Pilgrim
A person travelling on foot to a sacred place — a figure whose journey is the practice.
A pilgrim in a dream is the dream's image of a person whose journey is itself the practice. The pilgrim is not a tourist; the walking, the discomfort, and the long approach to the holy place are all part of the preparation, and arrival is only the last small step. The dream brings the pilgrim when something in your life — a long course of recovery, a sustained piece of devotion, a slow approach to a person or a decision — is currently being lived as a journey whose worth is in the walking rather than at the end. A pilgrim keeping the road steadily is the dream affirming the right pace. A pilgrim trying to skip the long road by some quicker means is the dream noting that the practice of the journey is being refused, and the arrival is going to be at the same place but without the preparation.
