What does traveling mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about traveling to a new place points to things like a desire for change, adventure, or personal growth. There are many different takes on that idea though.
It can also represent a journey of self-discovery or a transition in life.
Alternatively, dreaming about someone else traveling could indicate feelings of being left behind or a fear of change. It could also suggest that you are living vicariously through others. The common themes among these possible variants suggest a longing for new experiences or a shift in your current circumstances.
Traveling can often be a complex dream symbol to get one's head around. To really say without any doubts, I'd want to really dig deep into the dreamer's background and current situation.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of voyaging to an unfamiliar locale can symbolize the unconscious mind's yearning to explore uncharted territories of the psyche, a Freudian manifestation of the id's quest for novelty and stimulation.
Some additional thoughts on this: It may also reflect the ego's attempt to reconcile with repressed aspects of the self. Conversely, dreams of another's journey might represent projected aspects of your own psyche. This could be an expression of the Jungian concept of the shadow, suggesting unacknowledged or disowned parts of your identity. It may also indicate a subconscious recognition of the other's personal growth, triggering a latent desire for self-improvement within you. Both dream scenarios underscore the dynamic interplay between the conscious and unconscious realms of the mind.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of journeying to a new place can be a spiritual message about your soul's yearning for evolution and enlightenment. It's a divine nudge, encouraging you to step out of your comfort zone and embrace the unknown. This dream is a spiritual journey, a pilgrimage towards self-realization and higher consciousness. Conversely, seeing someone else travel in your dream can be a spiritual mirror reflecting your own unexpressed desires or unfulfilled spiritual quests. It may also symbolize your spirit guides or angels embarking on a journey to bring back wisdom and guidance for you. Both dream scenarios are spiritual signposts, guiding you towards personal growth and spiritual awakening.
