Imagine you and some of your family is somehow riding on a yellow flat car of a train. There isn't an engine ahead as it looks like a run away train, and the car jumps the track due to the high speed, barrel rolls and digs up dirt,while everyone is tossed out on the ground. The cars are kickin' dirt up and coming your way; but the strangest thing; the cars are about 10 percent their size now, and you could stop them almost with your body.....
Train
To see a train in your dream represents conformity. You are just going along with what everyone else is doing. Alternatively, a train means that you are very methodical. You need to lay things out specifically and do things in an orderly and sequential manner. In particular, if you see a passenger train it is indicative of mental work, but if you see a freight train, then it refers to the burdens and problems that you are hauling around. It is also symbolic of manual labor. Dreaming of trains may also be a metaphor that you are "in training" for some event, job or goal. According to Freud, a train is analogous to the male penis.
To dream that you are on a train symbolizes your life's journey. It suggests that you are on the right track in life and headed in the right direction. Alternatively, the dream means that you have a tendency to worry needlessly over a situation that will work out in the end. To see or dream that you are in a train wreck or runaway train suggests chaos. The path to your goals are not going according to the way you planned it out. You are lacking self-confidence and having doubt in your ability to reach your goals.
Yellow
The color yellow has both positive and negative connotations. If the dream is a pleasant one, then the color yellow is symbolic of intellect, energy, agility, happiness, harmony, and wisdom. On the other hand, if the dream is an unpleasant one, then the color represents deceit, disgrace, betrayal, cowardice and sickness. You have a fear or an inability to make a decision or to take action. Your desire to please others is at the risk of sacrificing your own needs and happiness. As a result, you are experiencing many setbacks.
The fact that the dream trains shrink down to 10% of their original size, means your dream may be telling you that you're well on the way to getting a handle on your life problems, or that you're successfully cutting your problems down to a manageable size, to an extent better than what you consciously realize.
