where you have to rely on your own supplies. How you felt tells the story. Peace means you're at ease in your own company, while feeling stranded says you've gone it alone for long enough.
Dream variations
- Driving across the OutbackYou're on a long road toward a goal with few milestones. Plan your stops, and refuel before you're running on empty.
- Seeing UluruSomething solid and lasting has caught your attention, such as a value, a person or a place. Lean on it; it isn't going anywhere.
- Stranded in the OutbackIn the real Outback, the advice is to stay with your car, where you're easiest to find. Don't wander off chasing a fix; make it easy for help to reach you.
- A starry Outback nightUnder a sky that big, your own worries look their real size. Remember the view the next time a small problem starts to feel enormous.
