Dreaming of an Arch

arch, archway, gateway · mostly positive, unless it collapses

An arch mostly foretells rising to distinction and wealth earned through steady effort.

What happens in the dream

  • An arch: you'll rise to distinction and build wealth through persistence
  • Passing under an arch: people who once ignored you will seek you out
  • A fallen arch: your hopes collapse and your new situation will make you unhappy, the one dark exception

How you felt

  • Pride: the dream may reflect a sense of crossing an important threshold
  • Worry at a falling arch: perhaps a fear that your foundations won't hold

Ask yourself

  • What threshold am I crossing right now?
  • What is the thing I'm building really resting on?
