Wayside cross
A cross set at a roadside — a small mark of meaning placed where the journey passes.
A wayside cross in a dream is the dream's image of meaning planted directly into the route. The cross is not a building; it is a marker placed where a person died, where a parish ended, where a traveller paused. The dream brings the wayside cross when something in your life — a small ritual on a daily walk, a kept remembrance on a route you take often, a moment of reverence inserted into ordinary travel — is currently doing the work of a marker in motion. A wayside cross passed and acknowledged is the dream affirming that the meaning placed in the route is being received as you go. A wayside cross fallen and overgrown is the dream noting that the kept mark by the road has been forgotten by the road that no longer notices it.
