The time travel theme is common in movies but it has also become a common phenomenon in dreams too. However, in the dreams people hardly experience the time machine kind of travelling.
Oftentimes when you experience a time travel situation in your dreams it is because you have issues with your past or present. There are various reasons why you experience this dream because they don’t just happen.
Why You Experience Time Travel Dream
Here are the common reasons why this dream comes to you.
-
Regrets about The Past
Things might have happened in the past because of your bad decisions. You deeply regret those happenings and wish you could change the past. You wish you could do things differently and prevent the unpleasant ones from happening.
Perhaps you hurt a lot of people back then that you wish you hadn’t but since you can’t change anything, the best thing to do is live your best life now and do the best you can.
-
Worried About The Future
The future could be worrying you because you are so uncertain about how it will unfold. You see a lot of things not working out.
Perhaps a tough economic situation that makes you feel you are not saving enough for the future and it looks bleak.
If you have children you are worried about them and wondering what will become of their future because financially you are not doing great currently.
-
Movie and Books Influence
You could also dream about time travel because you have watched a lot of content based on that theme and read a lot of time travel books.
They might have occupied a great part of your mind and you might have gone to sleep with thoughts of time travel in your mind. Perhaps you feel like this idea is awesome if it were possible in real life.
-
You Miss The Great past
You could also have dreams of time travel where you travelled to the past which was greater and more beautiful than the present.
You miss the past and the people who were part of your past back then. You miss the happier times when things were uncomplicated and smooth. Perhaps this was childhood or high school years when you still lived at home.
Now you are at a different part of your life and wish you could go back in time and enjoy happier times. In your dreams you actually go back to these wonderful early days.
-
You Can’t Face Reality
Having a time travel dream could also be an indication of your refusal to face the reality of your current life.
It could be an unpleasant life that has left you so discouraged that you would rather distract yourself in any way you see fit. It is only proper that you face your life and try to find a positive solution to your current problems.
Common Dreams Of Time Travel
There are common dreams of time travel and their interpretations and they are as follows:
-
Going Back In Time To Fix
If you dream of going back in time to fix something, it could be because you blame yourself for doing something wrong that caused a lot of pain.
It could be a broken relationship that you did not mend or you just made a decision that hurt many people in your life back then.
You often have this desire to fix it which is why you travel back in time in your dreams to fix it and hope for a better outcome.
If there is something you can do about that past problem by making peace then go ahead and do it. But if there isn’t just make peace with yourself and purpose not to make major mistakes.
-
Going Into The Future
Having a dream about going into the future could mean a lot of things. If the dream is showing great and exciting things, then it means that you are optimistic about the future and feel the future has great things in store for you. The future looks bright and you can’t wait to experience it.
Perhaps you are at the peak of your career or approaching it, you have a great relationship and are looking forward to tying the knot with this person. You can’t wait to make future steps because they hold a lot of promise.
-
Going Back In Time To Destroy
Having this dream means you regret doing some good things in the past. Perhaps you were a founder of some group which currently reigns in terror or you helped someone who turned out to be a bad person and hurt you badly.
In short, your good deeds resulted in appalling levels of bad deeds because the people you extended this helpful hand to were not worth it and instead abused your generosity or skill or philanthropy.
Wishing to destroy something you helped build will not help and will instead cause you a lot of discomfort. Regretting will prevent you from enjoying the blessings of your current life.
Make peace with the past and move on. Let it be a learning experience and be careful who you help grow, build with or extend a helping hand to.
-
Going Into An Exciting Future
If you are having this dream, it is because you want to experience a changed future where there is great technological advancement and everything is possible.
You are looking at a future that is great for mankind and you want to be part of it. A future where machines will do a lot of good for mankind’s life and mankind is able to explore the stars without inhibitions. It might sound like the stuff of science fiction but deep down you wish for a future like this.
This dream therefore means you are in a position of greatness and more greatness is coming to you in the future, the kind of greatness that comes with influence. Do your best to influence positive changes every time you have the opportunity.
