Many people who are mourning the loss of a loved one often dream of them leaving on trains.

Example: A woman dreamed of getting on an uncomfortable crowded train with no room to sit. In waking life, her boyfriend had just died, and she didn't know what to do with the rest of her life. In this case, the train may have reflected her feelings about being forced onto a long and uncomfortable life journey without her boyfriend with the start of this journey being the funeral (crowded train).

In waking life, he experienced a spiritual awakening after taking an Amazonian hallucinogenic tea called ayahuasca.

In this case, running on the roof of the train may have reflected his feelings about faking exerting extra effort beyond normal limits in order to keep his wife supporting him while job hunting might take longer than he expected.

Example 6: A woman dreamed of getting off a train. In waking life, she had raised her teenage granddaughter and was starting to get annoyed by her granddaughter's relationship problems.
