Dreams about Walking

A dream about walking on foot may have dual meaning pertaining to the same psychomotor activity in real life. On the one hand, the dream vision could symbolize walking as either a relaxing form of exercise or a stressful and tiring activity. On the other hand, it could also indicate a desire to slow down the fast pace of life. For another different symbolic meaning, it could also mean experiencing scarcity in terms of financial resources or technical knowhow which is otherwise necessary to move forward and succeed.

To dream about walking and heading to a distant place, worrying that it might take you a while to get there, is symbolic of missed opportunities for leisure and enjoyment in reality. In your effort to reach your goals in life, you may be focusing too much on the end result of your current undertakings, rather than enjoying what pleasures the present may be offering while you are doing what you need to do to achieve your dreams.

Having a dream about walking at a fast pace or doing brisk walking in an effort to catch up with someone or something is a subconscious admonition about the stigma of living on ill-gotten gains. Making a living by illegal means, profiting at the expense of others, or dealing in shady transactions to hasten your way to success is a despicable and completely unacceptable act which should never be justified, no matter how noble the purpose or intention. This dream vision is a reminder that happiness can only be bought with money which comes from hard work and honest living.

Dreaming about walking at a slow pace or walking as though in slow motion as seen in movies speaks of a huge letdown after setting high expectations for a current project or undertaking. You could soon experience a crushing blow despite investing a lot of time, money and effort into a project or relationship, and despite having high hopes of excellent monetary or emotional investment returns. Nevertheless, the experience would teach you a valuable lesson and make you a wiser and more astute person.

A dream about observing other people walking is a symbol of rivalry and competition. Someone at work, in your line of business or in your romantic life might pose some serious threat to you, give you a run for your money or cause a heartbreak. This dream vision reminds you not to be too arrogant or too complacent about you own capabilities, or you could end up losing an important office position, a huge chunk of a target market, or the love of your life to someone you initially considered an underdog who did not have a speck of a chance to outsmart you.

To dream about walking in the countryside evokes feelings of loneliness and nostalgia brought about by a physical absence. A loved one or someone who holds a special place in your heart may have been away for a while, and you could be missing him or her terribly at the moment. Nevertheless, a lot of your friends would fill the void caused by this person's absence by spending time with you and keeping you company as often as their schedule would permit.

If you are a female reader, a dream about walking in the countryside is a prediction of a happy life in the future. With or without a family of your own, you would feel self-sufficient and contented with the simple pleasures your future life would provide for you. On a sad note, this dream vision indicates the possibility of going through a period full of regret and sadness caused by your painful separation from the love of your life.

A dream about walking purposefully toward a target destination as a learning experience or for educational purposes, such as visiting a famed historic site on foot, signifies a personal participation or involvement in an investigation or research on a matter which you and your nosy companions deem to have huge monetary or knowledge value. If the dream vision includes a throng of curious people composed of familiar faces or complete strangers, it indicates that several people in your waking life would try to get involved in the activity so they could also get *a slice of the cake* or collectively share in the expected profit.

Walking along a city street filled with crowds from all walks of life during festivities is a reflection of discontentment and unhappiness over an unfavorable outcome. Huge investments in an undertaking could only yield dismal and disappointing end results. For instance, spending on expensive suits to look sleek at work, or spending too much on transportation to get to work, presuming it is the only job available to you at the moment, could do you more harm than good because your meager salary could not support such an expenditure. Investing in top quality, state-of-the-art equipment for the mass production unit of your business may not be a wise decision after all, since your old but less expensive piece of equipment might prove to be more cost-efficient.

Dreaming about walking alone along an empty city street or enjoying a happy, carefree, unaccompanied stroll of the city streets at night predicts an upcoming period of joy and contentment in real life. It indicates a successful life anchored in the security of having a stable source of income and a loving family. However, falling victim to robbery or assault in the same dream is an ominous sign of losing a lot of money from overspending, or becoming an unwilling participant to a family feud regarding inheritance.

A dream about walking through natural landscapes, especially if it is a leisurely activity punctuated by numerous short pauses to admire beauty in its many peculiar and spectacular shapes and forms, symbolizes a much needed break from the monotony of home life. You would soon have more free time for yourself and your family because a significant improvement in your finances would change your lifestyle, and you may not have to do the household chores on your own. You might be able to afford a house help or two to run the house for you and your entire family, giving you more opportunities for individual or group recreational activities whenever you want, however you wish.

Dreaming about narrowly escaping or nearly avoiding a deadly accident, for instance while walking along a shoulder of a high-speed limit freeway, speaks of the importance of taking calculated risks in every endeavor. In order to ensure the success of a project, business or undertaking, due diligence must be exercised every step of the way to minimize if not completely prevent risks and damages, and to make the right moves by using all the appropriate resources to meet all objectives, which would ultimately lead to the desired outcome.

A dream about walking together with the family, for instance during a picnic at the park, predicts a strengthening of relations among family members and close friends. A series of events and occurrences would serve as avenues to form deeper bonds and foster more meaningful relationships. Past misunderstandings and grudges would be considered water under the bridge, and previous hurts and transgressions would be forgiven. This liberating and emotional experience could be the beginning of a life of peace and prosperity for everyone involved.

Having a dream about walking along the cobblestones of a cemetery and trying to locate a loved one's grave site is symbolic of beneficial departures. It is an indication that you might soon leave home, either permanently or on a temporary basis, to look for greener pastures *on the other side of the fence*, that is, in a place where you may know not a single soul but which may hold the key to your success. Despite the uncertainty, your courage could save you and reward you with a life-changing opportunity.

Walking hurriedly along a road and observing the darkness slowly enveloping the surroundings long before reaching the destination symbolizes an unfinished business or unfulfilled aspiration. For reasons which may have to do with your lack of motivation or inability to sustain your enthusiasm, you would never be able to finish a project or undertaking which you started on an otherwise optimistic note.

Having a dream about walking and groping your way through the darkness, and emerging in a well-lit place, is the subconscious equivalent of an old piece of advice which says, *There is light at the end of the tunnel.* This dream vision is reminding you to never lose hope in whatever situation you may end up. If you have reached rock bottom, there is no other way but up. Being able to crawl out of the dark pit and into the light aboveground would be the ultimate test of your character.

Dreaming about going for a walk or walking for the mere pleasure of doing such an activity is a favorable sign indicating good health, financial stability and success in all things which mean so much to you. If you are surrounded by natural beauty while walking in your dream, this indicates better health, greater wealth and a more fulfilling life.
