Even a short dream where you just saw a train has an interpretation. However, the dreams could have elaborated symbolism if details were added in the dream.
Here we are to discuss those details and their interpretation. Let’s start with the general interpretation of a train dream.
General Interpretation –
Trains are associated with a journey. Thus, they have a similar meaning to a dream. When you see a train in your dream, it indicates your journey in life. The elaborated meaning of a journey is related to your path towards your goals.
It might indicate that you are traveling on the right track and should continue to travel. Undoubtedly, there will be hurdles in the way, but you have to face and overcome them. A journey in life can never be a straight road.
If it is, something is wrong, or something is hidden. You have to move forward carefully but with sheer determination. This is not the only interpretation a train dream carries. There are many more that indicate other aspects of life. Here are some more interpretations about a train dream.
1. Unmatchable Strength –
An average train weighs around 300 tons. Therefore, you can have an idea about the sheer strength it possesses. Similarly, a dream where you see a train indicates your strength.
Maybe you are unaware of it because you have never been able to use your strength. However, the dream suggests that you possess unmatchable strength, which will help you to overcome all the hurdles in life.
You just need to decide and start moving forward, and your strength will take care of the journey. When you realize your strength, With great strength, comes greater responsibilities.

If the barrier is with an aspect of life, you need to go on a hunt. Travel back to your memory lane and track the barrier. Remove it if you can, or just forget about it. You will notice a definite change in your life because most aspects are related to the past.
3. Miracle In Slow Motion –
Another critical aspect of a train is its movement and motion. As the train moves rapidly, so does life. However, you can not achieve a goal rapidly. You have to keep on moving towards your goal slowly but steadily.
This is what a train dream suggests. If you ever try to move fast, you will miss the significant aspects of life. Maybe, you will lose some people from life as well. Therefore, try to slow things down and enjoy the moments of life.
You might have heard the phrase ‘Rome was not built in a day,’ then how can you expect to achieve your goal quickly. Work hard, and plan well, but don’t expect a quick result. Your constant hard work and dedication will be the cause of a miracle.

I was on a full passenger train, and I had the window seat. I was looking out and saw a man with a rifle shooting people on the street. He had a black bag at his feet. There weren’t many people on the street and I knew he would turn toward the train and shoot. I tried to get my seat passenger to let me out but he didn’t budge. I vaulted over him and layed flat on the floor. I could see that the ticket man in the next car was telling people to get down in the isle, that someone was shooting at the train. That was it.
