What does it mean when you dream about a road?

Dreams about roads often represent one’s direction or goal in life. If the road is straight and narrow, what has been planned is being successfully carried out. If the road is winding or bumpy, the dreamer’s plans are vague or flexible, or the dreamer is meeting with unexpected change or difficulty. A roadblock may mean the dreamer needs to be more persistent and diligent, or double back and take another route.

Road

(dreams)
It usually symbolizes the journey that we take to achieve our goals. The road in the dream represents a road in your life. It could be the road to your heart, spirit, or mind. Consider the kind of road that you were on and try to see how it relates to your daily realities. If the road is straight, wellmarked, and lit, it may an affirmation that you are moving in the right directions. If there are many obstacles and the road is very hard, consider your options.
