Dreaming of a Quarry

quarry, gravel pit, stone pit · mixed

A busy quarry points to success earned by hard work; an idle one, to failure.

What happens in the dream

  • You are in a quarry with workers busy around you: you will advance through hard labour
  • An idle quarry: failure, disappointment and sometimes a death

How you felt

  • Determination: the dream may reflect a long, steady effort
  • Discouragement: perhaps a sense that a project has stalled

Ask yourself

  • What patient work am I doing?
  • Which project have I left standing idle?
