A dream about traveling North points to things like progress and moving forward in life. But the meaning can vary.

It can represent overcoming obstacles and achieving goals. The North is traditionally associated with cold and hardship, so this dream could also indicate resilience and strength in the face of adversity. If something significant happens in the North in your dream, it could symbolize a major change or transformation in your life. This could be a positive or negative change, depending on the context of the dream.

Going north can be a somewhat very deep dream object to really clarify. To know without any doubts, I would have to get an understanding of the dreamer's life and current situation.

In the realm of the unconscious, dreaming of traveling North may symbolize a journey towards wisdom or enlightenment, as the North is often associated with introspection and contemplation in psychoanalytic symbolism.

The dream-symbol can have many permutations however. It could also denote a desire for solitude or self-discovery, reflecting the Freudian concept of the ego's quest for identity. Alternatively, dreaming of a significant event occurring in the North could represent an impending confrontation with one's shadow, a Jungian term for the repressed aspects of the self. This dream could be a subconscious invitation to integrate these hidden elements into your conscious identity, fostering personal growth and psychological wholeness.
