Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball
1- For a map to appear in a dream often indicates the clarification of the direction we should be taking in life. We may feel that we are lost and need something to indicate the way forward, particularly so far as ambition or motivation is concerned.
A map that has already been used by other people would therefore indicate that we arc capable of taking a direction and learning from those people.
2- When we first set out on the journey of discovery which makes us grow into capable human beings, we often need clarification of the way that we must undertake the journey. In dreams this often appears as a map.
The direction we are being shown to take (See Position) is important; i.e. forwards, backwards, left or right and we are often helped by the idea of having a course to follow.
3- A map can obviously help us in our quest to find the spiritual way- forward.
It is worth remembering that we would need to read the map ourselves, and therefore we are our own guides.

Interpretation 3 — Versatile - Anonymous
Psychological / emotional perspective: When we first set out on the journey of discovery that makes us grow into capable human beings, we often need clarification of the way that we must undertake the journey. In dreams this often appears as a map, whether this is an old-fashioned map denoting perhaps out-of-date information, or a computer-generated one symbolizing that others have made the same journey.
The direction we are being shown to take is important: i.E. Forwards, backwards, left or right and we are often helped by the idea of having a course to follow.

Interpretation 4 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox
A map is a detailed description of an area so that navigation of that area is possible. As a symbol, a map represents the guidance you need to go where you desire. Since most maps deal with land, the focus here is on traversing areas of your conscious mind. There is an implication, however, that you may be going to places as yet unexplored.
The map shows up in your dreams when you are about to go on a trek of self-investigation and is an indication that you are being guided by forces beyond your comprehension to help you do so.

Vision: You are either about to go on a trip; or the dream wants to point you in the “right direction.” Do you recognize a specific region*- See Four Corners of the Compass, East, North, South, West.
Depth Psychology: A map reveals your life’s journey; use the map to determine your route—you might avoid unnecessary detours! The map also may represent your intellectual strength that will guide you on your journey through life.
See Compass.

To dream of a map, or studying one, denotes a change will be contemplated in your business. Some disappointing things will occur, but much profit also will follow the change.
To dream of looking for one, denotes that a sudden discontent with your surroundings will inspire you with new energy, and thus you will rise into better conditions.
For a young woman, this dream denotes that she will rise into higher spheres by sheer ambition.

The interpretation depends on whether you are following a map to a particular destination and you feel good about it, or whether you are trying to follow a confusing chart.
A confusing chart may indicate that you lack a clear sense of direction in your everyday life or are in the midst of changing long term plans. Following a good map in your dreams suggest that you are feeling confident in your current path and pursuits.

Interpretation 9 — Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
Maps, as one would expect, signify journeys and changes.
The larger the map was in your dream, the more distant will be the travel and/or the greater the change.
The more brightly colored the map, the happier the forecast.
If, in your dream, you were drawing a map, the travel or change will have a lucky aspect providing you used a pencil; if you used a pen, it signifies complications.
