In this short simple dream today I am traveling on a passenger train with my good friend, Kal. I believe this train is the Trans Siberian Railway and we have been forced to ride on this train. It seems that there are people in power who want us exiled to Siberia.
I can see Kal and I are wearing suits. I think the time period is late 19th or early 20th century. These people have offered us a free trip to a distant city. The offer, however, is a deception. They intend to have us arrested and imprisoned in a gulag when we reach the end of the line. Kal and I both see through their evil intentions, and half way through the journey, when the train makes a sudden stop, to perhaps change tracks, this becomes our one opportunity to escape. Outside it is sunny and midday we have stopped along side endless fields of high grass and shrubs. This is remote wilderness and we are thousands of miles away from the nearest village or town. We leap from our seats and out the door, and dive into the thick greenery to an uncertain future and situation. Then I wake up.
Trains in general are a symbol of personal growth and development both mentally, and spiritually. You can see the territory around you as you journey forth and it is with a host of other people. This dream is very much a metaphor for our current waking situation. Kal is my housemate and traveling compatriot both in the dream and in life. We have journeyed a lot of miles together. We are living in a new house in a city unfamiliar to us. Fate it seems as brought us together once again. We are good friends and allies to each other. We have faced our share of adversaries over the years. Sometimes it has been together and sometimes it has been alone. We have always been there to encourage and help each other. I am grateful to have such a loyal friend.
This dream has the flavour of a past life or alternate reality. This may be an indication of our karma. It may be that we are repeating and working off karma together today from a previous life. Our life today certainly has the feel of being in exile. We both escaped from some previously difficult circumstances and are presently trying to recreate a new life in a new place. The karmic theme may be repeating itself and we have yet another opportunity to improve upon our life mission.
Our choice to get off the train before it reaches it's final destination suggests something about the character of our friendship. Was our intuition toward our supposed benefactors correct? Did we surmise their evil intentions accurately? Did we make the right choice to leap from the train? I think we did, but will we ever know? We are loyal to each other to a fault. Is the dream a warning that we are on the wrong path? If our intuition was correct then we escaped from an awful fate. If our intuition was wrong then perhaps we have leaped into disaster. Between the both of us I have seen our record of correct intuitions to be extremely accurate. I have much faith in our gut feelings.
If Kal ever asked me to travel to Hell or Siberia with him I would. I would fight, escape or go anywhere with my good friend with no regrets. Fate and karma will just have to work out the rest of the details and that is all I have to say about that.
