Dreaming of a Fence

fence, hedge, wall · mixed

A fence in a dream is about obstacles: getting over it means success, falling from it means failure.

What happens in the dream

  • You climb to the top of a fence: success will crown your efforts
  • You tear the fence down: you will overcome the toughest barriers
  • You build a fence: you are laying the groundwork for future wealth, and success in love
  • You fall off a fence: a project beyond your abilities will come to nothing
  • You squeeze through a fence: you will use questionable means
  • A fence collapses under you and others: an accident in which someone is hurt
  • Livestock jump into your enclosure: unexpected help; if they jump out: losses

How you felt

  • Frustration: the dream may reflect feeling blocked
  • A need for protection: it may show a wish to set boundaries

Ask yourself

  • What obstacle seems impossible to cross right now?
  • Do I need to protect my space better?
