Railroad tracks

Train tracks, Railway tracks, Railroad crossing

Railroad tracks run side by side until they seem to meet at the horizon, and that long, parallel look sets the tone of the dream. Walking along them may mean you're following a path laid down by others, such as family plans or a set career route. Crossing them is a step over a boundary, and the moment of looking both ways matters. Tracks that split at a switch hint at two options that run close together for a while before parting. Old, rusty rails half hidden in weeds may lead back to a plan you abandoned long ago.

Dream variations

• Walking along the tracksYou're sticking to a well-worn route. Look up from the rails now and then and take in the land around you.
• Stuck on the tracksSomething has stalled in a place where it can't stay for long. Move the one piece you can, today.
• Crossing the tracksYou're about to step from one stage of life into another. Look both ways, then go.
• Overgrown, unused tracksAn old plan still has its route in place. See whether it's worth clearing for one more journey.
