Soul Train

In travels in dreams, the train is a powerful vehicle and symbol. It implies movement forward, and speedy movement.

It implies having an inner “engineer” and “conductor.” It can signify being directed by your inner being to a specific-life goal or destination, riding at times alone, being both engineer, conductor and passenger. At times others come along and travel and work with you – in life and in your dreams. 

It can indicate having laid a path, using a “map,” and then laying a road-bed with “tracks of steel” to your destination – when the dream train is a traditional track-wheeled train. 

The train can be a powerful symbol of a dream experience called mutual dreaming, in which two or more are traveling the subtle worlds together. The train implies safe traveling as the means and way is “engineered” by the individual’s soul-being or the collective “soul agreement” of the riders. When one follows (or rides) the “soul train” one is nurtured (trains do have diners) and assisted along the way, as the travel is in agreement with the soul’s destination and life purpose.

Of course, in the vast world of the mind and imagination, there are sky trains, space trains, and trains that burrow and tunnel through the earth – all signifying different potentials and movements that can be experienced in dreaming..

    Catching up!

    After a long "sabbatical" -  I will hopefully be back blogging on a more regular basis. I make no promises though, as there are many demands on most of us at this time.

    ​I have deleted many blogs, trimming down to a small number, a handful, to start anew. 
    ​
    ​ I hop to also share more stories on the crow, and some ancient stories, such as the immortal sage-crow, who mastered the breath to diminish sorrow, illness and death; the first, heavenly hound, and heavenly canine guardians of foreknowledge, intuition or keen senses to aid us and the heavens. 

    Such wisdom tradition knowledge appears important at this critical time and transition.

    It is said in the spiritual and wisdom-mystical traditions that when things appear darkest, an even "greater" Light is available, working to conquer the darkness, transform it, and enlighten us.

    We are called to be aware of it, to work with it, and within it.
