DIRECTIONS

North, south, east, and west all have symbolic meanings as to where you are headed mentally, emotionally, or spiritually.


Backwards

To dream of walking, running, or driving backwards represents awareness of yourself doing something differently that everyone else. A direction in life that may seem odd or to be the opposite of others.

Dreaming of going backwards may also reflect a loss of progress or a reversal of decisions.

To dream of facing or talking to people while standing backwards may reflect sensitive feelings about discussing uncomfortable issues. Talking about your problems briefly without discussing them in much detail. Feeling embarrassed to address certain issues too openly or too enthusiastically. Uncomfortable discussions that are hiding the full story. Intentionally ignoring discussing an embarrassing situation in detail. Noticing what a problem is without wanting to embarrass yourself talking about it.

Example: A woman dreamed of only being comfortable talking to people if they were standing backwards to her. In waking life she was very sensitive about discussing her doctors orders that required her to get a c-section because he pelvis was too small. She felt comfortable talking about the coming baby, but was embarrassed to discuss the c-section because she felt it made her look less of a natural woman.

Example 2: A woman dreamed of driving backwards in a car. In waking life she was intentionally testing her friends to see if they would prefer to never know her again while faking needing their help with her disease. Driving backwards in this case may have reflected her decision-making style preferring lose friends instead of gaining them while she tested them.

*Please See Reverse.

Reverse

To dream of moving in reverse represents your choice to intentionally reverse decisions or your direction in life. You may feel that you've gone to far with something or need to reexamine something before continuing again.

To dream of seeing something or holding something that has been reversed represents your feeling that something is the exact opposite of what you believe it should be. You may also feel that you have to completely start over from the beginning with something.

*Please See Backwards.

North

To dream of north represents a situation in your waking life that is increasing in safety, rationality, or positivity.  A less dangerous mindest.  Things doing what they're supposed to do with fewer problems.

South

To dream of south represents a situation in your waking life that is becoming more dangerous, irrational, or increasing in negativity.  A more dangerous mindset.  Things not doing what they're supposed to do with more problems.  Something going "awry."

East

To dream of east represents logic, reason, following the rules, order, and self-control.

West

To dream of the west represents feelings and thoughts associated with change, transitions, and the unknown. West in a dream can symbolize the desire for exploration and adventure, a willingness to embrace new experiences, or a departure from established norms and routines. It may reflect a sense of moving away from the familiar or seeking uncharted territory. A situation that is headed in the direction of irrationality or disorder. Thinking and behaviors that are wild, untamed, or out of control. Unpredictability. Being in control of yourself being creative. Feeling that people are aware of a situation being reckless. Dealing with situations that are outside of your comfort zone.

Positively, dreaming about the west may represent a sense of excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead in your life. Your openness to change, growth, and transformation. A readiness to break free from constraints and limitations and to pursue new opportunities and possibilities. Liberation from conventional norms and the exploration of new, unconventional ideas or lifestyles. A period of creativity, self-discovery, and breaking free from limitations. Embracing the wilder, more spontaneous side of your nature and finding joy in the unpredictability of life.

Negatively, dreaming about the west may indicate feelings of uncertainty, fear, or anxiety about the future. Feelings of being overwhelmed by chaos or uncertainty. Your reluctance to leave your comfort zone or a fear of the unknown. Experiencing a situation that is moving in a direction that feels chaotic or disordered where you may feel the need to regain control or find stability. Feeling that situation may be reckless for the rest of your life if you don't get control of it. Being out of touch with your rational side, struggling with impulsive behavior, or coping with disorder in your life. Fear of losing control, navigating through uncharted territories without a clear direction, or dealing with situations that seem irrational or disorganized. Moving away from the safety.

Example: A woman dreamed of being in a relationship with a coworker who was in the process of splitting up. She told him to get out of the car and drive west, not east, because a tidal wave was coming. In waking life, she was experiencing anxiety at work. She normally enjoyed her work, but recently her work life became very stressful. In this case, telling the coworker to go west may have reflected her feelings about telling herself to look for another job despite how unpredictable it might feel instead of choosing to think rationally about keeping her job while choosing to get along with people at work.

Example 2: A man dreamed of standing facing the western direction. In waking life, he was confronted with the need to race to a building before someone else to avoid a serious legal problem. The moment felt as though it might be reckless for the rest of his life if he didn't get to a specific location quickly. In this case, the western direction may have reflected his feelings about embracing a highly unpredictable and potentially chaotic situation.


Left


To dream of the left represents logic, reason, intelligence, truth, following the rules, order, self-control. Left can also represent positivity.

To dream of standing on the left facing the right represents an observation of a situation where you are aware of yourself having a logical, reasonable, or intelligently correct view of a situation. Awareness or surprise that you are correct about a situation. Feeling that someone else has a less intelligent idea than you do. Confronting someone who more creative or unpredictable thna you are.

The left or right sides in a dream are often one of the most revealing symbols in a dream giving you insight into how truthful or logical some aspect of your thinking is.

Right

To dream of the right side represents irrationality, wrong, bad, chaotic, creativity, lying, immorality, disorder, things that are wild, untamed, or out of control. Right can also represent negativity.

To dream of standing on the right facing the left represents an observation of a situation where you are aware of yourself having a illogical, over-emotional, or embarrassingly incorrect view of a situation. Awareness or surprise that you are wrong about an outcome. Confronting the truth. Feelings about someome else having a more intelligent idea than you do. Shock that someone else would behave a certain way.

The left or right sides in a dream are often one of the most revealing symbols in a dream giving you insight into how truthful or logical some aspect of your thinking is.

Example: A woman dreamed of seeing her husband in a car veering off to the right. In waking life her relationship with her husband was becoming more verbally abusive than normal.

Example 2: A man dreamed of seeing a man with black eyes standing on the right side facing the left. In waking life he was shocked to find out how terrible and dishonest someone he trusted was.

Up

To dream of going up represents ascension, improvement, and progress.  You may be experiencing a higher level up consciousness, momentum, or moving closer to goals.

To go up too quickly could point to an inflated ego, arrogance, or a fear of success.

Down

To dream of going down represents descension, loss, failure, and the worsening of conditions. You may be experiencing lower level of consciousness, negative thoughts, or moving away from goals.

To move down too quickly represents a loss of power, status, or a negative waking life situation.

Moving down may also symbolize becoming grounded, or returning to normal from a very positive or euphoric experience.

Example: A man dreamed of seeing his father fall down basement stairs. In waking life his father's health problems had gotten dramatically worse.
