A PASSPORT
A passport is the vital document
allowing you to cross frontiers—to
travel into another country. It is your
identity and the means by which you
can go from place to place. Dreams
often acknowledge the importance
of a passport, but it tends to be a
metaphor for something else.
YOUR PASSPORT IS
OUT OF DATE
A customs ocer is scrutinizing your
passport and frowning. He hands it back to
you, remarking that it’s out of date. Your
route is blocked. There’s no way you can
cajole, charm, or bluster your way through.
Action Accept this dream as a sign you
can’t yet move, whether this means your
home, job, or career. Now is not the right
time. Do some careful thinking after the
dream’s obvious hint. Ask yourself what
work must rst be done on yourself to
nd out how you can later symbolically
make your “passport” current.

A Passport
YOUR PASSPORT PHOTO
IS OF SOMEONE ELSE
You are among a crowd of travelers lining
up at airport arrival counters. They are all
holding out their passports for inspection,
and you present yours. Then you suddenly
realize the photograph in your passport
does not show your own face—it’s of
someone else. You’re turned away; you
cannot travel.
Action This dream is about how you
present yourself to the world. It is clearly
time to be more authentic and showed
your true self. Understand that even
though you may have spent years creating
a public image—how you look, dress,
speak, and act—your psyche is nudging
you to get real. Inauthenticity doesn’t
work: practice, little by little, letting others
see who you really are.
YOU ARE WATCHING
OTHER TRAVELERS
You are standing in an airport departure lounge,
merely interested as you see hundreds of
people waiting for their ight announcement or
ready to show their passports at the check-in
counter. You are curious about their destinations
and wonder what dierent countries they are
ying to, and what lies ahead for them. You then
realize you have your own passport in your hand.
Action Key to the message in this dream is
your interest and curiosity as you watch
others depart for unknown lands. You have
the means now to move—your passport is
evidence of this—so be encouraged by the
positive note to this dream. Additionally, you
are psychologically ready to move.
A DECEASED RELATIVE’S
PASSPORT
Searching for papers in the drawer of a
deceased relative’s desk, you chance upon
their passport. It’s long outdated, and their
photograph shows a much younger version
of the person you remember. You are
surprisingly touched to see that youthful
face in the passport.
Action Ask yourself: Why have this dream
now? What is going on in life that triggered
memories of this relative—were they happy
or not so happy? Their hopeful young face
might be relevant, or perhaps you need only
to reect on the preciousness of life. Is its
message to enjoy what you have?
