Sleeping Airport terminal in dreams

An airport terminal in a dream is the dream's image of the anonymous, controlled space between two parts of a life that are far apart. Airports do not belong to where you left or where you are going; they are a third place, regulated and unattached. The dream brings the terminal when you are between two contexts — countries, careers, relationships — and currently belong to neither. A terminal with your flight boarding is the dream telling you the next phase is open and the move is real. A terminal where your flight keeps being delayed is the dream noting that the transition has stalled, and the longer you spend in the third place, the harder it is to remember which side you actually live on.
