Four Points Of The Compass Dream Meaning

Vision: Walking toward the West is a sign of awareness.

The \\est is a region of extroverted (outer-directed) activities and order. Turning to the South means you are searching for warmth in the “land of emotion.” The North is more cool—a place of premonition and intuition.

The East indicates intensity and more introverted (inner-directed) thoughts.

Whichever direction you are traveling in the dream, translate its meaning into your everyday life. [1]
