What does the equator mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about crossing the equator can symbolize a significant life transition or change. But as you know, a dream seldom has such a simple interpretation.
It may be a representation of crossing from one phase of life to another, or experiencing a shift in personal beliefs or attitudes. Seeing the equator as a geographical line on a map in a dream could signify a desire for balance and harmony. It may also represent a boundary that the dreamer is either hesitant to cross or eager to transcend. The common themes among these dream variants could also indicate a longing for travel or exploration.
The equator is often a deep and fascinating dream experience to pin down. To know without any doubts, I'd want to really get to know the dreamer's background and current mindset.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of crossing the equator may suggest a subconscious grappling with the concept of duality, the Freudian "Eros" and "Thanatos" - life and death instincts.
But the equator can say quite a few things — It could symbolize a psychological journey from one state of consciousness to another, perhaps from the conscious to the unconscious mind. Alternatively, envisioning the equator as a geographical line on a map might indicate a preoccupation with order, structure, and the demarcation of personal boundaries. It could also be a reflection of a yearning for equilibrium between the id (instinctual desires) and the superego (moral conscience). The common themes among these dream archetypes may hint at an internal struggle to reconcile opposing forces within the psyche.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of crossing the equator can signify a spiritual journey, a transition from the material to the ethereal, or from the known to the unknown. It's a symbolic crossing over, a spiritual awakening or transformation. Seeing the equator as a geographical line on a map in a dream, by contrast, could symbolize the spiritual quest for balance and equilibrium, the yin and yang, the divine masculine and feminine. It's a reminder of the need for harmony between the physical and spiritual realms. The common themes among these dream variations could also suggest a yearning for spiritual exploration or a desire to transcend earthly limitations.
