Dream Symbol · Universal Language of Mind
awareness of the possibilities within the scope of one's life
A 'Map' in a dream represents your awareness of the possibilities available to you within the scope of your life. A map shows you the territory -- the roads, the destinations, the paths between where you are and where you could go. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects your ability to see the bigger picture of your life and the many directions available to you.
A map does not take you anywhere -- it shows you what is possible. It gives you perspective, context, and orientation. It helps you see where you are in relation to where you want to be and what paths are available to get there. When a map shows up in your dream, it is reflecting your awareness -- or your need for awareness -- of the possibilities in your life. Can you see the bigger picture? Do you know where you are and where you want to go? Or are you lost without a map? If you are holding a map, the awareness is available to you. If you are searching for one, you need to develop a clearer vision of your life's possibilities through contemplation, goal-setting, and the visualization of your ideal life.
