Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
Train
Trains follow fixed tracks and represent destiny, life's predetermined path, and collective journeys shared with others. A train on schedule suggests life is progressing as planned. Missing a train represents missed opportunities on your life path. A derailed train indicates life going off course. Trains carry the symbolism of industrial progress and the momentum of large-scale change.
