Dreaming of a Gutter
gutter, drain, sewer · mostly negative, with one happy exception
A gutter mostly points to degradation, though lying in one oddly promises honour.
What happens in the dream
- You lie in the gutter, or see someone lying there: an honour for you or someone you care about, the happy sign
- You find valuables in it: your right to some property will be challenged
- A broken gutter: be careful in a relationship that is moving too fast
- You see a gutter: a fall in standing, and unhappiness caused to others
How you felt
- Shame: the dream often reflects a fear of sinking low or being put down
- Humility: you may feel at rock bottom, just before climbing back
Ask yourself
- Where do I feel belittled?
- What could I lose through carelessness?
