Trains emerge in our dreams when we are undergoing major changes in our lives. The movement of trains runs parallel to our lives when there is movement, stop and new stages. You might get a glimpse of what might be occurring behind the scenes, possibly of events to come in the near future. These dreams are very symbolic that can alter depending the context.
When it comes to interpreting trains keep in mind that no two dream are alike, as everybody has different paths, and stages in their lives. Trains tend to show up as a metaphor reflecting your own personal development and how close you are to your destination. The train might appear as your current progress, thus reflecting the next stop as the specific event or goal. Train dreams consist either being missed, waiting, crashing; or being on the train.
