If you live in the Northern hemisphere, north can symbolize the harder route, because the northern latitudes are colder and more rugged. In dreams, references to the north can symbolize a rough road in life or difficult challenges. “North” can mean you take the road less traveled and the more difficult path in life that leads to personal and spiritual fulfillment. If you live in the Southern hemisphere, south is the direction of the more difficult route. North can mean you face a physical difficulty. For example, you break your leg and have to use crutches, and dream about taking the north road through rugged terrain, reflecting the physical difficulty of getting around. In some spiritual traditions, north is the direction of spirit and rebirth. Because winter lasts longest in northern latitudes, north can symbolize a time of dormancy or spiritual malaise.
