Crossroads in a dream
A crossroads in a dream is read in folk tradition as a decision awaiting you and several roads that stand open.
In folk lore the crossroads is where roads and fates meet, so a dream about one speaks of choice. It is read that you stand before a decision, about work, love or a move, and that no road is wrong, only different. If you knew which way to go in the dream, it is believed you already hold the answer inside. If you stopped, old folk advise patience: better to wait a day than to set off blindly.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you are standing at a crossroads
By folk belief, standing at a crossroads means the moment of choice is near. Listen to your heart, but also hear out someone who wishes you well.
Dreaming of a crossroads with no signposts
Without signposts you are left to your own feeling, which folk tradition does not count as bad. It is believed you recognize the right road by how much lighter you feel on it.
Dreaming that you are turning at a crossroads
Turning is read as a change of habit or plan that brings you something fresh. It is said a new direction often reveals lovelier scenery.
Dreaming of meeting someone at a crossroads
Old folk see a meeting where roads cross as the sign of an important acquaintance. The person you meet may give you good advice or an idea.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
