Alley / Corner / Path Dream Meaning

If you appear in an alley within a dream, you may find yourself facing a dilemma in the near future. The image suggests that you may feel you have little choice while an avenue, street or path in good condition may indicate support for the direction you wish to take. Paths in dreams signify the direction you have decided to take in life; the type of path, and whether it is smooth, rocky, winding or straight, may be as important as the path itself. A rough track does not have a negative meaning if the journey was interesting and you felt confident in your dream about following it. A path can often represent the way you feel a relationship or situation is developing. It can also suggest a way to follow up a line of inquiry.

To dream that you are in a corner or see a corner signifies feelings of frustration and lack of control in making decisions. You may feel trapped and cornered in waking life. To turn a corner indicates that you are moving forward in your life, despite the obstacles in your path. You are no longer feeling trapped or restricted, and feel that you can handle the unexpected or new experiences.

You have gained a new and positive perspective on life. To be turning a right- handed corner indicates a logical course of action, whilst to turn a left-handed corner indicates a more intuitive approach to life. [1]
