Pilgrim road

A long road walked toward a sacred site — a journey whose purpose is in the walking as much as in arriving.

A pilgrim road in a dream is the dream's image of a long road walked toward a sacred site, whose purpose is in the walking as much as in arriving. The pilgrim walks for the walking; the destination is one end of the meaning. The dream brings the pilgrim road when something in your life — a long course of self-work, an extended grief, a deliberate spiritual project — is being carried out as a slow, intentional journey rather than as a fast goal. A pilgrim road walked steadily, with each day's distance covered, is the dream affirming the journey. A pilgrim road taken by car, with the walking skipped, is the dream noting that the destination is being reached and the work the road itself was supposed to do has been evaded.
