Walking a long way
Travelling a great distance on foot — a passage made by the body at its slow honest pace.
Walking a long way in a dream is the dream's image of a passage made by the body at its slow, honest pace. The walk does not speed up for impatience; the road is the road and the miles are the miles. The dream brings walking far when something in your life — a long recovery, a slow piece of education, a displacement from one home to another — is being conducted at the pace the body can actually sustain, not at the pace the mind would prefer. Walking far with the right rhythm and the right pauses is the dream affirming the chosen pace. Walking far past the body's actual limit, with the legs beginning to fail under the count, is the dream noting that the distance was real and the body's signals were ignored, and the next stretch is going to be paid for at a higher cost than the steady pace would have asked.
