When you dream of walking, it can be a reflection of the journey you are on in your life. What area of your life are you moving forward in? How fast or slow are you going? Answering these questions may help you decipher the dream’s message. Here are the views of wise people on what walking means in the language of dreams:
Walking: A Symbol of Journey
Ibn Sirin: Walking in a dream signifies progress in one's life, taking steps towards their goals and putting in effort. Sayyid Suleyman: Walking also symbolizes the progress of a person’s spiritual journey, fulfilling their religious duties and drawing closer to Allah. Talim al-Hakim: If the path you walk on in your dream is comfortable and enjoyable, it indicates ease and happiness in your life. If you are walking on a difficult path, it shows that you may face struggles and challenges.
Speed and Direction of Walking
Nablusi (Ibn Nablusi): Walking quickly in a dream signifies fast progress in one’s work, life or spiritual journey, achieving success and reaching their desires. Walking slowly indicates hesitation, reluctance, challenges and the possibility of encountering obstacles. Imam Ghazali: The direction of the path you walk on is also important. For instance, walking east in a dream may indicate that a person will encounter new beginnings, enlightenment and spiritual growth in their life. Walking west symbolizes the end, completion and the transient nature of life.
Walking and Psychological Interpretation
Freud: Walking in a dream can be a symbol of a person’s sexual urges. If there are obstacles on the path you walk on in your dream, it may represent challenges or obstacles you face in your sexual life. Jung: Walking represents an individual's subconscious journey and the journey of exploring one’s inner world. The people, events and objects you encounter on the path you walk in your dream can be reflections of your subconscious messages and thoughts hidden deep within you.
The interpretation of dreams is multifaceted and complex. The meaning of walking in a dream should be interpreted by considering the other symbols in the dream, the situations in the person’s life and their spiritual state. Seeing yourself walking in a dream can be an opportunity to discover your own journey and the direction you are taking in your life.
