Dream About Train
As a mechanical means of transport, the train is tied to a life system that looks functional but is in fact fragmented — and to mounting social success, always to someone else's benefit.
Train in a dream
As a mechanical means of transport, the train is tied to a life system that looks functional but is in fact fragmented, and to mounting social success — always, however, to the delight of an alien programmer. The train stands for a path that outwardly seems entirely respectable and correct. For a short while it can deliver a quiet life, but behind that quiet you may soon hear the merciless clatter of gears grinding the person down. Getting off the train is a positive sign.

What does train mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, the train is a directive symbol: it points directly toward a needed action. As a mechanical means of transport, it is associated with a life system that appears functional but is in fact fragmented, and with mounting social success — always, however, to the delight of an alien programmer. The train embodies a path that outwardly seems worthy and correct. For a short time this path can bring a quiet life, but behind it you may soon hear the merciless clatter of gears grinding the person down. If the dreamer gets off the train, that is positive. For a precise reading, weigh the dream's overall context, the images that appear alongside it, and the emotions you felt while dreaming.
