Dreaming of a Gate
gate, entrance, gateway, portal · mostly negative, with one happy exception
A gate is mostly about obstacles and difficult passages, except when you are the one locking it.
What happens in the dream
- Locking a gate: successful ventures and well-chosen friends, the happiest omen here
- Swinging on a gate: you may drift into idle pleasures
- A closed gate: you'll struggle to get past your current difficulties
- Struggling to open it or get through: your most demanding work will be poorly rewarded
- Seeing or going through a gate: worrying news about someone far away, and unpromising business
- A broken gate: failure and a discordant atmosphere
How you felt
- Frustration at a blocked way: the dream often reflects feeling held back
- Apprehension on the threshold: you may be on the brink of a change
Ask yourself
- What threshold am I struggling to cross right now?
- What am I trying to protect or keep out?
