The path, while in a dream, symbolizes the choices we have or will make in our lives.
So if you see that the path you are walking is dark, narrow, inaccessible and full of bad emotions, then some of your choices will lead you to dangerous situations.
However, if the path is bright, pleasant and smooth, then some of your choices will take you out of dead ends, or you will avoid complicated situations that you may have experienced otherwise.
