CROSSROADS
Crossroads in mythology and folklore are
magical locations between the worlds,
where supernatural spirits can be contacted.
More prosaically, they are the point at
which roads meet and, psychologically,
where important decisions must be made.
They often appear in dreams to indicate
turning points for the dreamer.

Crossroads
A CRASH AT THE
CROSSROADS
A car suddenly crashes into the back of
yours while you pause at a crossroads.
Surprised, you are being shouted at by the
driver of the other car. They claim the
accident certainly wasn’t their fault—it was
yours! They furiously inform you they
watched you sitting there for ages when
you could have driven on. They had urgent
business, now ruined by your inattention.
Action Be more aware of how indecisive
you can be. Are you inconveniencing
people by your lack of thought for their
welfare? Let this dream urge you to
examine your attitudes and realize
there are behavioral boundaries as
well as physical ones, just as at your
dream crossroads.
MOONLIGHT OVER
CROSSROADS
Standing in the middle of the intersection of
two roads, you are of two minds about an
emotional problem. It is nighttime, and a full
moon casts confusing shadows. You look
more closely at the contrast, though you are
still not yet sure what to do. The moon’s
illumination then somehow points out the
light and the dark in your moral dilemma.
Suddenly, you understand with total
clarity which route to take.
Action The moon represents your intuitive
feminine aspect, and this dream is guiding
you to make the right choice. Be grateful
that your psyche seems to have already
resolved your problem. It should now be
obvious what you must do. However
tempting, don’t ignore that advice.
NIGHTMARE
CROSSROADS
In the dream, you are living at busy crossroads.
Trac lights ash all night, the noise of vehicles
stopping and starting is incessant below your
window, and thin curtains let in the cars’ bright
headlights. Sleep is impossible, and you feel
a sense of deep despair.
Action Acknowledge that your life seems to
have sunk into a sad place. Accept things
could and will get better, but in the meantime,
learn to put up with unpleasant conditions,
whatever they are.
CROSSROADS OF
INDECISION
You are standing at a busy intersection,
bewildered at the choice you must make:
which road next? You can’t make up your mind
and are terried you will meet with an accident
if you stay there a moment longer. So you
carefully edge out of harm’s way, no decision
having been made.
Action What are you avoiding by making no
choices? Understand that the more you
procrastinate, the more you are likely to get
harmed—by other people’s angry frustration.
Think before you wander into situations
unprepared. Be clear on how to act so that
everyone may move forward.
